Refund Policy and Withdrawals
To withdraw from a course and receive financial credit, a student must submit a written withdrawal request to the Community School of the Arts Office. Notice to the instructor is not sufficient. Non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal, and no deduction will be made for temporary absence from a class or lesson.
CSA’s refund policy is based on the assumption that a student has paid the fee in full prior to the date of withdrawal. Registration is based on a semester long commitment (i.e., the number of lessons indicated on the registration form). Therefore, any outstanding fee payment is not waived if withdrawal occurs before the balance is paid.
Because of contractual obligations for instruction and other services at the start of the semester,
a minimum $25 withdrawal fee will be assessed at the time of withdrawal and the remaining fee refunded based on the following schedule:
For 6-week or longer classes, withdrawals made...
- prior to
the first lesson/class, 100% refund (less $25 withdrawal fee);
- prior to
the second lesson/class, 90% refund (less $25 withdrawal fee);
- prior to
the third lesson/class, 75% refund (less $25 withdrawal fee);
- prior to
the fourth lesson/class, 50% refund (less $25 withdrawal fee);
- after the
fourth lesson/class, no refunds.
*For all Summer School of the Arts programs, special workshops or festivals, there are no refunds for withdrawals made after 7 days before the start of the Summer School of the Arts program, workshop, or festival. Summer School of the Arts programs require a $100 deposit at the time of registration. Deposits are non-refundable after 2 weeks prior to the start date.
CSA Makeup Policy
Instructors are
not obligated to make up private lessons missed by students.
Please be sure to ask your teacher about his/her policy regarding
missed lessons. Lessons missed by the instructor will be made
up.
Financial Aid
Assistance, generally for 10-30% of fee, is available to music and art students in need. Student sponsorships in certain programs may be available. Summer financial aid forms must be received by June 15; Fall forms by September 1; and Spring forms by January 5. Call the CSA Office, at 860-486-1073, for a financial aid application or additional information. When you register, please consider adding an additional amount for the scholarship fund.
