Tuition/Return Payments
Tuition is due on the 1st of each month. Students who are registered and enrolled are automatically transferred to the next month’s class roster (please see “Dropping from the Program” for details regarding un-enrolling). If tuition is not received by the 7th of the month, a $10.00 late fee is incurred. Any accounts that remain delinquent going into the next month will result in automatic removal from the program. Shenandoah Tumblers, Inc. cannot be responsible for tuition payments late due to the US Postal System or any other service. All accounts that exceed 30-days delinquent will be billed an additional 5% of the total balance each month until the account is paid in full. Payments need to be made ON TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS. Once your account is paid in full, pending availability, you are welcome to return to your current class. A $25.00 service charge will be imposed on all payments that are returned from our bank for non-payment.
*Monthly tuition rates are calculated to include scheduled holiday and calendar closures. Tuition is NOT pro-rated, and no make-up classes are permitted due to a scheduled holiday or calendar closure. Your monthly tuition covers one class per week; whether there are 3, 4, or 5 classes in that month, the cost stays the same.
Forced Closure Tuition
-
NO refunds or credits on tuition will be provided for the remainder of any month during which Shenandoah Tumblers, Inc. is forced to close.
-
Should a continuous shutdown extend into another month, Shenandoah Tumblers, Inc. will NOT process tuition.
-
Should the shutdown extend into additional months, NO tuition will be collected until we can reopen, at which time your tuition amount will be pro-rated. There are NO make-up classes or credit offered for missed or cancelled practices.
Discounts
If you have more than one child enrolled, each additional child will receive a 10% discount off of their monthly tuition. This discount is applied to the lesser amount. If you are enrolled in more than one class, each additional class will receive a 10% discount. This discount is applied to the lesser amount.
Make-Up Classes
NO credits or refunds are given for classes not attended. Make-Up classes are available for students who have missed their weekly class due to ILLNESS, EMERGENCIES, and UNEXPECTED GYM CLOSURES (inclement weather). Make-up classes are NOT for scheduled gym closures (holidays). Make-up classes are NOT for missed classes due to other sports or non-emergency related events. Make-up classes MUST be scheduled within TWO-WEEKS from the missed class. If you miss your scheduled make-up class, you will NOT be able to reschedule.
