    • All classes require registration and payment if a fee is charged, before attending.

    • Early registration and payment are appreciated. Please help us allow our teachers time to prepare the proper quantity of class materials by registering early for classes.

    • Online registration for classes ends 1 day before class begins. If a class does not appear on the online registration portal, there may still be space to enroll. Please call or email to inquire.

    • Payments and registrations are due by the first day of class. If you are not able to pay before the first meeting of your class, please contact our Program Coordinator to discuss accommodations (info@reachstudioart.org or 517-999-3643)

    • REACH reserves the right to cancel activities due to insufficient registration.

    • Scholarships (full and partial) are offered for all fee-based youth classes based on household income. See household income/scholarship eligibility here.

    • In addition to three fee levels in youth classes, siblings registering for the same class at the same time receive a 10% discount, even at all tuition levels. Creative Tots siblings receive a 65% discount.

    • Some programs such as Life Drawing and Walk-in Wednesdays are registered for on a weekly basis or walk-in registration and charge an optional suggested fee. Paying what you can for these “free” programs helps REACH continue to offer them.

    • Full refund if REACH cancels a class due to insufficient enrollment.

    • All students, visitors, and staff are required to wear a well-fitting mask that covers the nose and mouth while inside the REACH facility for programs and events. While we have limited extra masks on hand if you forget yours, we appreciate it when you can remember to bring your own masks. We are thankful for your collaboration in helping us care for those who may be at higher risk of severe infection by always wearing your mask inside.

    • All students, staff, and visitors should refrain from attending class if they have contracted a transmissible disease or are experiencing symptoms of such (fever, more than normal coughing, sneezing, runny nose, etc).

    • If you arrive early (more than 5 minutes before class starts) we ask that you stay with your child until class starts to allow teachers to finish setting up a class

    • If you are running late or know if you or your child will miss a class session, please contact us at (517) 999-3643 or info@reachstudioart.org. This helps our staff to be prepared and plan accordingly.

    • Missed class sessions cannot be made up, or fees discounted. Dismissal from class sessions due to misconduct or failure to follow our policies is not refundable or discounted.

    • Enrolling in REACH programs acknowledges implied consent to photograph students and student artwork without compensation and for REACH purposes. Photographs are used for documentation and promotion of REACH programs through print and social media.

    • Your completed registration in a REACH class or program is your agreement to abide by the above policies.

    • We always welcome your honest feedback regarding your or your child’s experience at REACH. Your feedback helps us plan for future classes and activities.
