TERMS OF AGREEMENT

Terms and Tuition Refund Policy

Your tuition payment is due upon acceptance of your Enrollment Agreement and before your classes begin. The total price for the program you select includes the complete program as described in our literature as of the date of this agreement and all materials are yours to keep.

In no event shall the Sonoran Desert Institute be liable for any consequential, punitive or multiple damages of any kind.

For students enrolling from outside the United States, tuition payment must be made in U.S. dollars only. International students are also responsible for payment of any applicable customs duties and fees on the lessons and other program materials. This may include the actual cost of shipping any lesson of lab materials to their location.

We believe that you will find your chosen program to be everything we claim. To assure you of this, we provide you with this liberal Tuition Protection Agreement. You may request cancellation in any manner, but written request is recommended. Tuition refunds will be based on the date you cancel and the point at which you are in the program/course of study, as follows:
