Tuition Policy
Jun 20, 2026 11:18 PM
TMDC reserves the right to run your card for any overdue/outstanding balances.
1. Tuition Due Dates
Tuition is due on the 25th of each month for the following month. (example: August 25th is the due date for September tuition)
Accounts are considered late after the 1st of the month.
2. Late Fees
A $10 late fee is automatically added to any account not paid by the due date and each week thereafter.
3. Auto-Pay Requirement
All families must keep an active card on file.
Declined payments will result in a $25 failed payment fee.
4. Communication Attempts
Before an account is escalated to collections, the studio will make:
1 email reminder
1 text or phone call
1 final notice (email)
No response or payment after these attempts moves the account into the next step to collections.
5. Suspension of Participation
If an account becomes more than 14 days past due: the dancer may be temporarily removed from class, may not participate in rehearsals, performances, competitions, team events, or private lessons until the balance is paid.
6. Collections Threshold
If an account remains unpaid after 90 days, the account will be sent to an external collections agency. A $50 administrative fee will be added to cover processing and collections transfer costs.
7. No Refunds / No Credits
Once tuition is charged, no refunds or credits are issued for missed classes, withdrawals, or dropped enrollment, whether voluntary or due to non-payment.
8. Payment Plans
Payment plans may be offered only before an account becomes delinquent. Once an account is past due, payment plans are no longer available.
9. Returned or Disputed Payments
Returned payments incur a $25 fee.
Chargebacks/disputed payments will result in an immediate account hold until resolved.
10. Responsibility
Parents/guardians are responsible for: ensuring payment information is up to date, monitoring monthly invoices, responding promptly to communication about overdue balances
11. No Prorating
Tuition is billed on a monthly basis and is not prorated for missed classes, absences, holidays, or withdrawals. Once tuition is due, the full monthly amount remains payable regardless of attendance or mid-month withdrawal. This policy applies to all students without exception.
12. TM Dance Complex reserves the right to increase the tuition prices at any time.
