If a registrant fails to attend without notification, or if a withdrawal occurs on or after a program start date, full tuition will be forfeited.

If SIT Programming School cancels a program due to any reason, registered participants will be permitted to apply their registration to another program or receive a full refund.

Advance Preparation: Any advance preparation to be completed prior to attending the program, such as pre-readings or technical requirements, will be provided to you prior to the start of the course provided that tuition has been paid in full.

Our technical recommendations for all our programs are:

Computer: PC (Windows XP or later) or Mac (OSX 10.7 or later) with at least a 2GHz processor and 2GB of RAM (4GB of RAM is recommended).
Internet: Broadband internet with at least 1.2Mbps download and 600Kbps upload speeds.
Webcam: Either external or built-in (many laptops have an integrated camera).
Microphone and Speakers: We recommend headphones with a built-in microphone. But any microphone and speakers will work fine in a quiet room.
