LIFE's FALL 2011 CURRICULUM



The LIFE Institute Fall 2011 Calendar will be mailed out to 2010/11 Members and Spring Guests (as well as to all those have made requests) on Tuesday, July 12th.  They also will be available in the lobby of the Chang School (297 Victoria Street) beginning the week of July 18th.

It is IMPORTANT that you take note of some updates and changes regarding Fall Registration.
Please read through the following information regarding registration thoroughly and carefully.

REFUNDS:

We have made two small changes in this calendar in connection with refunds. Please think about them as you choose your courses:

1. Increase in administration charge:
The fees for every course include a non-refundable administration charge to cover our office costs for each transaction. Because these costs have risen significantly, we have had to increase this administration charge to $15. This means that if you drop a course your refund will be the course fee less $15.

2. Refund Deadlines:
The times before which you must apply for a refund have changed somewhat. They are now as noted below. You may apply for a refund of course fees before:
• the third session of a course of 7 weeks or more
• the second session of a course of 4-6 weeks
• the first session of a course of 1-3 weeks

Also, please note that if you still have any CREDIT VOUCHERS, they must be applied during this fall term. Once we move to online registration with credit card payment, vouchers will no longer apply.

ALSO

You may have heard that LIFE is moving to on-line registration. Yes, we are, but not just yet.  For this Fall Calendar, we are using the same registration process as last year.  This means:

• Registration will be accepted ONLY by mail.
• Full payment by cheque ONLY must accompany

  your registration.
• Cash will not be accepted. 
• All registrants must sign their own Course Registration Forms' Release of Liability.

Have fun choosing from the great array of courses in this calendar.
See you in class.
