Remote program policies
Policies
These policies are part of enrollment and apply to all sessions. Questions? Email lucas@sim2realacademy.com.
Scheduling
- The core program is live, remote, and runs for 8 weeks (8 sessions, 60 minutes each).
- In-home flight add-ons are 60 minutes each and scheduled separately (Midtown/Atlanta).
- Scheduling shifts can be coordinated by email (ET).
- Confirm your weekly slot: book via Calendly (payment confirms your slot).
- Zoom link is provided after your weekly time is confirmed.
Cancellations & refunds
- Full refund before Session 1: cancel before attending Session 1 for a full refund (payment processing fees may be non-refundable).
- Prorated after Session 1: after Session 1, refunds are prorated based on sessions attended (at the per-session rate for your offer).
- Late cancel: reschedule/cancel requests within 24 hours of session start are considered a late cancel.
- No-show: if the student does not join within 10 minutes of start time and we don’t receive a message beforehand.
- Rescheduling: we try to accommodate reschedules with 24+ hours notice. Make-up sessions are not guaranteed.
- Tech issues: if Zoom/lab issues are on our side, we’ll reschedule or credit the session. If issues are on the student side, we’ll try to help troubleshoot and provide a make-up assignment if needed.
- To cancel or request a refund, email lucas@sim2realacademy.com.
Privacy / data handling
- Data minimization: we collect only what’s needed to run class (typically: email, scheduling info, and enrollment records).
- Vendors: Stripe (payments), Zoom (live sessions), Cloudflare (secure tunnel).
- Roster: your email is used to provision your workstation account and identify your session.
- No sale: we do not sell personal information.
- Deletion requests: request data deletion at lucas@sim2realacademy.com.
For minors, a parent/guardian should be the point of contact and may manage the account email used for enrollment.
