Monthly Tuition
Tuition is posted on the 20th of the month prior (or next business day) and is due the first class of each month. A $15.00 late fee will be assessed to any tuition payments received after the 15th of the month. Autopay will run on the 1st of the month for tuition (October -May).
In your August newsletter a google form was sent in regards to June's tuition. This was also posted in the studio's group fb page. If you have not responded to the google form or if you enrolled in September or later, June's tuition will be posted 1/2 in January and the other 1/2 in April. This is due to ordering costumes and closing our season books in May.
