Cancellation and Refunds:

La Romita’s refund policy only applies to individuals who are paying La Romita directly to attend a workshop. If you are paying someone else to attend a workshop hosted at La Romita then contact that person to find out what their policies are. If you need to cancel your registration for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible by sending an email to registrations@laromita.org.

If you are able to find a replacement to fill your spot, we will issue a full refund.

If you would prefer, and if room is available, we can apply the balance towards a different workshop (even in a different season) for a $50 administrative fee.

Otherwise, the following fees will be deducted from your refund:

  • $500 will be held as non-refundable to cover administrative fees.
  • Cancellation 45 – 90 days before the workshop start-date: 75% of the workshop price.
  • With less than 45 days notice, La Romita reserves the right to retain the full cost of your workshop as a cancellation fee.

If the class has to be cancelled for reasons outside of our control, you will receive a full refund (minus deposit) even if the cancellation occurs within the 90 day window. If the class is rescheduled, and you are unable to attend the rescheduled class, you will receive a refund, minus your deposit.
