Deposit and Refund Policy
“Today is non-refundable. Therefore, I’d better live it in a manner that a refund is unnecessary.”
Deposits: A non-refundable deposit of $500 will reserve your space on any of our course offerings. Full payment is due 60 days prior to the course.
Payments: We accept personal checks, cashier’s checks, money orders, Paypal, Venmo, and Square.
Refunds: In the event that you are unable to join us the following guidelines will apply. All deposits include a $500 non-refundable registration fee. Partial refunds may be provided 30 to 60 days prior to the trip date. Any amount retained by Alaska Outdoor Science School can be credited towards another trip if used within 12 months. No refunds will be provided within 29 days of the trip date. This policy has been established to meet the demands of planning well-organized trips. If for any reason a trip ends early there will be no refund. If you have not paid in full 30 days prior to your trip’s departure, and you have not contacted us regarding other payment options, we reserve the right to schedule another individual in your place. In this event, you are responsible for any associated costs.
