FEE POLICY AND DISCLOSURES

FEE DUE AT ENROLLMENT: 

Security Deposit – $120 (Refundable with one month notice of discontinuance*). 

Registration fee – $20 (Payable beginning of every academic year**)

*This notice of discontinuance must be given to us in writing by filling out a withdrawal form. Verbal notice does not count for one month’s notice.

**For this current academic year, registration fee is waived (if already paid earlier) for continuing students.

FEE TIERS AND PRICING PER MONTH:

Fee for Level 1 of every discipline is fixed. For higher levels, there is a $10 increase in fee per each level, capped at a reasonable price. This capped fee is different for different disciplines such as Music, Dance and instrument playing.

Monthly fee is based on one class per week. Each class will be 45 min long. Our school will also be off during Fall break, Spring break, Thanksgiving, Winter break and major long weekends. Fee is never prorated for missed lessons. Please read over makeover lessons policy.

FEE SCHEDULE:

Our fee is collected monthly, payable at the beginning of every month. 

MODE OF PAYMENT:

All fees are collected by automatic debit from your Bank Account set up on autopay. Once you enter ACH credentials, you give permission to Gitanjali Music and Dance Academy to charge monthly fees as per our fee schedule on a recurring basis. Once you give us written notice of discontinuance, we will stop recurring payments from our end.

We do not process Credit or Debit card Payments. At this time, we do not accept any manual payments including check and cash.

LATE FEE: 

Fee is due by the 5th of each month, post which a late fee of $20 applies. 

Decline Fee of $35 and additional fees charged by our bank is also payable incase payment is returned. We will help you with initial setup. Once initial setup is done, decline fee policy kicks in.

 “MAKEOVER CLASS POLICY” – AND – “NO FEE PRORATED POLICY”:

Makeover lessons are offered only when we are informed about absence at least 24 hours ahead of class time. 

Please send email / update using our portal app (available for download once registration process is complete) to notify absence. For classes missed without notice of 24 hours, no makeover lessons are offered.

Fees for missed classes are NOT prorated. We allow a maximum of one makeover class every 2 months.

One week advance notice is mandatory for extended absence. For extended vacations or travel abroad, you have the option to makeover lessons (more than one makeover for 2 months is allowed in this case)

1. virtually (during your travel) or 

2. by joining the same level batch at our other locations or, by joining a virtual learning batch (after you are back from vacation).

Rest assured, our instructors will not be able to move forward and teach following lessons without teaching the student those lessons that they missed. We are here to take care of our students’ learning even though they are not able to completely attend makeover lessons. For the same reason, FEE IS NEVER PRORATED.

UN-ENROLLMENT / DISCONTINUANCE:

If you decide to discontinue our program for any reason, a written notice must be submitted by filling out a withdrawal form. Verbal notice does not count for one month’s notice. Once you give us written notice of discontinuance, we will stop recurring payments from our end. We will refund prorated remainder of the monthly fees (calculated from the time we receive your written notice of discontinuance). This is a very transparent and easy process. However, we do need one month’s notice of discontinuance to get a full refund of the security deposit. Monthly fee is payable until written discontinuance notice is submitted to the school.
