After expressing interest in a class or classes:

  • You will be emailed an invoice.
  • You will be placed on a Wait List until payment is received.
  • Note: being placed on a Wait List does not guarantee a seat in class.

When Moviola has received payment for your classes:

  • You will be automatically and officially enrolled into the class.
  • A confirmation email will be sent to you.
  • Additional confirmation phone calls and emails will also occur as your class date approaches.

  • Being placed on a wait list does not guarantee a seat in class.
  • Moviola has a first paid, first enrolled policy. The only way to guarantee a seat in a class is to remit payment.
  • Moviola accepts payment in the form of cash, check or credit card.
  • All major credit cards are accepted.
  • You may pay with a credit card by phone, by fax, by mail or in person.
  • If you are mailing a check for payment, please take into consideration the mailing time so that you are not at risk of losing your seat in class.
