NORTH COUNTY DANCEARTS
TUITION POLICIES AND RATES
North County DanceArts, Inc. is dedicated to the care and nurturing of the dedicated dance student. Tuition for classes at North County DanceArts, Inc is an annual (school year September through August) tuition policy that may be paid in full at time of student enrollment (an approximate 8% savings and no worries of late fees) or on a monthly payment system. Annual tuition is based on a tuition that is amortized over eleven months, each month averaging four weeks.
Monthly tuition payments are due before the 1st day of each calendar month. A late charge of $15.00 will be assessed after the 10th day of the month against the current tuition due and any previous outstanding balances. NORTH COUNTY DANCEARTS, INC. recognizes that some months will provide the student with five weeks of instruction for the month. These additional days afforded by the calendar year will not be charged as extra classes to the student and will be included in that month's monthly tuition. However, NORTH COUNTY DANCEARTS, INC. DOES NOT PROVIDE MAKE-UP CLASSES FOR THOSE "EXTRA" CLASSES DUE TO STUDENT NON-ATTENDANCE.
The NCDA annual tuition is a long term payment policy. Students electing to pay in monthly installments must continue to pay monthly for the remainder of the dance year scheduled payments (September through July).
North County DanceArts, Inc. does not invoice except in cases where account is delinquent. Acceptable forms of payment are cash or personal check only.
Any student wishing to discontinue dance instruction during the year may do so by notifying North County DanceArts, Inc. in writing on or before the 10th day of the calendar month and before the last quarter of the dance year, thereby releasing the student from further tuition obligations. Students shall be responsible for the balance of the annual tuition if discontinuing services in the last quarter (June-August) of our dance year. No exceptions will be made. For those students electing to discontinue dance instruction and thereby terminate the tuition contract prior to final payment (July) in any given dance year, it is assumed that the student will not be returning to NCDA for dance instruction. Any student returning to NCDA after termination of tution contract in any prior dance year, will be obligated to 'pay out' prior contract terms before enrolling in any NCDA class.
Classes may be made up within 30 days of a missed class, but may not be applied to future tuition or transferred to another student. Missed classes may be made up in any dance class of any discipline as long as the student stays within his/her dance level
(i.e.: ballet, jazz, tap and pre-dance). Since NORTH COUNTY DANCEARTS, INC.
provides a monthly tuition payment plan in an effort to provide the student the opportunity to dance at a discounted rate, we do not guarantee that make-up classes
in any one discipline will be available. It is the student's responsibility to account for
time away from dance instruction such as leaves, vacation, work schedules, etc. Tuition is non-refundable, no exceptions.
NORTH COUNTY DANCEARTS, INC. will be closed on major holidays as outlined in our brochure. Since the calendar year provides the student with a yearly total of 22-24
free classes per year, NORTH COUNTY DANCEARTS, INC. WILL NOT EXTEND TUITION CARDS OR MAKE UP CLASSES FOR CLOSURE AT THESE HOLIDAYS.
Tuition for all NEW students to NORTH COUNTY DANCEARTS, INC. will be prorated on
an individual basis as necessary. Monthly tuition will not be prorated at any other time
for any reason.
Annual Registration/Insurance fees are charged per student and are due upon initial enrollment and each year in January. Annual Registration/Insurance Fees are due in January for all students registered in classes prior to October 1st and all new students registering after January 1st.
Our weekday morning adult students may elect to pay "by the class" (only in open adult classes scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings with exception to classes that may "close"). By paying "by the class" you are not making a monthly commitment to classes and are free of the worries of "make-up" classes and studio closures. Adult students that elect to pay “by the class”for these morning open classes may not attend any other classes on a “by the class” basis. For all classes, with the exception of the adult open classes noted above, students must be “registered” and pay per North County DanceArts, Inc.’s Tuition Policies and Rates.
