If I change my mind or my plans change after I’ve registered for a class or trip, can I get a refund?”?

CLASSES:
 Full refunds will be issued ONLY for a class that has been cancelled by CTAS.

Students may request a credit voucher good for one year if they meet the following requirements:

  • Contact the CTAS Office (215-887-1720) at least two (2) working days before the first class meeting for any course that meets fewer than 3 times.
  • Contact the CTAS Office (215-887-1720) within 48 hours after the first class meeting for any course that meets 3 or more times.

PLEASE NOTE: An $10.00 processing fee will be applied to all credit voucher requests.

TRIPS: Full refunds will be issued ONLY for a trip that has been cancelled by CTAS.

Trip registrants may receive a partial refund (cost of the trip less an $8 processing fee) by contacting the CTAS Office (215-887-1720) at least two weeks before the scheduled trip.

Unfortunately, CTAS cannot issue vouchers or refunds because of changes in a student’s personal affairs or health beyond the time limits stated above.

TRANSFERS:

  • An $10.00 processing fee will be applied to all transfers.
  • Please be aware that many courses have a policy of no entry after the first or second class meeting.
  • Contact the CTAS Office (215-887-1720) for further information about transfers.
