Why is there a cancellation fee?

The cancellation fee is an important part of your registration, as it helps to support the agreement between you and Alien In-Line that comes along with registering for a program. Additionally, your cancellation fee helps offset our processing fees and costs associated with your cancellation such as: issuing the credit, updating the website and registration form, notifying students on the waitlist, registering a new student to fill the space, invoicing, and more. We greatly appreciate your support and understanding of this policy.

Does my child need to be the age listed on the registration, or is there some flexibility?

We strive to provide the best experience possible for all of our participants. We put much thought into the planning and instruction for the specific ages of each program. Therefore, we do ask that you adhere to the stated ages for each program. We also want to be true to our advertising and the other children who sign up for the program by meeting their expectations of the age-range.

We are doing our best to work with the fluid nature of family’s changing plans. As a small business, we need to have policies in place to support our ability to be here for you and continue offering programming. We gratefully request that you respect our policies.

Thank you for your support!
