FEE PAYMENTS

Fees are due in advance before the first of the month.  Cheques may be post-dated for the
first of that month.  Any payment received on or after the first of the month will be subject to a
$1.25 late fee per lesson for every week that the balance remains unpaid.  For unpaid
balances after a period of four weeks, lessons will be terminated with no possibility of re-
enrolment at the Stephan Tan School of Music at any time in the future.  Alternate
arrangements may be made if there are any reasons whatsoever why fees cannot be paid on
time.

The total amount on invoices should not be adjusted by the payer for any reason.  Any
deductions due will appear on the following month's invoice.

A $20 service charge will be applied to any NSF cheque in addition to any late fees incurred
as a result.

ATTENDANCE

Lessons begin promptly on the predetermined day and time each week.  Lesson times will
not be extended for students who arrive late.  Parents who drop off their child(ren) should not
be late in picking them up.

Students who wish to reschedule lessons must give at least 24 hours notice to their teacher.  
If less notice is given, lessons may be rescheduled only at the discretion of the teacher.  The
teacher reserves the right to refuse to reschedule lessons with insufficient notice for any
reason, and also to those who habitually reschedule with or without sufficient notice.  
Exception:  Same-day notice may be given for students who are legitimately ill.

Missed lessons will not be deducted from the following month’s invoice except in case of:  1)
teacher absence; 2) inclement weather.  Invoices of future months may be adjusted if the
student has a planned vacation, provided at least two weeks notice is given.  There are no
exceptions to this policy.  Once an invoice is issued, the amount shown is the amount due.  
Any deductions due for that month will appear on the following month's invoice

Lessons may be terminated by the school for the following reasons:  1) Consistent lack of
practice by the student; 2) Failure to regularly attend lessons; 3) Fees consistently paid late;
4) Poor student behavior.

At least two weeks notice is required should you no longer wish to continue lessons.
