Conditions of Enrollment
Hawken Summer Studies requires that all students subscribe to the following conditions of enrollment. The $200 deposit secures a student’s place in classes until Friday, May 15, when full payment is due. If a student registers and then withdraws from a class by the Friday prior to the start of the course, one-half of the tuition will be refunded. No refunds will be made thereafter. Hawken Summer Studies reserves the right to cancel any course for which there is insufficient enrollment. If enrollment is insufficient for a course to run, we will notify families by May 1st, and deposits will be refunded. To balance enrollments and ensure reasonably sized classes, it may be necessary to change a student’s selected class time if multiple sections of a course are offered.
