Cost: $10

Thank you for your interest in the Upright Citizens Brigade Training Center. We are very excited to have you begin and/or continue your training with us. The UCB Training Center is committed to the principle that our students are the heart of our organization.

We believe in every student's right to learn and practice their craft in an open, non-threatening, creative environment. In order to achieve this, we just ask that you read and agree to our Enrollment Policy before you register for class. Cool?

Age Requirement

You must be 18 years of age or older to sign up for this course. If you are 16-17 years old, you may take the course by having a Parent/Guardian contact the Training Center Manager(212.929.8107, classes@ucbt.net). If you are under the age of 16, you can not take participate in the UCB Training Program at this time.

Make-Up Policy

Due to the nature of this course, Make-ups are not available. These courses are unique and weekly instructions are geared toward the students that are officially enrolled in the particular section.

Lateness

Prompt attendance is expected from all students. Students are encouraged to make it to their class on time so that they can participate in warm-up exercises before the class begins working on performing scenes and other exercises. Arriving late requires the instructor to explain exercises and concepts again and is considered too disruptive to be allowed.

Exceptions will NOT be made. If you show up late and beg your teacher to let you in, this is even more disruptive and is considered inappropriate conduct which could result in removal from the school. (See Conduct Policy for more information). Just don\'t show up late. Cool?

Refund Policy

Refunds may be issued for courses upon student withdrawal under the following provisions:

Withdrawal from practice session 2 or more full business days prior to start, a full refund will be given. Withdrawal from practice session with less than 2 business days notice there will be no refund.

Harold Team Placement

Participation in or completion of improv courses does not guarantee placement on a UCB Theatre Harold Team.

Conduct

The UCB Training Center believes that all of our students have the right to learn and practice their craft in an open, non-threatening, creative environment. In order to achieve this environment, students are asked to agree to certain ground rules in regards to course conduct before enrolling in course. Inappropriate conduct includes, but is not limited to:

• Consumption of drugs or alcohol during class. Wanton destruction of physical class space, which includes but is not limited to walls, chairs, lights and doors.
• Inappropriate verbal, physical or sexual conduct with other students or the course instructor. Bringing uninvited guests to class.

Additionally, students are asked to help foster a creative and supportive learning environment without distractions. Students are asked to support their fellow students in class by abstaining from eating, reading or writing text messages, using cellular phones or talking while fellow classmates or teachers are talking.

Inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated and will result in suspension and removal from the course.

Refunds in the event of termination follow the same guidelines as voluntary withdrawals.
