Please be sure to contact us or visit our website for the most up-to-date workshop schedule at andersonranch.org. • We will contact you to let you know we received your application, to make sure we understand your workshop and housing choices, and to assess your skill level. If you have not heard from us within a week of submitting your application, please contact us to make sure we received your request. • Please read the workshop description carefully before enrolling to ensure that the workshop is appropriate for your skill level. • Anderson Ranch accepts all persons regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or religion. You must be at least 18 years old to attend an adult workshop. • Unacceptable behavior: Anderson Ranch reserves the right to refuse registrations from participants who have a history of disruptive behavior or to dismiss any student (without a refund) who disrupts our learning or living community. • Some studios are only accessible by stairs. Please call for more information. adult registration Please note that studio workshops for adults meet from 9 am to 5 pm., Monday through Friday, for one, two or three weeks unless otherwise noted in the description. Studios are open 24 hours a day, but outside of class time certain machinery and equipment may only be used during shop monitor hours. The hours for your particular studio/media will be specified on the supply list. Applicants will be enrolled (or waitlisted, depending on workshop availability) on a first-come, first-served basis starting Tuesday, January 2, 2018, 9:00 am MST as long as skill level is appropriate for the requested workshop(s). For advanced workshops requiring a portfolio review, once you are notified of your acceptance, a space will be held (and in dorm lodging, if available) for one week to allow you to work out the logistics; if the $500 deposit is not received by the end of that time, then the space will be released. 106  andersonranch.org  970/923-3181  [email protected] Registration for adults is confirmed upon receipt of a confirmation for workshop(s) and housing, showing deposits made, sent by email or mail. A Student Handbook containing important information about housing and check-in procedures, Monday morning orientation, the Café and meals, maps, shipping of supplies, etc., will be posted to our website and a link to it will be sent via email. If you would prefer a hard copy be mailed, please contact us to request it. children’s registration Children must be the correct age for the workshop as of the first day of class. Children’s workshops will meet for the times specified in the class description. We encourage students to bring personal snacks - but a simple snack and juice will be provided each day of class. Students attending all-day workshops are asked to bring a sack lunch (microwaves are not available). Please do not send your child with any food that contains nuts - we are a NUT-Free program. Applicants will be enrolled (or waitlisted, depending on workshop availability) on a first-come, first-served basis starting on Tuesday, January 2, 2018, 9:00 am MST, as long as the child’s age is appropriate for the workshop. Registration for children is confirmed once parents have received confirmation by email or mail. A Participation Waiver and Release Agreement will be emailed in early spring. Please complete the waiver form at that time and mail it back to the Ranch prior to the start of the first workshop. Some workshops for older children/teens may also have a supply list of suggested materials or tools to bring to the workshop, which represents an additional expense; this supply list will be emailed with the waiver form. workshop payment A deposit is required to reserve space in a workshop and in Ranch- provided housing; please note that our deposit amount has changed. One deposit of $500 is required to reserve a space for an adult in one or more workshops (with or without housing). If the total of tuition, studio fee and registration fee is less than $550—as with children’s workshops or the weekend photography workshops— then all monies are due at the time of registration. The Ranch accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, personal checks, bank checks, traveler’s checks, money orders and cash. The balance of tuition, studio and registration fees, and housing is due 60 days prior to the start of your first workshop. We will automatically charge the balance to the credit card used for the deposit when it comes due, unless you have made other arrangements prior to the due date. Thus, we strongly discourage the use of debit cards for deposit; we are not responsible for penalties you incur from your bank if an account is overdrawn when the balance is charged. If payment in full is not received by the due date, you risk forfeiting your enrollment and housing space and may also incur a cancellation fee.
