Covid Health and Safety Guidelines: While no longer required, Chicago Filmmakers encourages wearing masks while indoors.

Refund Policy

Since year-round classes have a strictly limited enrollment, withdrawal from a class must done be at least two weeks prior to the start of the class in order to receive a refund (minus a $25 processing fee). Withdrawals after the two-week mark will forfeit $50 of the class fee, with the balance refunded. To receive a refund (minus the processing fee), you must submit a written, dated request (email preferred) to Chicago Filmmakers at least 3 business days prior to the first class meeting. There are NO refunds or credits given less than three full business days before the class begins.

This policy does not apply to Youth Summer Camps (Scroll down for more information.)

Youth Enrollment in Adult Classes

Our courses are geared towards adults and offer a college-level curriculum. As a result of this, we typically expect our enrolled students to be 18 and older. However, in the past we have had teens and youth show interest in courses outside of our youth programs. In the event that a minor wishes to enroll in an adult course, we must be informed before the registration is complete to ensure any necessary additional paperwork is filed, as well get permission from the course instructor. The instructor for the course has final say over whether or not a minor may enroll. We offer youth courses and summer camps periodically through the year as an alternative.
