1) Payment of the semester fee must be made prior to the student's first lesson of the semester.
2) Only one make-up lesson for private lessons missed for illness will be allowed per semester. Make-up lessons for illness are scheduled during the week following the end of the semester. Any other make-ups must be arranged with the instructor and only with their permission.
3) Teacher cancellations will be made up during the semester at a convenient time for both the teacher and the student. Merit Music has the right to provide a substitute in order to avoid cancellation.
4) Once missed, make-ups can not be rescheduled.
5) All students are enrolled for an entire semester or the balance of the semester when entering late.
6) Semester tuition is non-refundable excepting in cases such as a student's prolonged illness or change of residence out of the area. This will take effect from the date of notification.
7) Merit Music has the right to cancel lessons if payment is past due.
