Alcoholic Beverage Policy
Certain classes may serve alcoholic beverages. Attendees may be asked to provide proof that they meet New York State drinking age requirements. Attendees are expected to demonstrate reasonable judgement in their consumption of alcohol. Pregnant women, people who will be driving, and people on certain medications should not consume alcohol. Attendees may not bring outside alcohol to class.
Cellular Phone Policy
Cellular phones are considered disruptive to the atmosphere of the class and must be placed on "vibrate" during the class. If necessary you must leave the class / kitchen in order to conduct conversations on your cell phone.
WITHDRAWING FROM A COURSE BEFORE IT HAS STARTED
You may withdraw from a course for any reason up until ten days before the class start date. You will receive a full refund, less the $10 nonrefundable Registration Fee, or you may switch your registration to another course by calling 212-255-4141. Should you withdraw from a course during the time period from nine days to three days before the class start date, you will receive a school credit. You may switch your registration to another course by calling 212-255-4141.
No withdrawals are accepted two days or less before class start date.

Please note that all course withdrawals have to be received in writing by the dates listed above. You can fax in a withdrawal request to 212-366-0975, or e-mail admin@culinarycenterny.com.
We cannot accept withdrawals by telephone or on our website.
WITHDRAWING FROM A COURSE ONCE IT HAS BEGUN
You may withdraw from a course once it has begun, if there are extenuating circumstances. You must attend the first meeting of the course. If you withdraw anytime after the first meeting of the course, your refund will be pro-rated for the number of classes you have attended, less a Transaction Fee of 10% of the total course tuition, and the $10 nonrefundable Registration Fee. Rather than apply for a refund, we encourage you to make-up any session you have missed the next time the course is offered (see Make-Up Policy below).
MAKE-UP POLICY
If there are extenuating circumstances for missing a class, Culinary Center of New York makes every effort to allow a make-up session the next time the class is offered space permitting.
If you have missed a class session, you must inform the Culinary Arts office, in writing, as to why you were unable to attend. We must receive this information within two weeks of your having missed the course. Fax information to 212-366-0975, or e-mail admin@culinarycenterny.com. If we agree that your reasons for missing the original class are valid, you will be informed of the next opportunity to make-up your class space permitting. One week prior to the date of the make-up class, you must call us at 212-255-4141 to ascertain whether we can accommodate you.
Make-up sessions are not transferable to any other semester. If you know in advance that you are going to miss a session of a course, you might consider sending someone in your place.
WHEN WE CANCEL COURSES
Culinary Center of New York reserves the right to cancel any course due to insufficient enrollment, adjust curriculum, or change instructors. When a course is cancelled, you will be notified by phone or e-mail. You may choose to transfer your registration to another course, or request a full refund.
