Midwest Photography Workshops makes every attempt to conduct all classes and workshops as scheduled.  Occasionally, insufficient enrolment causes MPW to cancel a workshop or class.  Any decision to cancel a class or workshop for lack of enrollment is made on the Thursday preceding the class.  Students, who have enrolled in a cancelled class or workshop have several options.

Midwest Photography Workshops will make every attempt to contact students prior to the start of each class or workshop to remind them of starting times and items to bring to class.  We apologize for any inconvenience encountered by the student arriving to the campus for a cancelled class or workshop due to an incorrect phone number or e-mail address.  If the student has not paid a deposit for the intended class or workshop, they do not have a reasonable expectation to get a reminder phone call.  MPW will not be responsible to reimburse any expenses to the student due to their arrival to the school for a cancelled class or workshop.
Midwest Photography Workshops registers students on a first-come-first served basis.  Certificate Students get priority for classes that are sold out.
If the student needs to cancel or drop out of any class or workshop, a two-week minimum notice is required.  If the class or workshop is posted on our web page:  www.mpw.com as sold out, a minimum three-week minimum notice is required to facilitate the replacement of that sold out seat.  MPW will make every attempt to re-fill that vacated seat from our waiting list. 

If no replacement is found, the entire deposit is forfeited up to but not to exceed 50% of the entire class or workshop fee.  The penalty of forfeit might be waived if extenuating medical circumstances exist. (Medical proof may be required.)   If notification of cancellation by the student is delivered with more than two weeks prior to the start of the class, no penalty will be accessed.
