Cancellation Policy
Instructor-level classes may not be rescheduled or canceled for any reason. In the event of a cancellation, all tuition fees will be forfeited - no exceptions will be made to this policy. The American Red Cross requires that instructor-level classes have a minimum number of students to meet the course objectives. As a result, allowing instructor candidates to reschedule or cancel their enrollment would compromise the ability to conduct the course. Concurrently, in the event, an instructor-level class does not meet the minimum enrollment requirements, you will be given the option to reschedule to the next class, receive a credit, or receive a refund to the original form of payment.
