What is the refund policy?

A nonrefundable fee of $1.99 will be charged at the time of registration. You have the option to pay for the programs you registered for in installments by paying the minimum down payment associated with those programs. Installment payments are scheduled automatically, created based on the time between registration and the start date of the program, and are due according to that schedule. If you choose to cancel registration for programs, any payments made towards the total balance due will be refunded, minus 7% of the total paid for the registration(s) being cancelled plus the nonrefundable $1.99 fee. Refunds will be processed within 14 business days of the cancellation request. If the program is cancelled by Mixxer Community Makerspace, all payments made will be refunded in full. Refund requests must be made in writing and can be sent via email to info@wsmixxer.org. No refund will be provided if a participant is expelled from the program due to violation of the program's code of conduct. All refund requests must be received seven (7) days before the start date of the program. Refund requests made after seven (7) days before the start date of the program will be refunded at $50% of total payments made.

Do phones/tablets need to be brought?

No. We provide all computers, materials, and tools. Students may bring their devices, but they are responsible for them.
