TUITION POLICIES
1. Tuition is due on the FIRST of each month. If tuition is not paid by the 7th, tuition will be charged to the card on file on the 8th of the month with a late fee. If no card is on file a late fee will be added and child will not be permitted to participate in class until payment is made. If tuition is not paid by the 7th of each month, A Touch of Drama reserves the right to suspend your account and not allow the student to participate in class or any other studio related activities and/or programs. I authorize A Touch Of Drama LLC to initiate tuition only debit entries against the credit card account listed on file on the account on the 8th of the month if tuition has not been paid. I understand that this is for tuition only.
2. Invoices are NOT mailed out monthly. It is the parents/students responsibility to pay tuition in a timely manner.
