This summer quarter, we will have instruction available on Monday nights, Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings.
Sessions can be purchased in the following packages: 1 Session for $45, 2 Sessions for $80, 4 Sessions for $140 (Students rate for 4 Sessions = $100). With the exception of an emergency, you must cancel or reschedule a session with at least 24 hours notice to not have it count as a used session. All sessions purchased are valid through the end of the academic year and will expire on the last day of Spring Quarter.
