Due to costs incurred prior to class, we can only accept substitutions within two weeks of your scheduled school. If you are unable to attend or find a substitute, you can request class materials including the workbook.

Most schools have varying agendas so splitting schools is highly discouraged. If you cannot attend both days of a school, contact Jeff (lewis.1459@osu.edu). There will be a $50 split-school fee for anyone who attends day 1 and 2 at different locations.
