Registration

Participants in classes are not required to be members of the Japanese Culture Institute, though members will be eligible to register for classes, seminars and workshops at the member’s rate. Membership and activity fees (when applicable) are payable in advance.

Please see the Membership page for information about becoming a member of the Japanese Culture Institute.

Registration Form
Please complete the registration form and either mail in advance or bring to the first meeting of the scheduled activity. Please note that there is often a minimum number of students needed to hold a particular class. If the minimum is not met, those who have registered will be notified and given the option of a refund or a private class at a slightly greater rate.

Refunds
Activity refunds are available only before the beginning of the first class. A 10% administrative fee will be charged. Membership fees are not refundable.

Cancellations
Activities cancelled by the Institute will be rescheduled, however activities missed by the member will not be reimbursed. Make-ups for missed activities are not allowed, unless specially scheduled in advance.

Activities will not generally be held on national holidays. In cases of severe weather, please check the Institute’s website (www.japanesecultureinstitute.org) to see if classes will meet or be cancelled.

Class/Seminar/Workshop Fees
Fees for classes, seminars and workshops will vary, depending on length of session and type of class. An additional fee may be charged for supplies, or the student may be required to procure supplies on his or her own (a list will be provided).
