All overdue fees must be paid before a student can be registered for a new session of classes. Class fees must be paid in full or a Payment Agreement signed by the end of the 3rd week of each term for a student to be able to attend classes. Any fees for optional activities, such as Nutcracker, trial, drop-in or master classes, exams, assessments or exam preparation classes, are due at the time of commitment to such activity. Bursary applicants must pay all applicable non-class fees such as the Administration Fee and Skirt Rental, Let’s Dance Festival performance fees, and for optional activities such as Nutcracker and exams, and any portion of class fees not covered by the bursary.
Refund Policy
There are no refunds of fees after the student’s third week of classes in each term. A request for refund must be submitted in writing. The deposit of $150.00 is non-refundable and will be deducted from any refund, unless a class has been cancelled by the School. Parents or guardians who wish to withdraw their child at the end of the first term, or reduce or change classes for her/him in the second term, must notify the School in writing by Jan 31, 2010. A fee of $25.00 will be charged for refunds or class changes that affect fees.
Please Note: If an early payment discount has been applied, and the parent or guardian later requests a reduction of class hours or withdrawal, the discount will be reversed and charged to the parent.
Missed or Cancelled Classes
Students who miss a class because of injury or illness can make up the class within the same term. Make-up classes should be at a comparable level and the student should inform the teacher at the beginning of the class that he or she is doing a make-up class. Should the School have to cancel a class due to teacher illness or extreme weather, the class(es) will either be rescheduled or students will be asked to make up the classes missed. There are no refunds for missed classes, but if a student is unable to continue the term due to a serious injury, an exception may be granted with the permission of the Artistic Director, in which case the refund will be based on pro-rated class fees for the balance of the term and will exclude the non-refundable deposit of $150.00.
NSF Cheques
A service charge of $30 will be charge for returned (NSF) cheques or PADs (pre-authorized debits).
Late Fees
Overdue accounts will be assessed interest charges of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) after 30 days. |
