Tuition Payment Policy
Tuition payment may be made in one of two ways. 1) Paid in full at the beginning of each quarter; 2) Paid in three equal installments due the first of each month. The Faculty will provide lessons to students whose accounts are in good standing (i.e. whose payments are not more than 5 days late). A late fee of $15.00 will be added to account s not paid by the fifth of the month or not paid within five days of the due date.
Cancellation Policy
The Musical Arts Center allows each student one make-up lesson per quarter for an excused absence. (An excused absence requires 24 hours notice prior to the absence). Instructors are not required to make up more than one missed lesson. *SAME DAY CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOWS DO NOT RECEIVE A MAKE-UP. The make-up lesson will occur on a quarterly basis, and at a time designated by the teacher. All make-ups are to be completed in the same (current) quarter in which the absence occurred. If the student is unable to make up the lesson in studio time, the value of said lesson is to be reclaimed in class time. Instructors are required to make up any lesson cancelled due to instructor's illness, or unavoidable conflict.
If the Center, Branch or Satellite location is forced to close for severe weather conditions: *the first missed lesson per school year will not be required to be made up; any additional closures due to weather will be made up in class time (see quarterly master class list). For closing information check local Channels 5, 9 or 12 or call the MAC Office.
*Same day cancellations, no shows and the 1st missed lesson due to severe weather conditions are not eligilble for tuition refunds, however, the value of said lesson can be reclaimed in class time. Your first excused absence per quarter is eligible for a make up lesson only and any additional excused absences are eligible for make up only through class time (see quarterly master class list). No tuition refunds are given for any excused absence.
Refund Policy
There is a $19.00 non-refundable registration fee paid annually for each student. Tuition is refunded in cases of illness or injury only with a physician's written statement addressed to the Musical Arts Center.
