We are pleased to offer a 10% discount on the regular registration price for seniors over the age of 60 and to students who have a valid student ID. A senior or student discount cannot be combined with a member discount. Only one discount can be applied per registration.

We now offer our classes at three different price options: Regular, Community Supported, and Sponsor. Following the models of other institutions, we want to ensure that our classes are accessible to a wider audience while continuing to support our instructors. Please choose the registration price that best fits your situation.

After registering, you'll receive a confirmation email from us. The email will include everything you need to know before the first day of class, including check-in procedures and information about the course reading list. We'll also let you know if there are any assignments for the first class meeting. Leading up to the beginning of your class, you’ll receive reminder emails from us as well.

A minimum of seven registrants are needed to run a class. If a class doesn't have at least seven students, it will be canceled. In the event that your class is canceled, we will give you a full refund.

To request a refund, please cancel your registration in Learning Stream or email us. 

The Newberry retains a 10% cancellation fee.

• For one-day and two-session classes, tuition (minus the 10% cancellation fee) is refundable up to 24 hours before the class begins.
• For multi-session classes longer than two sessions, tuition (minus the 10% cancellation fee) is refundable until 24 hours after the first class meeting.
• Full refunds are only granted in cases of emergency.
