Refund and Cancellation Policy:


Cancellations more than one week prior to a class are subject to a 15% cancellation fee. Cancellations with less than one-week notice are non-refundable.

After Course has Commenced:
Instructors have no authority to grant or promise refunds. In the event of a family emergency or because of inclement weather circumstances, the student can later complete the course by taking the missed single classes from the same instructor and notifying the program manager two weeks before the course starts. If more than 20% of the course is missed because of the family emergency or the inclement weather circumstances, the course can be re-taken free during the same year from any instructor in that media if space is available.

These policies apply to all registrations in the Botanical Art and Illustration program. Selected courses have additional cancellation and refund requirements printed with the course description. Denver Botanic Gardens regrets that it cannot make exceptions.

Certificate credit requirements for individual courses:
Attendance is required at the first class for all courses. In order to receive credit, 80 % of a course must be attended (at least 12 hours of a 15-hour course).
