(currently, this monthly option is only available to Piano Classes and Private Lessons with the exclusion of Suzuki Violin.)
Description and Benefits: Registering for 3 semesters each year (Fall, Spring, Summer) is time consuming and wasteful. Moving to the month to month method essentially takes us off the semester system. This keeps money in your account longer (no up front payment of the entire semester.) It also means no long-term contracts, no more registration fees, and you can withdraw at any time with appropriate notice.
Monthly Automatic Payments: When you register initially for the month to month, the Academy sets up an automatic withdrawal from your credit card on the first of each month. The monthly tuition amount is the same each month. It reflects the average number of teaching weeks per month overall. The Academy does not alter monthly tuition due to differing number of weeks.
Withdrawal and Stop Autopay: There are no long term or semester contracts. You may withdraw whenever you choose. However! No partial month refund or adjustments will be issued. 30 days notice is required BEFORE the next Autopay scheduled date. (Example: You would need to notify the office through a call or email before May 1st in order to have payments canceled beginning June 1. The month of May would be your final month.)
First Payment and Ongoing: The first payment is for the first month of lessons and is due with registration. Automatic payments begin on the second month of lessons/classes. The first payment total may be different from following months due to adjustments (i.e. One-time Registration Fee, prorating for starting mid month, etc.) All future monthly auto payments are for tuition amounts only. No more fees.
Spring and Summer 2019 Private Students: If you choose this monthly option, your first payment will be with your registration (for September) and subsequent payments will be begin October 1st, 2019.
Confirmation: At the end of the checkout process, you will be asked to confirm that The Academy is authorized to automatically charge your card for the correct amount on the first of each month. Using the Registration Cart (www.register.theAcademyOfFineArts.com), by entering your credit card number and submitting it you are providing authorization to automatically charge your card on the first of each month in accordance with these policies. (NOTE! The Registration Cart only lists full semester tuition. If you would like to use the cart anyway, make sure to state that in the final box. We will consider your shopping cart submission and statement as confirmation and will set the payments up accordingly.)
Declined Card Fee: We allow one declined card transaction. With subsequent declined card transactions, a $30 declined card fee will be charged automatically. Thank you for keeping your card up to date.
Withdraw and Restart: If a withdrawal notice is received (see above), the student is able to attend any and all lessons/classes up to the end of the last paid month. Beginning the next week, that slot is considered available to other students. Unfortunately, we cannot hold an unpaid slot.
To restart lessons/classes, students will need to re-register.
