PROGRAM POLICIES & PARTICIPANT EXPECTATIONS
A Screenwriter’s Summer Camp is designed to provide participants with a focused, immersive, professional, and creative learning environment. The following policies and procedures are intended to help maintain a productive experience for all participants, instructors, guests, and staff.
By registering for the program, participants acknowledge and agree to abide by the policies outlined below.
REGISTRATION & SEAT RESERVATION POLICY
Enrollment is limited.
Seats are reserved only after the required non-refundable seat reservation deposit has been received and confirmed.
Submitting a registration form alone does not guarantee enrollment.
Senwot Network Films reserves the right to approve, deny, postpone, or cancel enrollment applications when necessary to maintain the integrity and operational structure of the program.
DEPOSIT POLICY
A non-refundable seat reservation deposit of $295 is required to secure enrollment in either course track.
The deposit:
-reserves the participant’s seat,
-applies toward the full program investment,
-and helps secure classroom placement, scheduling, and program preparation.
The deposit is non-refundable under all normal circumstances unless the program itself is canceled by Senwot Network Films.
Participants are strongly encouraged to ensure they are fully committed before submitting the seat reservation deposit.
PAYMENT POLICY
Full payment balances must be completed prior to the start of the selected course session unless written payment arrangements have been approved by Senwot Network Films.
Failure to complete payment obligations before the course begins may result in:

-forfeiture of seat placement, or removal from the course schedule.
Senwot Network Films reserves the right to refuse participation until payment obligations are satisfied.
Returned payments, declined transactions, disputed charges, or fraudulent payment activity may result in immediate cancellation of enrollment.
REFUND POLICY
Because enrollment space is limited and seats are reserved specifically for each participant, all deposits are non-refundable.
Refund requests for tuition payments beyond the deposit portion may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis prior to the course start date.
Once a course session has begun, refunds will generally not be issued except under extraordinary circumstances approved by Senwot Network Films.
Participants removed from the program due to disruptive behavior, policy violations, harassment, illegal activity, or repeated misconduct are not eligible for refunds.
