Refund, CANCELLATION, and MAKE-UP PolicIES

There are no refunds on deposits paid. There are no refunds for missed classes. Due to the nature of group lessons, there are no rescheduled (make-up) or separate classes given for students who miss the regular weekly class (this can be likened to a college course).


WITHDRAWL
If you need to officially withdraw your child from the Guitar Band program due to an unforeseen medical, family, or emergency situation within the first 2 weeks of the start of a new Guitar Band semester*, then I will give you a prorated refund for any lessons that have not yet been taken. The prorated refund is 50% of the total cost of the remainder of lessons still left to be taken in the semester. If you withdraw your child after the first 2 weeks, no refund will be given.

*the 2 weeks is counted from the day the first Guitar Band lesson is given of a new semester.

UNFORESEEN CANCELLATION OF CLASS
If there is an unforeseen early release, holiday, severe weather event, or school-wide after school event that affects all the grades in a particular Guitar Band** that is declared or happens after a semester has already started so that Guitar Band is unable to meet that particular day and must be cancelled, then Mr. Withrow will make up that cancelled lesson day in the same semester if possible, or if that’s not possible, he will refund the cost of the cancelled lesson by the semester’s end.

** a Guitar Band lesson will not be made up or refunded for any conflicting after school events, field trips, practices, games, competitions, or the like that do not affect all grades within that particular school. For example, in a Guitar Band class for 3rd-5th graders, if the 5th grade has an out of town field trip which prevents 5th graders from coming to a Guitar Band class, that class will not be made up or refunded for 5th grade students since it only affected one grade and not all the grades at the school.
