What is your cancellation policy
Student Withdrawal/ Cancellations
If we, MFS, must cancel a course, for whatever reason, students will receive a full refund of any payments made for that course. Because of registration costs, class "run" minimums, and other services, including faculty contracts and material acquisitions, the Michigan Folk School is required to charge cancellation fees to students who change their itineraries. 

Once students have registered for a class the cancellation policy is now in effect.  Regardless of the reason for canceling, and with respect for the time and energy instructors invest in preparing for courses, including ordering supplies, students who cancel their enrollment 21 days or less prior to the first day of the course are not eligible for a refund of any amount. Some courses, such as Timber Framing courses, have different cancellation policies. Those policies will be noted on the listing for the individual course page.
managing Registrations

reminder emails?
You will receive a Confirmation of Purchase email after your purchase a course.  About 3-5 days prior to the start of a course you will receive another automated email as well as an Instructional email about attending a class.  Please make sure that you put the class in your personal calendar.
HOW EARLY SHOULD I REGISTER?
 Early! Our classes are small and many fill quickly, so we recommend you register as soon as possible to get your class of choice- six months in advance is not too early! ​
WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?
Full payment is due at the time of registration, either by credit card ( Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, debit cards.), check or cash.  If cash or check is required, please email us at registrar@MiFolkSchool.com to arrange for payment and registration.  ​

Gift Vouchers
Do you offer Gift certificates
Yes, we do, however we call them Gift Vouchers (same thing, different name).  

​To purchase a Gift Voucher please navigate to the Catalog of Classes and select Gift Vouchers from the top of catalog.  From there you can choose your amount and even the design of your voucher. 
How do I use my gift voucher?
Once you select a class and date, you will enter the special code printed on your voucher at checkout.  Any unused Gift Voucher funds will be held as a balance in your account.  If the class costs more than the balance on your Gift Voucher, you will have the chance to use a credit card on the checkout page to zero out your balance.  
Do you offer a hard copy gift voucher
No, I am sorry we do not.  All of our Gift Vouchers are digital and emailed to you after purchase.
