Specifics of Enrollment (Class Hours):
Registration. Size of classes is purposely kept small; therefore, they fill rapidly. We suggest you register early.
Multiple Choice. Since classes fill quickly, we ask you to give us a 1st and 2nd choice of class and dates. We will give you your first choice whenever possible.
Notification. As soon as you register you will receive a written confirmation of your class and a Washington Island map/brochure/car ferry schedule. 3 weeks prior to your class you will be sent: 1. list of materials you will need to bring, and the cost of any materials that will be supplied to you by your instructor; 2. student policy sheet; 3. class agenda; and 4. names and addresses of students who will attend class(es) during that time. If you have registered for housing with us, you will also receive a housing information sheet.
Cancellation/Transfer. Any student
who needs to cancel a registration
for a class must let us knowone
month before the first day of
class to get a full refund (minus
a $25 processing fee per class
cancelled). Students
who cancel less than one month
before the first day of class
will receive a 50% refund of
the class fee. There is no
refund once a class has begun.
If it is necessary for Sievers School to cancel a class for any reason, all registered students will be notified immediately and extended the opportunity to register for another class. Students who do not wish to transfer will receive a full refund of all fees paid.
If a registered student wishes to transfer
to a different class, there will
be a $25 processing fee, if the
switch is made 4 weeks or more
before the first day of the original
class. If a student
wishes to transfer less than
one month before the original
class, they will forfeit 50%
of that class fee.
We advise students traveling by air to double-check with us 6-8 weeks before class before booking their flight, in case enrollment is too low to warrant the class’s being held.
Adult-Oriented Instruction. To
facilitate the learning process
and instruction, enrollment is
limited to ages 16 and older, with
the exception of the Adult/Child
classes. Pets are not permitted
on the grounds. Visitors
are not permitted during regular
class hours. Sievers reserves
the right to refuse registrations
from participants who have a history
of disruptive behavior.
Materials Fee. If applicable, the materials fee is payable to the instructor the first day of class. (The fees now listed in the Class Listings descriptions may vary slightly at that time, to reflect current market prices.)
Equipment. We supply most of the basic equipment needed for your class. We do not supply sewing machines on a regular basis, although we do have a limited number of them available for rental. Contact us for further information. Looms, spinning wheels and related accessories are provided here for your use.
