General Policies

Copyrights All teaching materials, videos, and methodology are the property of Galaxy Kids CC and are not to be used by any outside instructors, clubs, tutors, or organizations without explicit written permission.

Student’s behavior All student participants are expected to conduct themselves properly and at all times follow the instructions of the instructors and volunteers. The use of profanity will not be accepted. Galaxy Kids CC is a safe environment and any bullying in any form, will not be tolerated (this includes cyberbullying and trolling). If a student fails to follow the rules or has excessive behavioral issues that continually disrupt other children’s ability to learn and participate, or needs constant attention to do so, the child will be removed from participation in the class and their parents/guardians will be contacted and required to pick up the child immediately. There is no refund or credit for a child asked to leave the program for behavioral reasons. Galaxy Kids CC strives to create a safe, welcoming environment for all children where instructors and children can direct their energies toward learning and creating.

Enrollment and Refund Registration and enrollment fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. In the rare case that a class is canceled due to low enrollment, participants will receive a full refund. Cancellations initiated by the participant must be requested a minimum of 2 weeks before the start of the course/camp less a 20% cancellation fee (unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase). This request must be made in writing to info@galaxykidscodeclub.com.

Monthly Payments & Attendance (applies to monthly membership clients): Membership students attend class once a week on a fixed day and time. Our membership program runs year-round and we bill on a monthly cycle. Payment is automatically withdrawn using the payment method on file. Students will not be allowed to attend class if an invoice is outstanding for more than 3 days. Payments are due on the same day each month (based on the day of enrollment). The monthly fee is fixed regardless of the number of weeks/classes in a month. Some months will have 5 weeks and some months will have 3 weeks (in the case of major holidays). The monthly rate already factors in this variance in the number of classes per month. Our holiday/closure schedule can be found here.

Missed Classes & Make-ups

NOTE: This policy applies only to our monthly membership students. We are unable to offer make-up classes or credits for missed classes in Jr. Code Club, camps, workshops, or special events.

Make-up classes are offered as a courtesy and are not guaranteed. We require 24-hours notice for any changes to your regular class time (planned absences, vacations, illness, etc.) in order to arrange a make-up class. Make-up classes need to be arranged in advance and must occur within 2 weeks of the missed class. A missed class can be rescheduled once; if a student misses a scheduled make-up it cannot be rescheduled again. Absences due to contagious illness: If an in-person student must isolate due to COVID-19 or other highly contagious illness, we can accommodate the student in one of our virtual-only classes if space is available. Requests must be made 24-hours in advance of their regularly scheduled class. We cannot accommodate same-day requests. Students must also have the proper equipment at home to attend class virtually. Otherwise, the student can schedule a make-up class in person per the above policy.

Un-enrollment

Our program is ongoing, year-round and you are free to cancel or resume at any time. Please note that our class sizes are limited and we operate on a first come first serve model. We cannot hold a student’s spot without payment.

We require a 2 week written (email or text) notice prior to cancellation so we can stop automatic monthly payments. Payments already processed will not be refunded. If paying with a purchase order or homeschool voucher and the voucher has already been approved by your charter, mid-month cancellations are not possible. Credits cannot be given for missed classes due to canceling/unenrolling mid-month.
