Program Policies

Course Withdrawal & Refunds

Full refunds are made for classes withdrawn from 10 or more calendar days before the first class, less a $25 administrative fee. No tuition refunds can be given thereafter. Material and model fees only will be reimbursed to those who withdraw from a class from 5 to 10 calendar days before the class starts. No partial refunds, pro-rated classes, or make-up classes are offered for student absence or scheduling conflicts.

Course Confirmation

The online registration process sends a receipt of your online transaction to your email account. A class confirmation email will be sent, but only if we have a current email address for you, just prior to the start of the term. Students are encouraged to call the Center with any questions about enrollment status. In the event that a course is full, the New Art Center will notify and fully refund students.

Late Registration

After classes begin, registration is permitted on a space-available basis with faculty approval.

Course Cancellation

The New Art Center reserves the right to cancel classes with a full refund if enrollment is insufficient to run the class. If possible, classes cancelled due to teacher absence and snow will be made up at the end of the term, or at a mutually agreed upon time.

Access Services

Call New England Telephone Relay at 1-800-439-2370 to reach the New Art Center. Certified hearing dogs and service animals are welcome. The Main Gallery is wheelchair accessible. Large print materials are available. To attend classes, students must be able to function independently or be accompanied by an aide.

Photo/Video/Voice Release

New Art Center programs are sometimes videotaped or photographed for publicity in catalogs, newspapers, radio, or television. Permission to be included in publicity is implied by enrollment. Please contact the office in writing if you do not wish to be included in publicity.

Children’s Special Circumstances

At the start of every term, parents must notify the office about any medical conditions, allergies, learning styles, social needs, or other special circumstances that might affect your child’s participation in the program,. Medications must remain in the New Art Center office—children may not self-administer any medications.

Gift Certificates

New Art Center Gift Certificates are available in any dollar amount for use with all Adult, Teen, and Children’s classes. For more information, call us at 617-964-3424, or, stop by the office.

Snow & Inclement Weather   

In the event of bad weather, daytime weekday classes will be cancelled only if the Newton Public Schools are closed. If Newton Public Schools announces a morning delay, please call the New Art Center office at 617-964-3424 to find out if your class will run that day. For evening and weekend classes, call the office to find out if your class is running. Class cancellations due to weather will be made up at the end of the term, if possible.
