  1. Registration must be completed and tuition must be paid, either in full or 1st installment, prior to any student’s entrance into class.
  2. There is a non-refundable $25.00 annual processing fee due with the first payment, per student, which will automatically be applied to the account.

Tuition Payment:

  1. Upon registration all students and their parents/legal guardians make the commitment to pay the agreed upon full year’s tuition whether they remain enrolled in the program or not. Tuition is non-refundable except in the case of a serious illness or injury documented by a doctor’s explanation.
  2. The School of Richmond Ballet tuition is set at affordable, competitive rates. Students enrolled for the year can pay their tuition in full at the time of registration, or in four installments. The first installment is due at the time of registration. Those who choose to pay in installments will receive invoices for subsequent payments, unless a request is made for automatic billing by credit card as listed on the registration form. Selecting the installment payment option does not lessen the legal commitment to pay the full year’s tuition. The installment payment schedule is as follows:

2nd Payment – Due November 1, 2017

3rd Payment – Due February 1, 2018

Fee(s) and Delinquent Accounts:

  2. A $25.00 late fee, per student, will be imposed on the day after a due date and on the first of each month for as long as your account is not current.
  3. Should this account become delinquent and collection becomes necessary, the undersigned agrees to be additionally responsible for attorney’s fees of 33 1/3% of total delinquent balance and all applicable court costs incurred by the School of Richmond Ballet during the process.
