What is the Policy for a Course Cancellation Due to Low Enrollment?
*We will make every effort to run a course.  However, the Oregon Washington APSI, LLC reserves the right to cancel a course when the enrollment is not sufficient to support the cost of the course. Status of each course is posted on the OR WA APSI web site and is updated every other week. We use a color code system, “Green = the course will run”. Please check the OR WA APSI web site for this information. A decision to cancel a course is usually made around June 9. In the event of a course cancellation when teachers are registered and paid, s full refund of the APSI fee is returned to the payee.
