These policies support the core mission of Alliance Française de Louisville: to provide high quality French language instruction to members of the community. Our policies are consistent with best practices of other Alliance Française chapters. They reflect our nonprofit status, our small class sizes, and our responsibility to our instructors and to all of our students.

  • Adults registering for ten-week courses must be members of Alliance Française de Louisville. Membership (at student rate) may be purchased at time of registration.
  • Private lesson students, French for Travelers students, and children are not subject to the mandatory membership policy. They are nonetheless encouraged to become members of AFL.
  • Tuition must be paid before attendance at first class. Late registration will incur a $10 administrative fee.
  • Each course is offered as a whole. There is no proration—e.g., for attendance at selected class meetings.
  • Withdrawals are subject to the following refund terms:
    • A $50.00 withdrawal fee will be deducted from the amount of all refunds and tuition credits to cover our administrative costs for processing course withdrawals.
    • Students must withdraw no later than (2) two weeks before a course session begins to receive a refund of course fees only (The membership and the cost of any purchased course materials are non-refundable). Students who withdraw after this two-week period, but before the end of the second week of a 10-week course session will receive a credit equal to 75% of tuition paid after subtracting for our withdrawal fee and elapsed classes.
    • No credit for previously paid course fees will be issued after the second week of 10-week classes. For other types of courses (5-week, 3-week mini-session, summer camps or workshops) the time period for partial tuition credits will be reduced as follows: For 5 or 3 week classes before the end of the first week, for summer camps before the second day of the camp, for workshops, two business days before the scheduled class.
  • No refunds or credits can be granted for classes that a student misses.
  • AFL reserves the right to cancel a class due to insufficient enrollment (3 students minimum).
  • Classes are cancelled if JCPS has cancelled. Any missed class due to inclement weather will be rescheduled
