  • Cancellation Policies to Remember

 

All cancellations require a minimum of 24 hours notice (you must contact your instructor directly; be sure to have up-to-date contact information). In order to support the best learning environment for students and respect the time of our professional instructors, no more than two credits may be carried over from one semester to another.

  • In order to begin lessons, you must choose a payment option in advance. You can either pay for the fall semester in full or choose a monthly payment plan prior to the beginning of the semester. If you choose a monthly payment plan, you MUST place a credit card on file with ACTIVE that will be run on the dates specified (most semesters have multiple options for payment plans).
    **NOTE that if you take advantage of discounted pricing by choosing a school year payment option (lump sum or monthly) there is a CANCELLATION FEE for discontinuing lessons of $125 PLUS 4 weeks notice, as described below.
    **Students who wish to discontinue lessons for any reason must give a minimum of four week's notice. You will be responsible for payment of the final four weeks, regardless of whether the student takes the lessons or not. If you have prepaid the semester, you will receive a pro-rated refund for unused lessons above and beyond the four week's notice. If you are paying monthly, then your credit card will be charged for only the remaining four weeks. NOTE that because classes are enrollment based, there are no refunds or credits for students dropping out of group classes. The CANCELLATION FEE applies only to students paying on a school-year plan and is IN ADDITION TO the four-week cancellation notice.
    **Due to feedback from families and in an effort to make our billing process more efficient, we will not bill in arrears, nor will we create monthly invoices, nor will we accept monthly payments by check (Note that full semester payments may still be made by check). Extra costs such as books and accompanying fees will be applied at the end of the semester. Books and accompanying are not included in your tuition.
    **All lesson cancellations continue to require a minimum of 24 hours notice. A makeup week is provided at the end of the semester to make up missed lessons. Note that no only 2 credits per student per instructor may be carried over from one semester to the next. Because classes are enrollment based, there are no refunds or credits for students who miss group classes.

    Limited tuition assistance is available to qualifying families. Email assistance@parlando.org for more information.
