Families are responsible for reviewing registration confirmations and verifying that their dancer is enrolled in the correct season, session, program, and classes.
Before Classes Begin
Before the applicable season or session begins, families may request to drop a class, transfer into another available class, or correct a registration made for the wrong season, session, or program. Tuition already paid for an eligible dropped class may be transferred to another available class or issued as a credit to the family's NAOD account.
Registration fees and other designated non-refundable fees are not eligible for credit. All class changes are subject to availability, age/level requirements, studio approval, and applicable tuition differences.
Class Transfers After Classes Begin
All class transfer requests must be submitted through the NAOD Class Transfer Form. Submitting a request does not guarantee placement in the requested class.
Families may request complimentary class transfers through August 31 for the Fall Semester and January 31 for the Spring Semester. Effective September 21, 2026, approved Fall Semester class transfers are subject to a non-refundable $15 transfer fee. Beginning with the Spring Semester, families may request complimentary class transfers through January 31, 2027. Transfers requested after January 31 are subject to the $15 transfer fee.
Beginning with the 2027–28 season, complimentary transfer periods will end August 31 for the Fall Semester and January 31 for the Spring Semester.
Once a transfer is completed, the student's previous class placement is released and cannot be guaranteed if the family later requests to return.
Transfers requested after production casting, costume ordering, or other applicable program deadlines may be restricted or denied.
Dropping an Individual Class After Classes Begin
Students enrolled in multiple classes may request to drop an individual class without fully withdrawing from NAOD.
Once classes have begun, tuition already paid or due for the current tuition installment is non-refundable and non-creditable. No prorated tuition, refund, or account credit will be issued as a result of dropping an individual class.
Any applicable change to the student's tuition will take effect with the next scheduled tuition installment, based on the student's remaining enrollment.
Dropping a class releases the student's space. Re-enrollment is subject to current availability.
Performance & Other Fees
Dropping or transferring a class does not cancel or refund costume, concert, competition, or other fees that have already become non-refundable under NAOD's applicable deadlines. If a new class requires additional fees, the family is responsible for those charges.
Registration Errors & Account Credits
Registration errors must be reported before the applicable season or session begins to qualify for a tuition transfer or account credit. Non-attendance does not constitute withdrawal and does not cancel future tuition obligations.
When NAOD approves a tuition credit, the credit is applied to the family account rather than an individual student. Approved account credits may be used toward eligible tuition or program charges for another sibling on the same family account, may not be transferred to another family or household, have no cash value, and may not be applied toward designated non-refundable fees. Any expiration date or special restriction will be communicated when the credit is issued.
