IMPACT Bay Area's policies allow flexibility for students while helping us reliably fill our classes to support our Mission. As a small nonprofit, we depend on course tuition fees to operate. Because we place great importance on creating a safe and supportive environment for our students, we reserve the right not to accept as students anyone we believe would disturb that environment.

• Our minimum class size is 8 participants. If the minimum enrollment is not met 48 hours prior to the class start date, IMPACT Bay Area reserves the right to cancel or reschedule the class, in which case the client will lose any deposit paid.
• For classes and courses 3-hours or longer, participants (or their guardians) are required to complete a safety waiver.
• A non-refundable and non-transferrable deposit of $500 is required for any scheduled private class no less than 2 weeks prior to the class start date. If the class is scheduled within 2 weeks of the class date, the deposit is due upon receiving the invoice. The remaining balance must be paid by the start of the class date.
