Tuition & Attendance Policy
Class tuition is heavily reduced while we are in zoom. We're back in the theatre in September.
- Tuition- due before the 1st class of the month.
- You may pay via PayPal: link: kaustintuition
- Our agreement is: full tuition is due the first class of the month. Full tuition is due the first class each month even if you are absent. Tuition is not deducted for absences.
- Tuition when we are back in person will be $180 in the three class months and $240 in the four class months. There will be a TBD monthly covid compliance fee which will be added to the tuition- When we are in the theatre, payments after the 1st class of the month incur a $20 late fee.
- Entering students make an initial 3 month commitment, tuition paid monthly. Subsequent
commitment is month to month.
When a member withdraws, they may re-enter study any time (if there is a seat open). When re-entering study, it's best to commit to at least three months (individual circumstances apply).
- In person classes; there are a limited number of seats for auditors who observe but do not perform. Auditing is appropriate for writers, directors and those actors waiting for a member seat. You may not switch between performing and auditing seats once you have become a performing member. Auditor seats are on a monthly basis- tuition due the first class of the month. Currently, I am assessing a policy for 'quarantine' auditors.
- VISITORS If you are observing class in your search for a creative home, there is no charge for your visit.
Attendance Policy
- The class size is limited- your tuition holds your seat.
- Tuition is not refunded for missed classes. A missed class cannot be credited forward.
- A missed credit can be exchanged for a 1/2 hour of private audition coaching: either 1/2 hour over the phone or you can combine two missed classes for a face to face or for partial coaching payment. The credit is good only in the calendar year of the absence. Honor system - you keep track of your missed classes.
- Credit may also be used for ice cold sessions if you pair with another member who has credit.
- If I must cancel a class, it will be credited to the next month.
- When you withdraw, your seat will given to a wait listed actor. If the roster is full when you request to re-enter, you may audit till a seat opens.
- Returning members have priority over new students.
- If you must miss a class, let me know why. Stay in touch with the community.
