I understand that tuition is posted/due on the 1st of each month and the card on file will be automatically processed on the 15th of the month. If card is declined, a late fee of $35 will be billed to my account. You may pay your bill before the 15th via cash, check or your card on file. If the balance is not paid 7 days after the due date, the card on file will be charged and will continue to be charged every week. A convenience fee will be applied when using an online payment method of credit card/debit card. I understand that tuition is not transferable to the preceding or following month, or to another student and that no refunds will be made for missed classes. I understand that class tuition is not for just "class time", class tuition is also for the time outside of class it takes to prepare tasks to run the business. I understand that when there are not four practices in a month, I am still expected to pay the full month of tuition. There are no refunds or makeups for weather cancellations.
