Terms and Conditions
Since tuition payment is set up on a bi-annual and annual payment structure, the convenience of a 2-Part “optional” Payment plan is offered to parents whom may need to have a payment plan within each cycle. The 2-Part Payment Plan is defined as a “Tuition Deposit“ and a “Tuition Fee”. This structure applies to tuition ONLY.
(i) 65% and 75% of the Total Cost of Tuition is considered a “Tuition Deposit”.
(ii) 35% and 25% of the Total Cost of Tuition is considered a “Tuition Fee”.
New Students - The first payment - 65% of total invoice is required upon receipt of invoice to complete and secure your enrollment. This is a non-refundable “Tuition Deposit”, which is applied to tuition. The second payment balance of 35% must be made within 2 weeks prior to the student’s beginning of classes. This is also non-refundable and is considered as a “Tuition Fee”. Please note that payment of ‘FULL TUITION’ is also accepted.
Returning Students - have the option to pay 75% of total invoice on receipt of invoice. This is a non-refundable “Tuition Deposit.” The balance [25%] must be paid within the next 3 weeks following receipt of the “Tuition Deposit”.
IMPORTANT:
• Tuition does not include charges for textbooks, Federation Audition and Membership; Guild Audition and Membership, or RHSM Annual Dues. Audition fees vary by grade level and will be charged only if the student is on pace to audition. See itemized details of estimated fees and charges [Click to download PDF version]. Note: many of these fees do not apply to all students.
• Tuition is non-transferable and cannot be applied to the account of another enrolled student.
• Tuition can be deferred [with prior written notice] and can only be held for one billing cycle, after which tuition will be forfeited.
• Tuition will be forfeited when student withdrawal is made in the midst of teaching any given teaching cycle.
