Policies and Procedures for Families
ENROLLMENT:
The NSSOTA enrollment process is that once a student is enrolled into the studio, a designated time slot is assigned to the student. The weekly slot is held through regular tuition payments.
LEARNING SUPPLIES:
Instructors may request that students purchase supplies and materials. Furthermore, many supplies are available online and through Amazon.
ACCOUNT SET UP:
Once your online enrollment is complete, you will receive an email with instructions on how to set up your student account. The studio accepts two forms of payment:
- ACH
- Credit Card
TUITION:
Tuition is billed on the first day of each month at a flat rate, based on 4 lessons monthly. The student’s first month will be prorated accordingly. Accounts are not charged at a higher rate in the event that there are 5 lessons in a month, and accounts are not charged at a lower rate in the event that there are only 3 lessons (during a holiday) in a month.
LATE PAY POLICY:
If tuition payment is not able to be drafted by the FIFTH day of each month, a ten dollar late charge will be assessed.
PUNCTUALITY:
The appointed lesson time has been reserved for the student each week. We LOVE our students and every minute counts, but please understand that we cannot “steal” time from another student or teacher in the case of tardiness. Lessons must stay on schedule, so please be punctual since we are committed to providing the scheduled amount of lesson time.
MEDIA RELEASE:
COMMUNICATION:
Please understand that we do all we can to help you feel well informed via email, text message, etc. However, a failure to read studio communication that has been sent to the communication platforms you have provided to us does not nullify adherence to studio policies. To ensure steady business operations, policies will be enforced at all times.
STAY CONNECTED:
The Administrative Department is available at ma**@ns****.com to assist you with any questions you may have regarding studio policies, tuition fee schedule, billing, payment method, etc. Questions regarding scheduling can be directed to ma**@ns****.com. Questions regarding learning material, or inquiries pertaining to instruction may be handled between the instructor and/or Owner, Heather Parks.
MISSED PRIVATE LESSONS OR GROUP CLASSES:
- Cancellations with less than 24-hour notice will not qualify for a reschedule, which includes being sick the day of a scheduled lesson.
