Policies and Procedures

This agreement is between Maui Academy of Performing Arts (MAPA) and the undersigned. Payment is due in full or by pre-arranged payment plan at signing. Any class changes thereafter, including classes added and/or dropped, will be subject to a $25.00 change fee, per change.

Refunds will be given during the first four (4) weeks only, minus charges for classes taken up to the date of notification and minus the $25.00 per class change. NO CREDITS OR REFUNDS will be given for classes dropped after the fourth week.

A $35.00 fee will be assessed for all returned checks. If an injury necessitates missing classes for two weeks or more, accounts may be frozen and credited for one semester upon submission of a physician’s note.

The registration fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. MAPA teachers have the discretionary authority to redirect a student to another class ($25.00 change fee does not apply), or to remove a student if a disciplinary issue arises.

Your agreement to these Policies and Procedures gives permission to MAPA to use any photo(s) taken of the student(s) being registered with the agreement, in promotional material including, but not limited to, brochures, publications or advertising. I understand there will be no monetary compensation for the publication of these photos and that these photos are the property of MAPA.

I hereby authorize the Maui Academy of Performing Arts (MAPA), it’s employees and authorized volunteers to refer the following registered student(s), to the named physician and/or medical group when the designated emergency contact cannot be reached. If no family physician is designated, MAPA, it’s employees, teachers and authorized volunteers will select a physician when deemed necessary.

I understand that I am voluntarily executing this waiver and that it shall relieve MAPA, it’s employees, teachers and authorized volunteers from all liability for damages, including but not limited to bodily injuries and property damage. This waiver excludes damages resulting from gross negligence or lack of due care on the part of the said entities for injuries to myself or my child.

All students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, unless a class is designated as an audition class. Dance students must reach the entry age of their dance class by November 30th for the Fall semester and by April 1st for the Spring semester.

Class Observation Policy: Parents are invited to observe the first class of each month. Viewing classes at all other times is only allowed with advance permission of the instructor or during an invited sharing. Please leave cell phones, food and drink outside all classrooms.

Discounts: A 5% discount is offered on all tuition rates if a student or a family of students registers for 5 or more classes. Members receive a 10% discount on all tuition rates if tuition and fees are paid in full by the early discount deadline date. (Sum''R Moving & Shaking classes are not eligible for discounts.)

Deadlines: All registration forms that are mailed or faxed must be postmarked or received by the deadline date specified for a specific semester in order to receive the 10% early discount.

Exact cash or check made payable to MAPA. Teachers do not make change. Rates are not negotiable. (Dance and Drama prices are subject to change without notice.)

Drop or Change of Classes: Students may change classes - with written approval or direction of the Dance Director.

Credits or refunds will be given during the first two months only, less a handling fee of 20% of the tuition being refunded or credited. NO CREDITS OR REFUNDS will be given for classes dropped after the second month.

Make Up Classes: Missed classes may be made up during the current semester ONLY. Make up classes must be the same type of class (i.e. Ballet II makes up in ballet class - not in Jazz or any other type of class.)

MAPA teachers have the discretionary authority to redirect a student to another class or to remove a student if a disciplinary issue arises.

Payment Procedures: We appreciate the effort that everyone makes to be responsible about their tuition payments. Due to the growth in enrollment we need to institute policies to protect our organization and to ensure timely payments. Payment for classes is due in full, or by a pre-arranged payment plan.

Payment plan fee: $25, covers tuition ONLY, and requires a customer''s initials on the registration form. All fees (membership, materials, costume, and payment plan) must be paid with the first tuition payment. Any change to a payment plan may require a new agreement.

An interest rate of 1.5% per month or 18% per annum will be added at the end of each month if there is an outstanding balance. When using the payment plan, this fee is waived unless the agreed upon payment is not received by the specified date.

Statements will be mailed out the 1st of each month. Payments are due by the 20th day of each month except for the initial month which is due upon registration.

Membership: NON-REFUNDABLE
