Huronia Arts Academy Registration Policies 

Registrations

It is our school policy that registrations will not be accepted if past or current fees are outstanding. 

Registration and payment of tuition will be accepted only after all outstanding amounts are settled. Any credits due to the student will be mailed at the end of June.

Lesson time will not be confirmed until registration is complete (forms competed and ALL post dated cheques or credit card authorizations are received). 

The Huronia Arts Academy accepts registrations for individual lessons throughout the academic year subject to the availability of the instructor.  In most cases where these lessons are begun after the beginning of September, fees are prorated according to the number of remaining lessons. 

Registrations for class lessons are dependent on the nature of the class and the availability of space. 

Payment Options

Cheque

Please make cheques payable to:  Huronia Arts Academy. 

All NSF cheques will be charged back a $25 NSF fee for each cheque plus any financial institution fees.

NSF cheques must be corrected with 15 days of the first of the month, or the student will be suspended.

Credit Card

The Academy is pleased to accept MasterCard and Visa as payment options.  We do not  process debit card payments or direct withdrawal payments at this time. Denied credit card payments must be corrected within 15 days of the first of the month, or the student will be suspended.

Post-Dated Payments

10 post-dated cheques or credit card payments are required for the year Sept 1st to June 1st. Cheques are our preferred payment form, but Visa and MasterCard are also accepted. 

***STUDENTS ARE NOT REGISTERED, AND SO NOT ABLE TO TAKE CLASSES UNTIL ALL 10 CHEQUES ARE IN THE OFFICE.***

Group Programs

Fees for group programs are due in full September 1st, or the first day of the program.  If the program fee is more than $150, the payment can be split into two payments postdated September 1st and February 1st.  Registration is NOT complete until both cheques are received.  Group program fees are non-refundable.

Cancellation Policy 

Students withdrawing from private lessons must notify their instructor and the office 4 WEEKS before they withdraw (balance of payments will be returned).  Students may attend the last four weeks lessons after providing notification of withdrawal.  Withdrawals/refunds are not accepted after April 15th.   

Student Absences

Regular and punctual attendance at lessons is essential.  When a student registers, they are effectively reserving the teacher’s time for the duration of the school year.  When a student is absent without notice the teachers time has still been used and must be paid for.  If notice has been given the day of the lesson, it's up to the istructor's discretion whether a make-up lesson or lesson credit will be offered.  Group lesson fees are based on a group enrollment and there will be no refund if lessons are missed by individual participants.

Teacher Absences

When an instructor is absent, with or without notice, the student’s lessons must be made up, or the student will receive a refund in June.

Discontinuation

The Academy reserves the right to discontinue the lessons of any student who is consistently late or absent.

Touch Policy

Teachers and instructors are permitted to use proper touch techniques in trying to help students develop proper form, posture and breathing pratices.  Upon enrolling in the Huronia Arts Academy, the student accepts this as proper practice.

Custody

It is imperative that we know the details regarding custody issues.  Please ensure that any provisions are detailed on the refistration form for your child, and discuss any options for students to be picked up with the appropriate intructor.
