Questions?
In what format are the classes presented?
We use yahoo groups to present our classes. After you sign up an E-vite is sent to you email. You accept the E-vite to join the group and set up your membership (individual email is recommended). After you have set up your membership all classes and class communications are sent to your email.
When will I receive my E-vite?
E-vites are typically issued two days before class begins.
What do I do if I am having a problem with my E-vite?
Contact Kimberly at academe@thebeaumonde.com to request assistance.
What do I do if I do not receive an E-vite?
If you registered prior to the beginning of class and did not receive an E-vite within the above-mentioned time frame, first check your SPAM folder to ensure it was not incorrectly routed there. If there is no E-vite in your SPAM folder, please contact academe@thebeaumonde.com to request another E-vite to be sent.
Will late registration delay joining the class?
Registrations and payment confirmation can take up to 48 hours to process. We try our best to reduce this time frame, but strongly encourage participants to register a minimum of 4 days prior to the class start date.
If I miss a class or a post can I retrieve it?
All classes can be accessed on the Yahoo Group site.
