Deposit to Hold a Seat:
Sessions often fill quickly. You are placed on the roster when a completed application and the deposit fee or tuition is received at the Options for Animal’s office. If a group of modules is already filled, you will be notified and have the choice to be placed on a waiting list, have your application processed for the next most convenient session or have your application returned and all monies refunded.
The minimum DEPOSIT FEE to hold a seat is $350.00 USD. Please remit the Deposit fee with this enrollment form if application is made more than thirty (30) days before the start of the first module. If you fail to enter the course, for any reason (except a full course as described above), all monies paid will be refunded within 60 days of withdrawal, less a non-refundable application fee of $150.00 USD.
