Frequently Asked Questions

What is your refund policy?

A full refund will be issued when a student withdraws at least 14 business days before the start of class by calling the CS Office at 207.699.5061. There are no refunds given after that time. Please note this does not apply to Pre-College or Travel programs.

Who qualifies for a discount?

  • Current MECA&D and PMA employees: 100% off tuition, only responsible for paying studio fees.
  • MECA&D alumni: 30% off tuition.
  • K-12 visual art teachers: 50% off tuition.

Please email us, call us, or come by the Continuing Studies Office to inquire about availability (there are a limited number of discounted slots available per class, and they are applied on a first-come, first-served basis) and information about how to register.

Note: We are not able to issue discounts for classes that travel off campus or Salt intensives. Full payment must accompany your registration.
