Cancellation Policy

No refunds can be made for cancellations unless another student from our waiting list can fill your space. If we can fill your space a refund will be made less the registration deposit.

Northwest Connections cannot make exceptions to this cancellation policy for any reason, including, but not limited to, illness, travel delays, personal or family situations, emergencies or weather. We urge you to investigate accident, baggage, and trip cancellation insurance with a travel agent. Travel insurance helps protect you against financial loss if you must cancel or interrupt a trip because of illness or injuries to yourself, a family member, or traveling companion.

NwC reserves the right to cancel the course due to insufficient enrollment. In the unlikely event of such a cancellation, NwC will notify students by December 20 and students shall be entitled to a full refund of all monies paid.  NwC is not responsible for financial loss due to non-refundable airline tickets or other such expenses.
