Group classes, workshops, ensembles: NO refund.
If a class or summer program is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, full tuition and registration fee (if applicable) will be refunded.
Accounts with outstanding balances of over 10 working days will be charged a late payment fee of $25. Delinquent accounts referred for collection will be liable for all collection fees and costs.
