Financial Policies

The basic cost for the school term may be paid by semester, by the below payment plan, or by a specified payment plan laid out between the payee and the financial officer. If a specific payment plan is required, please speak with the financial officer before the first payment laid out in the payment plan below. Payments may be made by cash, check, money order, credit/debit card, or automatic withdrawal. Any bounced or returned check will be charged the appropriate bank fees. Please note that we are unable to accept postdated checks or to hold checks.

PAYMENT TERMS FOR CONSERVATORY STUDENTS

Midterm or final exams may not be taken unless a student’s account is completely up to date. Students paying their accounts more than 9 days late will be charged a $15.00 late fee. Student’s accounts must be paid up to date before returning for another school year. Graduating students will not be allowed to walk for graduation if their account is not up to date even if a payment plan is in place. Again, all payment plans should be worked out before the first payment is due to make sure the account is paid in full before the end of the year.
