Late arrival / Early leave

I'm not able to arrive on time at the opening hour of the course. Could I join a bit later or during the second day of the course? 

Or: Could I leave the course earlier due to a prior commitment?  

Participation in the course requires being present from beginning to end. There is no partial participation. The reasons for this decision are: First, the registration process and the end of the course consist of plenty of technical efforts by the managers, and every late arrival complicates them. Secondly, right after registration, the managers give an opening talk in which they explain how the course will unfold - the schedule, behavior instructions in the village, guidelines, and procedures - and attending this talk is mandatory for participation in the course. Thirdly, residential courses in Tovana are conducted in silence and every late arrival or early leave of a participant disrupts that meaningful silence.

We receive many requests for late arrival or early leave, each with its rightful and understandable reasons, but for these reasons, we are unable to comply with them. If you know that you won't be able to meet these terms, please cancel your registration for the course. You're welcome to see the other listed courses in order to find one better suited for your schedule in which you'll be able to participate from beginning to end.
