There is one free trial class for new students. Students taking single classes or drop-in classes pay the single-class rate of $18.00. © 2014 CIARA DANCE: 21250 CALIFA STREET, STE. 105A, WOODLAND HILLS, CA 91367 818.888.7744 | info@ciaradance.com www.ciaradance.com 4 TUITION POLICIES 2014/2015 Tuition is based on yearly amount divided into 10 monthly installments. The yearly fee is pro-rated over 10 months regardless of number of classes in a month. Yearly tuition students pay this amount. Single class rates apply to all others. December and June are shortened months that are offset by months with 5 classes in them. To maintain your status as a yearly tuition student, all months in the term are due from your first enrollment month to the end of the term. All yearly tuition students are subject to the yearly tuition policy. Yearly tuition students benefit from the multiple discount, as the monthly fees are less than single class fees. These fees are constant despite the number of lessons in a month. Because of these discounts each month must be paid in full, unless the student formally withdraws from the program. If you miss a month of payments for any reason you will lose your status as a yearly tuition student. If you return to classes you will be charged the single class rate for the remainder of the term. To reinstate the yearly tuition any missed month/s and a $30.00 reinstatement fee will be applied. Please bare in mind we do not charge for months with 5 classes and you receive a lower rate than single class rate, you gain this benefit by adhering to the yearly policy. To withdraw, written notice must be received on or before the 22nd of the current month informing the studio of your intention to withdraw in the next month. Tuition is due on the 22nd of each month in advance. Payments received after the 7th of the current month are late and will incur a $15.00 late fee. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Pro-ration is available only for the first month when enrolling at the single class rate of $18.00. Make-up lessons are allowed when there is an excused absence (you are required to call prior to the missed lesson). Make-ups must be taken within four weeks of the absence when available. Make-up privileges expire after 4 weeks. No refunds, credits, extensions, or pro-rations will be given for any reason including vacations, holidays, illness or otherwise. Please do not ask to be the exception to this policy, which we apply fairly to all. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
