TUITION AND PAYMENT POLICY

At Prestige Arts, tuition is based on annual enrollment and is divided into equal monthly payments for your convenience. Your monthly tuition reserves your dancer's place in class throughout the season.

 

Tuition is based on enrollment, not the number of classes held in a particular month. Some months may include holidays, scheduled studio closures, or a different number of class meetings due to the calendar. Because tuition is averaged over the entire dance season, monthly tuition remains the same each month and is not prorated based on the number of classes offered.

 

Monthly Tuition

 

  • Tuition is due on the 1st of each month.

  • AutoPay is required for all monthly tuition accounts.

  • Tuition will be automatically charged to the payment method on file on the 1st of each month.

  • If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, payments may be processed on the next business day.

​

Payment Methods & Processing Fees

 

  • Credit Card Payments: A 3% processing fee will be added to each transaction.

  • ACH/Bank Account Payments: A 1% processing fee will be added to each transaction.

 

Late Payments

 

  • Payments not received by the 4th of the month will be assessed a $50 late fee.

  • Payments not successfully received by the 8th of the month will be assessed an additional $25 late fee.

  • If payment is not received by week 3, the dancer may be asked to sit & observed in class.

  • Any outstanding balance must be paid promptly to avoid additional collection efforts or restrictions on participation.

​

  • Failed or Declined Payments

    • If an AutoPay transaction is declined for any reason, it is the account holder's responsibility to update the payment method immediately. Any applicable late fees will still apply if payment is not received by the due date.


 

Tuition is not prorated, refunded, or credited for:

 

  • Missed classes

  • Vacations

  • Illness

  • School activities

  • Holidays and scheduled studio closures

  • Weather-related closures

 

When available, dancers are encouraged to attend a make-up class for missed classes.

 

Withdrawals

 

Tuition will continue to be charged until a completed Class Withdrawal Form has been submitted and processed according to the Prestige Arts Withdrawal Policy. Simply discontinuing attendance or notifying an instructor does not constitute withdrawal.

 

Outstanding Balances

 

Prestige Arts reserves the right to:

 

  • Withhold costumes, recital materials, competition packets, awards, or other studio items until the account is current.

  • Restrict participation in performances, competitions, special events, or recital until all financial obligations have been met.

  • Pursue collection of unpaid balances when necessary.
