  • Drop Procedure 

    Students may drop from a course or lessons only during the Open Enrollment Period: July 1-September 12* (*Open Enrollment for Monday classes ends on September 15).  

    The parent/student must complete the online Drop Request Form to drop out of a class, ensemble, or private lesson. The form should be completed in a timely manner once the parent/student decides to withdraw. Students will only be eligible for a credit and/or refund if the request is submitted during the Open Enrollment Period.  

    Under no circumstances will tuition be retroactively refunded or credited.

    The student is eligible for a 100% refund of tuition if the form was submitted prior to the first scheduled class, rehearsal, and/or lesson. The start date for classes and ensembles is listed on the registration website, and the start date for private lessons must be established by the student and instructor prior to registering. Drop requests following the third week of the class, rehearsal, and/or lesson will only be honored pending the School’s approval.  

    Students who enroll in private lessons outside of the Open Enrollment Period are not eligible for refunds or credits in the event of a drop.  

    Informing an instructor of a decision to withdraw, stopping payment, or not attending class does not constitute a withdrawal.  

    Exceptional requests for refunds due to a family or medical emergency may be made in writing to the School within 14 days of the missed class and must include appropriate documentation. Requests must be sent to the Community School office via email at cspa@colburnschool.edu. There is no guarantee that a credit or refund will be approved due to a family or medical emergency.  

    Teacher Absence Policies 

    • If a teacher is absent from a scheduled lesson, a make-up lesson shall be scheduled at a mutually convenient time, or during one of the scheduled make-up weeks in January and May. 
    • If the student misses a make-up lesson, there will be no second make-up opportunity. 
    • In cases of sudden illness or unexpected leave on the part of the teacher, the School shall make every reasonable attempt to supply an appropriate substitute or make-up class/rehearsal. If teacher reassignment is necessary, the School does not guarantee that a student will receive or be placed with an instructor of their choice.

    Student Absence Policies 

    • There are no make-up lessons for student absences. 
    • The School requests students to notify faculty of anticipated absences as a courtesy to the faculty members; however, this does not exempt the student from payment as contracted. 
    • Like other professional services, Colburn’s faculty reserves a specific day of the week and time slot in their weekly schedule for each student’s lesson which is unable to be filled in the event of an absence. For this reason, Colburn does not provide refunds or make-up lessons for student absences which include, but are not limited to travel, school events, and illness.  

    Payments 

    • Deferred payment plans will remain in effect until tuition is paid in full. Dropping a class, ensemble, or private lesson does not guarantee cancellation of remaining payments.
