Tuition and Policies

REGISTRATION FEE (10 Month Session)

There is a $40.00 registration fee per family, for the 10 month session only. The registration fee is due the first week of the Fall 10-month session. If the registration fee is not paid on time students may be removed from the class roll and placed on the wait list.

TUITION (10 Month Session)

Tuition is due on the student’s first class of the month.  Monthly fees are based on the number of hours of class. The class fee is $60.00 per month per class.  There is a 10% discount for students that take multiple classes or for families with multiple students.  Fees are posted automatically through our on-line registration system.  Also, you should receive a confirmation email when you register which shows the class which you are registered for.  You may view the fees and class schedule any time by visiting our website at www.forestgrovedancearts.com and clicking on the “Customer Login/Registration” tab at the top of the page. Then, enter your email and password and click on the “Fees & Payments” tab or the “My Classes” tab. 

Tuition fees are always the same each month whether there are three, four, or five classes in a month.  It is a monthly rate.  Therefore, in the case of holidays, there are no refunds, credits, or discounts.  This also means there is no extra charge for a five-week month.  If tuition is not paid by the third class of the month, students may be asked not to participate in class until the tuition along with the $5.00 late fee is paid. If tuition is not paid by the forth class of the month, all discounts will be lost and the late fee will still apply. Students with outstanding balances from previous sessions are not eligible to register for the upcoming session until past due balances are paid in full.  There will be a $25.00 charge added to your account for any check that is returned to the studio.

SUMMER TUITION FEES (6 week session and intensives)

One-half of the summer tuition is due within two weeks of your online registration. The per-class fee for the 7 week summer session is $90.00. The fees for the 4 day or one day summer intensives are based on the number of hours of instruction. Summer tuition fees are refundable if you let us know at least two weeks prior to the start of the first class. The summer schedule which is posted on-line lists the fees per class. There is a 10% discount for students that take multiple classes or for families with multiple students. When you register online you will receive a confirmation of the classes that you registered for and the fees. If one-half of the tuition is not paid on time (within two weeks of registering) students may be removed from the class roll and placed on the wait list. Contact the studio if you need to make arrangements for a different payment schedule. We will be as flexible as possible. Summer session fees will be charged in full to credit card on file on July 5th.
