NYCCC SCHOOL OF THE ARTS POLICIES as of Mar 31, 2005

Registration Procedures:

1. All students (new and returning) must submit a new registration form each semester. This is to ensure that we have your most current contact information on file in the event of an emergency.

2. Please complete your registration form and send it along with your check payment before your first class. Payment may be made in two installments, with the second payment due halfway through the semester. There will be a $10 processing fee for each installment payment. Checks with no registration form attached will delay the registration process. Please note the student’s name in the memo line on the check. Without the student’s name on the check, we cannot ensure that the student’s account will be properly credited.

3. Please provide your email address if available so we can email you class information if necessary.

Money Matters:

1. There is a non-refundable registration fee of $10 per student per semester.

2. A late fee of $15 will be charged if payment is not received within 30 days from the student’s start date. If payment is not made after that date, the student may not continue with the class (es) until the past due account is settled. If left unsettled, the student’s account will accumulate an additional $15 in late fees each month.

3. Requests for refunds, tuition credit or other issues regarding your account MUST be made in writing to be considered. This is to ensure that we have documentation on file should any dispute arise in the future.

4. Refunds will not be issued after the third class. Students who drop out of a specific class after attending three lessons are responsible for the full tuition. Those who attend two or three classes will be billed only for the classes taken. A $10 administrative fee will be charged for transfers after three classes.

5. Tuition credit must be used up by the following semester (credit transfer to another individual is permitted - there will be a $10 administrative fee. Please communicate request in writing).

6. One free trial class is permitted. However, if a student decides to enroll, that class will be included in the fee calculation.

7. Single classes are $15 each until further notice.

8. NYCCC will only provide receipts for cash payments.

9. NYCCC awards a limited number of scholarships per semester. An application needs to be submitted each semester. Students can also work in exchange for waived or reduced tuition, if approved. Please email info@chinesedance.org for Scholarship/ Work-Study application forms and policies to be sent to you.

10. If a student wishes to attend more classes than originally registered for, please visit the office to update your registration form to ensure that you will be billed correctly.

School Policies:

1. NYCCC reserves the right to cancel any class listed in our class schedule if enrollment is inadequate. If a class is cancelled and a student is unable to find an appropriate replacement class and does not want tuition credit, a refund can be arranged.

2. Students are expected to pay a nominal rental fee for costumes used in the recital, if applicable.

Code of Conduct:

1. All students taking dance classes are expected to wear proper attire (leotards and ballet slippers for girls). You may purchase leotards, ballet slippers, tights and skirts for children up to age 10 at NYCCC. Please inquire with the administrative office at 212-334-3764. Female dance students must keep hair off the face whenever possible.

2. No food is permitted in the dressing rooms. Please do not leave your personal belongings behind. NYCCC keeps a lost and found box but is not responsible for the loss of personal articles.

3. The administrative office will not accept calls for students except in the case of emergencies. We permit students to use our phones as a courtesy (financial contributions are welcomed!) but as the office only has two phone lines, we ask that you keep this to a minimum.

4. Please do not leave your child/ children unattended outside of class hours.
