**Registration Fee**

We ask that registrations for the 2011 Academy are received by June 18, 2011. Complete the registration form and send in or email to us! If you prefer not to send payment right away, we will gladly send an invoice. Registration fees are as stated below:

Registrations received on or before June 18, 2011: $375.00 (includes a non-refundable $50 processing fee) Registrations received between June 19 and July 17, 2011: $400.00 (includes a non-refundable $50 processing fee) Day of registrations (July 18, 2011): $425.00 (includes a non-refundable $50 processing fee)


 * No refunds will be given for cancellations the week before the Academy or for "no shows"**


 * Attendance Policy **


 * We expect participants in the John Muir Academy to have a fun and exciting learning experience, but we also expect them to put in a full week's work. It is our expectation that Academy participants will attend the entire week, including the industry tours and discussions that follow.**


 * Exceptions will be made only in the case of illness or family emergency. Should an exception need to be made, the instructor should notify Academy staff immediately. If a participant misses class, the following steps will be taken:**


 * If 1/2 day is missed, the final grade will be lowered by one full grade.**
 * If a full day is missed, the grade will be lowered by two full grades.**
 * If more than a day is missed, the participant is welcome to complete the session, but no graduate credit will be granted.**


 * Graduate Credit Opportunities **


 * We are proud to offer graduate credit through Viterbo University. We invite you to take a look at the current graduate credit syllabus and essay/project rubrics.**
 * Credit fees are as follows:**


 * 1 credit: $130.00**
 * 2 credits: $235.00**
 * 3 credits: $325.00**

These amounts are in addition to the John Muir Academy registration fees. Please check with your district, as registration and credit fees may be paid for with district Staff Development Funds, Title I Funds, Title II Funds, NCLB Funds, or Special Education Funds.


 * Credit fees will be paid directly to Viterbo University on the first day of the Academy. Please do not send Viterbo tuition fees to the John Muir Academy!
