CANCELLATION POLICY:
We ask participants to register only for classes they plan to attend and to reserve cancellations for emergencies or unexpected circumstances. As a small nonprofit, we intentionally keep class sizes small and affordable. Late cancellations often prevent others from participating and impact instructors who have already prepared for class. We recognize that emergencies and unexpected conflicts happen, and exceptions may be considered in extraordinary circumstances.

>>> If your class is 6 or fewer days away, please call us immediately at (419) 874-4174.
>>> If your class is 7 or more days away, cancellations may be emailed to hello@577foundation.org.

PLEASE NOTE:
>>> Please use the main phone number or email address above. Contacting individual staff members or other extensions may delay your request. Online cancellations are not available.

>>> Refund eligibility is based on how close your cancellation request is to the class date. Please see the Refund Policy below.

>>> Once your registration has been accepted, a 5% administrative fee applies to refunds issued to the original payment method (credit card, cash, or check), regardless of the reason for cancellation.

Minimum Enrollment & Inclement Weather: Classes may be canceled by 577 due to low enrollment, inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. If 577 or a Community Instructor cancels a class, you may choose to:

>>> Transfer to another class, if space is available.
>>> Receive a 100% refund via your original payment method.
>>> Receive a 100% Household Credit to your account for a future class.
