The AFSF is a non-profit, non political, non-discriminatory organization operated locally.

Tuition and fees must be paid in full at time of registration.

Acceptable forms of payment are check, money order (payable to Alliance Française de San Francisco), or credit card (Visa & MasterCard preferrably). When a student's employer pays course fees, an authorization letter from the employer is required.

Enrollment: Registrations are accepted in the order received until the class is declared full (maximum of 10 students online).

A minimum of six enrollments is required to open fully a class. If this quota is not met, students already enrolled in such class will be offered alternative courses,  or will be offered a reduced number of hours as follows (see table below):

6 and more enrolments: Full course duration,
5 and 4 enrolments: shortened course duration (see table below),
1 to 3 enrolments: First class duration is 1h30min  (for normal duration of 2h or 2h30min) and 1h (for normal duration of 1h30). After the first week of the session, students will be offered alternative courses, semi-private or private classes (at the semi-private or private classes rates) or a credit valid for one year (amount of the credit : price paid for the class, less the first class), or a refund.

The Alliance Française of San Francisco reserves the right to cancel courses, adjust curriculum or change teachers at any time during the session. New classes must reach a minimum enrollment of four students in order for the class to open, and a minimum of six students to be fully open.  Current classes must have a minimum of three students enrolled 24 hours prior to the start date to be maintained.

Courses are typically cancelled due to insufficient enrollment (minimum of 4 students), unavailability of an instructor, or inability to schedule appropriate instructional space. If your course is cancelled, you will be notified by telephone or e-mail and given the option to transfer, to receive a credit or to be fully refunded.

A minimum of 4 students is required to keep a class open.

Duration of the first lesson

Total number of hours of group class during the session 

For any reason of cancellation from the student, we only offer credits for a future session, applicable towards group or private classes or workshops. Refunds will not be offered. No credits for a less that 24 hour cancellation.
Class withdrawals must be made in writing, addressed to Noëmie Herail, (noemie@afsf.com), and CC afsf@afsf.com  and should include a request for a class credit with justification. 

In this specific situation a class credit, not redeemable for cash, can be issued up to the end of the sixth week of an eight-week session. This credit is valid for 1 year from the date it was issued. Any class held, whether you attended or not, before receipt of a withdrawal notice will be deducted from the credit.

Refund policy for the Workshops: Attendees can cancel their participation in the workshop 7 days before the workshop start date. Upon cancelation of the workshop, an attendee will receive a credit that is available for any other products offered by the Alliance Francaise of San Francisco and valid for 1 year from the date of the cancellation. 

Credits are not issued for membership, books, Apolearn  or Moodle platform and other instructional material.

In the case of a class cancelled by the AFSF, and only in this case, a refund may be offered.
