GENERAL BILLING POLICIES
Class prices vary depending on type of individual package and calendar entry point, whether Promotional, Single, Privates, Professional, Year-Round member.
Note: SOCAL ARTS is a year-based curriculum school. The vast majority of our students are in this payment plan. The Year Round Program is our preferred payment model and we strongly encourage every new student to become a member.
- If a reason outside of our and the student’s control requires a student to take time to decide on entering the year program, a nominal one-time registration fee will be charged when the student takes the first class at single class pricing, immediately following the end of the promotional period. Should a student proceed to join the Year Round Program within the first month from the first single rate class, the registration fee will refunded.
Note: Every student past the promotional period is subject to a registration fee.
- For our members, the Year Round Pricing is a yearly amount consisting in a down payment plus twelve even payments.
For the Year Round annual agreement students have the choice to set up a monthly payment or pay the amount in full for further discounts. - There is no opt-out option for the annual agreement. A 30-day notice is required for all changes or cancelations due to medical reasons or financial hardship. Refunds will be reasonably negotiated for those students who paid in advanced.
