2024 Courses
FEBRUARY
FIELD TRIPS
We will have two or more courses this season on Zoom. Before your Zoom course starts, you will receive an email from the Lifelong Learning Program with the essential information: dates, times, and Zoom link to be used for all classes in the course.
Zoom courses are not geographically limited. If you know someone at any location who would be interested in signing up for one of our Zoom courses, please send them the Lifelong Learning Program website URL (address) so they can register directly. Only people whose names we have received from PayPal as having registered will be admitted into a Zoom course. If you register and pay for multiple people on your account, you will be responsible for sending the other people the zoom link which will be emailed only to your email address.
No cash refunds can be issued.
If WE are forced to cancel a course, you will be entitled to a substitute course at any price for use within one year. Alternatively, the course fee can be donated to the Lifelong Learning Program as a contribution. Please contact the Instituto administrator, Zara Fernández at z.fernandez@instituto-allende.edu.mx to choose the option you prefer.
If YOU are forced to cancel a course that you have registered for, you can request a certificate for a substitute course of equal or lesser value, valid for one calendar year from the cancellation date for use by you or a friend. Alternatively, the course fee may be donated to the Lifelong Learning Program as a contribution. If the course is in person, to receive either of these options, you must cancel five weekdays or more before the first class. Later notifications cannot be honored. Please contact the Instituto administrator, Zara Fernández at z.fernandez@instituto-allende.edu.mx to choose the option you prefer.
1. Electronically, with PayPal.
To pay using PayPal you will need a (free) PayPal account. You may already have one. It lets you choose to pay either directly from your bank or with a credit card.
PLEASE NOTE. The email address linked to your PayPal account is the only one we will have. If you use a different one to get your email, we cannot reach you if there are any changes you need to know about. If you are buying tickets for friends, please don’t forget to send their email address(es) to to Marilu at recepcion@instituto-allende.edu.mx .
2. In person, at the Instituto office, Ancha de San Antonio 22 Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
BEFORE REGISTERING, PLEASE READ AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
The health of our instructors, students and staff is our top priority. At this point, we are not going to mandate wearing masks, although students can do so if they want. We will continue to have the classroom cleaned regularly to ensure a sanitary environment. We are limiting the size of our classes to 40 to keep some reasonable distance between students. We reserve the right to change our policy regarding masks and class size if Covid or some other health danger emerges again prior to opening of classes in January 2024. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, feel free to contact John Wimberly at jwimberly6243@gmail.com
