Billing and Cancellations (new)

In CampDoc you will be given the option to either pay in full for the year or to do a payment plan. The price works out to roughly the same as you have been paying but days off are now factored in. 
We are requiring 2 weeks written notice to cancel and/or refund payments. 
Example- 
Gymnast is in BC1 Saturday 9am and has chosen to pay $810 for the year (this is for 31 Saturday classes). On December 27th, we received a written notice that you wish to discontinue. This means that the cancellation will be effective on January 10th. There are 18 classes left. We will refund the card on file for $470.32 (810/31 x 18).
Make-ups-
We will still provide make-ups if currently enrolled and space is available. Please arrange for make-ups by emailing gbgym@berkeley.edu. We thank everyone in advance for their patience as we transition to a new system.
