There is no deadline for application. However, many of the workshops fill immediately so, to avoid disappointment, prompt application is advisable. Your participation for the entire workshop session is important. If your schedule requires you to arrive after the start or to leave prior to the end of the workshop, please make other arrangements or plan to participate at another time.

Acceptance
Applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis. A certain number of spaces have been reserved to allow for equal opportunity by international participants. Upon acceptance, you will receive a letter providing detailed information and suggestions for preparing for the workshop.

International participants: Although spaces are reserved to accommodate the usual delays in mail service, we strongly encourage you to return your application immediately, as these spaces cannot be indefinitely held if the workshop is filling.

Those applicants who were on a waiting list last year will be given priority this year, but we cannot guarantee enrollment. Because of the large number of applications received simultaneously for some of the workshops, consideration will be given to the information provided in the "Background Information" portion of the application. We encourage you to give some thought to this section.

If you receive one brochure and two or more wish to apply, please copy the application form and send one completed application form for each participant. Consideration is given to the individual participant's background.

If the workshop is already full when your application is received, we will offer the opportunity to enroll in any other workshop still open, or to be placed on the waiting list and your deposit will be returned to you.

Deposit & Payments
Please make all payments in United States dollars, and make checks or money orders payable to "John Sexton Photography Workshops." We do not accept charge cards.

A deposit of $150 for each workshop applied for must accompany your application. This includes a non-refundable $75 registration fee. Applications without the deposit cannot be processed.

The balance of the fee for each workshop is due no later than 30 days prior to the first day of the workshop. If you fail to pay your balance 30 days prior to the first day of the workshop, your space in the workshop and your deposit will be forfeited and your place will be filled from the waiting list.

Fees
Workshop fees cover tuition only. Some additional amenities may be included and are listed in the individual workshop descriptions. Meals (unless otherwise indicated), lodging and air fare are not included.

Withdrawal, Workshop Cancellation & Refund
If you need to withdraw from a workshop, you must inform us no later than 30 days prior to the first day of your workshop, and we will refund your deposit or full fee, whichever is applicable, less the registration fee of $75.

If you withdraw within the period 30 to 11 days prior to the first day of your workshop, the entire deposit of $150 will be retained.

No refunds of any kind will be made for withdrawal within 10 days in advance of the first day of the workshop, during the workshop, or for no shows.

If it is necessary for us to cancel a workshop, all registered participants will be informed immediately, and you will receive a full refund of all deposits and fees.

Notification of cancellation due to insufficient enrollment will be made at least ten days prior to the beginning of a workshop. For this reason we encourage you to purchase refundable airline tickets and consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance. The Workshops will not be responsible for any loss on airline tickets or any other losses related to cancellation.

Accomodations
A block of rooms, of varying room types and price ranges, has been reserved at comfortable lodges or motels for each workshop. Campgrounds are available near each location. We encourage you to stay with the group to participate in the informal exchanges occurring in this environment. More information will be sent upon registration.

Policies
Please, no smoking or pets allowed on the premises. No pets allowed at the lodging.

Waiver of Liability
The Workshops shall have no responsibility or liability for personal injury to any participant or damage to any participant's property, or for personal injuries or damage to the property of any other person resulting from the participant's involvement in any workshop. The Workshops shall have no responsibility for the acts, errors or omissions of instructors or staff, transportation companies, lodging facilities, restaurants, tour guides and outfitters, or other providers of services to participants in the course of the workshops.

The Workshops has the right to cancel any workshop and to alter the time, context, or format of any workshop in the event circumstances so require. In the event a workshop is cancelled, for any reason, the extent of the Workshops' liability is limited to the return of all fees paid to us.

The Workshops will not be responsible for reimbursement on airline tickets due to cancellation of a course, or replacement of an instructor. We recommend you purchase refundable tickets and consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance.

The Workshops reserves the right to substitute instructors if necessary and will attempt to inform all participants by mail or telephone. If a last minute substitution is necessary we will do our best to let you know.
