Ace Makerspace reserves the right to cancel class for any reason including low enrollment or instructor illness. If class is canceled we will contact you via email and issue a full refund. Depending on course availability, you may also have the option to transfer your ticket to a future class.
We do not offer credits, transfers, or refunds for student cancellations. You can offer your ticket for sale to others in the comments or on slack. You are solely responsible for those transactions & letting us know who is taking your spot.
Arriving on time to class is very important.
For certification classes we are unable to accommodate late arrivals. If you arrive more than 10 minutes past the start time you will be unable to attend that day and your class fee is forfeit. For non-certification classes, your ability to participate will be based on instructor discretion.
Ace Makerspace workshops where classes are taking place are closed for member use for the duration of that class. Exceptions will be made either directly in the event description or on a case by case basis at the discretion of the instructor. If you have a question about whether or not you can access the space during class time please message the instructor or post on slack.
Quiet Dibs
Loud tools like the planer and tools that require use of the cyclone dust collection system can disrupt classes in other workspaces. When an instructor requests “quiet dibs” for their class it means that some tool use will be limited during that time. Check slack when planning your time to see if an instructor has requested “quiet dibs.”
The Planning Calendar
The Ace Planning Calendar is an internal tool used for scheduling events and space use with partners and teams. It is not an accurate reflection of confirmed and finalized events. Please use the calendar above as your source of truth.
