EVENING CLASSES
Terms at Whitecliffe run over a seven week period, but evening courses consist of six classes which run from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. on Tuesday to Thursday evenings. Each class will therefore have a one week break in the fourth week of classes when Whitecliffe Undergraduate Workshops are held. If a class needs to be cancelled, it will run on the next available day or by arrangement between the tutor and students.
DAY & WEEKEND WORKSHOPS
The Whitecliffe Short Course programme includes a range of Day Classes and Weekend Workshops which are scheduled during the mid semester break and during term holidays. Classes are not designed as a school holiday programme however, mature school students who are aged 14 or over may enrol. The Weekend Workshops are either over a full weekend or are on consecutive Saturdays, enabling students who are not able to attend in the evenings the opportunity to enjoy classes at Whitecliffe. All Day classes will run from 9.30 a.m. - 4 p.m.
CANCELLATION
If a course is cancelled by Whitecliffe you will be advised and your course fee will be refunded. This may occur at short notice if the minimum number of participants has not been reached.
