Tuition for all class registrations is transferable (not refundable) only IF the student notifies BMI three business days before the start of the class. BMI must have time to fill a vacated seat or you will forfeit your tuition fee. We do maintain Wait Lists for our classes so this allows another student in when we receive proper and courteous notification.
