Tuition & Fees

Ox-Bow offers a unique, alternative learning and social experience. The fees reflect the cost of caring for our campus and supporting the faculty who make our programs possible. Your payment helps sustain the space, resources, and people that create the Ox-Bow experience.

The tuition listed does not include any lab fees associated with the course. Please check the course listings for those details.

An essential part of Ox-Bow is getting to know its domestic architecture, sharing meals, and living amongst fellow students, faculty, and staff. Room and board fees cover more than just your cozy 6- or 13-night stay. At Ox-Bow, the kitchen is the heart of campus and aims to provide all participants with three restorative, sustainable, and healthy meals per day. The team uses locally sourced ingredients as much as possible and can adapt to any dietary restriction. Meal plans are included in the room and board fee.

Room and board costs are available in two tiers to accommodate those who would prefer a single room. Single rooms are limited, so we encourage those interested to register quickly.

Payment Information: Payment should be processed by credit or debit card via the Ox-Bow registration form. Payment is due at the time of registration and is non-refundable.

Drop Policy

Ox-Bow enrollments are non-refundable. Students who drop their enrollment from the time of registration until two weeks before the class will be issued a credit to be used within the same calendar year of the original transaction that can be used for any registration, event, rental, or retail item at Ox-Bow. If a student drops within two weeks of the start date of their class, no credits will be given.

Students who register for an Ox-Bow class assume the risk that they may need to leave Ox-Bow due to illnesses or other personal issues and are encouraged to consider insurance options. Ox-Bow does not provide refunds for students who leave campus prior to the completion of their course for any reason.

Ox-Bow is dedicated to providing students with the experience described in the catalog, but cannot guarantee the listed faculty. In the rare event that a faculty member cannot instruct their class due to an emergency, a replacement of similar expertise will be provided. Faculty replacement does not make a student eligible for a refund.

Ox-Bow reserves the right to adapt this drop policy after the publication of the catalog, per evolving guidelines and recommendations.
