Drop/Withdraw Procedure
The drop request will be reviewed by the Program Manager and the Dean upon submission of this form. All refunds and credits must be approved by the Dean. There is no guarantee that a full refund and/or credit will be granted.
The student is eligible for a 100% refund of tuition if the form was submitted prior to the first day of the semester*. Following the start of the semester, students may be eligible for the following:
· During the first week of class: refund up to 75%
· During the second week of class: refund up to 50%
· During the third week of class: refund up to 25%
· Following the third week of class, there are NO REFUNDS
*NOTE: The first day of the semester for year-long enrollments corresponds to the beginning of the fall semester. The first day of the semester for single-semester classes (Early Childhood and Adult Classes) corresponds to the start date of the respective semester. Drop requests for year-long enrollments following the third week of the fall semester will only be honored pending the Dean’s approval. These terms also apply to private lessons.
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 Dean within 14 days of the missed class and must include appropriate documentation. There is no guarantee that a full refund will be approved due to a family or medical emergency.
Payments
Deferred payment plans will remain in effect until tuition is paid in full. Withdrawing from a class does not guarantee cancellation of remaining payments. Cancellation of remaining payments is subject to the Dean’s approval.
