REGISTRATION

How to Register: Complete the registration form in this brochure or download one. Please submit one registration form per student (photocopies acceptable). Registrations are accepted by mail, hand-delivery, or fax.

When to Register: Everyone may register now. Registrations from returning FlynnArts students and Flynn Members will be processed immediately. Anyone may become a Flynn Member by including a membership donation with your class registration (or become a member on line). Registrations from non-members/new students will be held and processed in the order received beginning August 31. Those who register by that date earn a special two-for-one ticket offer to select Flynn performances (see details at right).

Class Confirmation: After registration, students will receive a letter confirming their spot in the class.

Waiting Lists: Students who are placed on waiting lists will be contacted if space becomes available.

Withdrawals/Cancellations:

Classes of 6–15 weeks: Intention to withdraw must be made known to us at least two weeks prior to the first class to secure a refund, less a 15% registration fee. Withdrawals announced less than two weeks prior to the first class result in a tuition credit (less 15%). After the second class, no credits will be issued. Workshops: Tuition is non-refundable.

Workshops/Masterclasses: Tuition is non-refundable.

The Flynn Center reserves the right to cancel classes and provide refunds with insufficient registration or to discontinue student participation in the unlikely event of persistent disruptive behavior.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Payment Plans: Payment plans are available to anyone who prefers to split up their balance into two to four installments. The first installment of 25% is due with registration, and the remaining 25% payments are due February 1, March 1, & April 1. Full tuition must be paid by April 1, and is due regardless of student’s attendance record or decision to withdraw from class. Check the box at bottom of the registration form and sign agreement.

Scholarships: A limited number of need-based scholarships are available to support access to FlynnArts for all interested students. To apply, indicate the amount you need on the registration form, attach a description of your financial situation, and enclose a 25% nonrefundable deposit to hold your space in the class. Please note that full scholarships are rarely available—please estimate the portion of tuition you can afford and request a specific amount of assistance. Scholarship decisions will be made the week of January 11. Scholarships are funded by the Flynn Center, the Turrell Fund, the Parkhinson Hill Scholarships, and by the generosity of contributions to the Flynn Jazz Endowment, initiated by a challenge grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
