Missed Lessons and Classes
Students are charged for all lessons and classes for which they register, including those missed through student absence.
Music Lessons
Missed by the student will not be rescheduled. The instructor, at registration, reserves a segment of time each week for the student. As a courtesy, students who must miss a lesson should notify the instructor as far in advance as possible.
To contact your instructor, call the FSPA Office at 810-238-1350 ext. 3. Your message will be forwarded to the instructor. Faculty extensions are also listed in Faculty Directory.
If the student needs to miss a normally scheduled lesson due to a religious holiday, the student should notify the music lesson instructor at least two weeks in advance or at the beginning of the term. The instructor will make every effort to reschedule that lesson.
Music classes
Missed by the student will not be rescheduled. If a class is canceled due to instructor absence a makeup class may be scheduled. There will be no refund for rescheduled classes missed by the student.
Student Withdrawal
All tuition will be refunded if notification is given before the first lesson or class. Refunds for cancellation after the opening of each term or semester will be made as follows:
