Terms of Enrollment & Cancellation Policy

For all Lighthouse programs, excepting Lit Fest and retreats, the following refund schedule applies*:

• More than three weeks before start date: A cancellation fee of 10% of the total workshop cost applies to refunds, credits, or switches.
• Less than three weeks before start date: 25% cancellation fee applies to refunds, credits, or switches. 
• Four business days before the start of class: No refund, credit, or course switches are available.

Unless otherwise requested, all cancellations result in a course credit, usable within one year. Please check your order details in your email confirmation. If you notice any errors (such as a duplicate item purchase, scheduling conflict, incorrect day/time, etc.) please contact staff at [email protected] within 2 business days from your date of purchase to avoid cancellation fees.

All deposits and payments made are nontransferable. Lighthouse cannot provide refunds, transfer payments, or offer makeup sessions for classes a student might miss, for any reason. All memberships, event tickets and special events, and festival pass purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable. (For all retreats, please see retreat brochure for cancellation policies.) If Lighthouse has to cancel a class, you will receive a full refund or credit. Please note that credits expire one year after they are issued.

We're currently updating our Lit Fest cancellation policy for 2027. Check back later for updates!
