Policies and Procedures

Please note: Instructors may be subject to change.

Making a Reservation:
A 20% non-refundable deposit is needed to secure a reservation. The balance of the tuition is due by the first day of class unless other payment arrangements have been made with our Finance Department.

Financial Assistance:
Limited financial assistance is available for qualifying students. Please download the scholarship application form. All applications must be received at least 2-weeks prior to the start of the class.

Payment Plans:
Please contact Lois Fischman in our Finance Department at (805) 667-2912 ext. 233 to ask about payment plan options.

Cancellation Policy:
Students may withdraw from a class free of charge two-weeks prior to the first day of class. Cancelations must be done in writing or via email. Withdrawing from a class after the drop-class deadline will result in a refund minus the 20% non-refundable registration fee. Students withdrawing from a class after the start date must do so in writing and a refund will be subject to approval.

Cancellation of a Class:
If for any reason a class should be cancelled by Rubicon, you will receive a full refund for the class or have the choice to apply that tuition to another class or education program.

Auditing a Class:
If you wish to audit a class, please contact the Education and Outreach Department at 805-667-2912 ext. 230. Classes may be audited once for which there is a $20 fee that can be applied to your tuition if you choose to enroll in the class. Auditing a class allows you to experience the class as an observer.
