TC Maker’s motto is Make, Share, Learn. In order to best deliver on that motto, we ask that all instructors hold any scheduled classes, no matter the number of people that actually sign up to attend the class (after all, even 1 student is still 1 person that gets to learn something new). Should an instructor need to cancel a class, please email [email protected] at least 48 hours before the class.

Instructors who cancel classes less than 48 hours before the class may be refused the privilege of teaching future classes at TC Maker.

TC Maker, will by default, allow cancellations and refund of class tuition up to 7 days before the class. Please inform the Events coordinator if you want to accept refunds up to the date of the class, or if you do not want to allow refunds of class tuition for any reason.

Should an instructor choose to charge any type of fee for a class or event, TC Maker requires the collection of the fees thru a service which is managed by TC Maker (ex: Eventbrite.com).

Although we highly encourage instructors to offer free classes, or charge a nominal fee which only covers class materials for our membership, we understand that some instructors will want to charge more for their class or event. If this is the case, TC Maker requires that 25% of all tuition fees, after the cost of class materials, be donated to TC Maker for the use of the facilities. This being said, Instructors/Facilitators of classes held at TC Maker are not employees of Twin Cities Maker. Any reporting of tax responsibilities is solely the responsibility of the instructor/facilitator of the class or event.
