Welcome! You have enrolled in a great spiritual adventure.

…I am aware of the Divine within me…I know that this is accessible to all.  —Ernest Holmes

 
Here are a few guidelines to ensure a good start for your class:

Plan to come a little early to the first class. You will get a notebook with the class curriculum at the first class.

Buy the books you’ll use in the class at Stepping Stones Bookstore.

If you find you can’t attend the first class, please notify the Education office, 546-4543 x118.

After the first class, notify the teacher of any anticipated or emergency absences. On the “day of,” you may leave a message at 546-4543.

Plan to attend all classes, as successful completion requires a limited number of absences – your teacher will inform you of the absence policy in the first class.

Withdrawal from classes requires notifying the Education office. 

Education Ministry Refund Policy

All classes have a non-refundable and non-transferrable registration deposit of $45.

To drop a class prior to the first class meeting, e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with a copy to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Refunds will be processed within 15 days, less the $45 deposit.

Students who attend the first class and pay tuition are entitled to a full refund (less the $45 non-refundable deposit) if they formally give notice of their intent to withdraw after the first session and before the second session and use the refund form (in the student workbook binder) to request a refund prior to the second class meeting.

Students must also notify the teacher or an assistant that they are dropping the class. The student workbook and binder and the request for refund form are to be turned in to the Education Ministry or the teacher. A refund will be issued through the Center's Business Office within 15 days of notification. If the student wishes to keep the binder, $10 will be deducted from the refund.

All refunds are prorated on a per class basis (except the first class if the drop occurs before the second class), based on the number of classes elapsed. The $45 non-refundable portion is deducted prior to calculations. No refunds will be made after 50% of the classes have taken place. No refunds will be made if the student fails to notify the teacher or the Education Ministry within 2 weeks of dropping the class. A student who simply stops coming to class is not entitled to a refund several weeks or months later.

If additional installment payments (or prorated portion) are due the Center at the time the student drops, those payments must be made within 2 weeks of dropping the class. If any amount due remains unpaid, the student may not enroll in any additional classes until all tuition is paid.

Sample refund:
$200 for 10-week class = $20 per class.
Student dropped after third class and before fourth and turned in a re-usable workbook and binder:
$200
  -$45 non refundable deposit
  -$60 for three classes @ $20 each
  = $95 REFUND

If a student drops after the fifth class, there is no refund.
