Enrolment and Refund Policy

 

Enrolment Criteria

• Acceptance of the philosophy, values and practices of the School, as described on this website,
• demonstration of one’s preference for creativity,
• demonstration of the ability to collaborate with and support others in their projects and socialise within a co-creative culture, and
• proof of identity and age of18+ for the online community only.

To enrol in the School, Creatives must have a social media profile preferably with Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or YouTube, or if not, a profile on another platform, so we can verify identity and age. Creatives are asked to provide a link to one of these in the application form. The School won’t request any contact via those platforms unless with express permission, for example, to promote a Creative’s projects and development.

The School uses two ways to contact applicants and participants… via email, or if enrolled, via direct message from Jane’s social profile within the School to their social profile within the School.

Once enrolled,

• agreement and adherance to the School’s Community Agreement,
• creation of a social profile within the School, with external links to personal and professional profiles and websites with no offensive content,
• participation in Creatology Classes live or at one’s own pace when available as a evergreen course from 2026, and optional (and included in the cost) Project Prods, Enterprise Eggs, PoP-Up Topics, and the Creatopia Podcast, either live, or at one’s own pace, and
• authentic and honest use of project-progress logs.

The Creatology Award

The Creatology Award is an optional award and it has no additional costs.

Not all participants will seek to complete the requirements for the Award and therefore, not graduate with it.

The Creatology Award is a certificate awarded to participants for

• demonstrating mastery of creativity knowledge, and
• demonstrating mastery of your creative capacities and creative practices.

To qualify for the Creatology Award, participants must:

• enrol in and complete the full Creatology Curriculum
• submit the Satisfaction of Life Scale prior to beginning,
• receive and provide collaborative support on a project,
• create a project that demonstrates your advancing creativity either as an individual creative or with others in the group

and upon completion:

• submit an updated Satisfaction of Life Scale, and
• present your project and a self-evaluation at an online Presentation Ceremony. It is held three weeks after the last class to ensure participants have the time to complete their self-evaluations and projects, and prepare their 10 minute presentation of these.

Remaining in Creatopia after completing Creatology

Please stay in Creatopia as an Alumni after you’ve finished Creatology!

It’s free for a lifetime.

Creatopia is a village that will always be offering PoP-Up Topics, Project Prods, Enterprise Eggs, and the Creatopia panels,
so if you’d like to:
• continue learning and growing and building your profile, creative networks and relationships, and projects etc,
• collaborate with others on your future project ideas or theirs, or even
• offer your projects to those within Creatopia to benefit from (it is a village after all),
you are more than welcome to stay on after you complete Creatology or graduate with the Award.
