PAYMENT POLICY FOR FALL AND SPRING SEMESTERS
Full payment is due at the time of registration, which includes a $10.00 registration fee for all enrollees, new and returning. Registration and payment must be completed (to the Community Music Program office) before a student can attend classes/lessons. Teachers do not handle registration forms or tuition payments. If necessary, a payment schedule may be arranged. In this case, there will be an additional fee of $10.00. Failure to maintain the payment schedule agreed upon will result in a $15.00 late fee for each missed payment and may result in the suspension of lessons. Suspended lessons will not be made up. Private music lesson fees are charged on a 13-week semester basis, unless otherwise noted. Music lesson fees include optional performance on recitals. Please contact the office for fees and further information.
PAYMENT POLICY FOR SUMMER SESSION

Transfer / Withdrawal / Refunds
TRANSFER
Registering students are reserving time and making commitment for an entire term
of lessons/classes. “Transfer” to another class or instructor is the recommended
method for dealing with any issues that may arise during the term. In the case
of a transfer, a $20.00 fee will be charged in addition to the $10.00 registration
fee and the cost of lesson/class weeks already expired. (NOTE ATTENDANCE
POLICY: Teachers are not obligated to make up lessons resulting from student
absence and there will be no adjustment in tuition.)
WITHDRAWAL
Registering students are reserving time and making commitment for an entire term
of lessons/classes. In the event of necessary withdrawal, refunds are
not commonly granted; and
absolutely not granted after the 5th week of the current term;
and
absolutely not if the request comes in after the end of the
term of lessons. Refunds for withdrawals will only be granted for the most serious
of reasons, and made at the sole discretion of the program director. Any withdrawal
and/or refund requests must be submitted in writing to the program director,
and if approved, will take a minimum of four weeks to be processed. In the case
of withdrawal, a $20.00 fee will be charged in addition to the $10.00 registration
fee and the cost of lesson/class weeks already expired. (NOTE ATTENDANCE
POLICY: Teachers are not obligated to make up lessons resulting from student
absence and there will be no adjustment in tuition.)
