Enrollment Policy
In General:  Registrations will be accepted in the order received. A course will be declared “closed” when payment for a maximum of ten registrations has been received, (See the information under “Payment” below). Please note that a minimum of four registrations is required to open a course. If this minimum is not met, students who have already registered for the course will be offered other options, including registering for a different course. If students who have already registered wish to keep a course open with fewer than 4 students, course fees for SEMI-PRIVATE INSTRUCTION will apply. (Please contact Karine Cantin at 612-332-0436 for information).

For course-level placement purposes, non-beginner students who have not previously studied at the Alliance Française must be evaluated by Alliance Française staff before registering for a course.

Membership Requirement:  Membership in the Alliance Française is required in order to register for Alliance Française courses. The non-refundable membership fee is valid for 12 full months. Membership privileges include, in addition to eligibility to participate in our French language instruction program, borrowing rights to our library (French books and videos), free or discounted admission to various cultural and leisure activities, and discounts on goods and services from various companies and local organizations.

Payment:  Course fees must be paid in full before students attend the first class. A student will not be considered registered for a course until full payment has been made. A $5.00 non-refundable registration fee applies to all registrations.

Course Cancellations:  The Alliance Française reserves the right to cancel a class due to insufficient registration. Course fees already paid for a cancelled class will be refunded based on the original method of payment.
    
Discounts
The Alliance Française offers its students a choice of several discount programs. Students must select the discount program they wish to use at the time they register, since we cannot apply discounts retroactively. Discount programs cannot be combined. See below for more information about our discount programs.

Early Registration Discount:  A $10 early registration discount is available to students who register before the end of the prior session. There is no early registration discount for children’s classes.

Student Discount:  A $50 student discount  is available to high school and college students. A current student ID is required  at the time of registration.

Double Session Discount:  A $60 discount is available for students who register and pay for two 10-week courses to be taken consecutively.

Our standard registration, payment, withdrawal and refund policies apply for course fees paid for a double session if the student later withdraws after completing the first course session.
    
Withdrawal & Refund Policy
Withdrawal from a course must be made in writing, addressed to the Registrar, and should include a request for either a refund (if available) or a tuition credit. A $15.00 withdrawal fee will be deducted from the amount of any refund or tuition credit to cover our administrative costs for processing course withdrawals.

Students must withdraw no later than (2) two weeks before a course session begins to receive a full refund of course fees only (The $5.00 registration fee, membership fees, and the cost of any purchased course materials are non-refundable). Students who withdraw after this two-week period, but before the end of the second week of a course
session will receive a tuition credit equal to 75% of course fees paid.

No credit for previously paid course fees will be issued after the second week of classes.

Credits for course fees MUST be used in full within one year from date of issue.

There are no discounts, refunds, or fee credits for missed classes.
