School Closure Refunds

We do not offer credits for weather related school closures; however, we will make every attempt to schedule a makeup class for any missed days, including those caused by weather.

If the closure is the fault of the school and we are unable to schedule a makeup day, we will offer an option of a credit or refund for missed classes.

Late Enrollment Approval

  • Up to Two Classes Missed – Late enrollment for all class levels is automatically approved for students who have missed two classes. No official approvals are necessary. 

  • Three or More Classes Missed – For students who would like to enroll after three or more classes have been missed, they will need to be approved by the administration, which may include placement tests and a discussion with the instructor.

Late Enrollment Prorate Policy

If a student enrolls later in the term or will miss a three or more classes, our prorate policy is as follows:

  • Up to Two Classes Missed – If you have missed two classes, you will not receive a prorated enrollment cost and will pay the full tuition cost.

  • Three or More Classes Missed – If you have been approved to enroll after three or more missed classes at the beginning of the term (late enrollment), we will prorate the remaining classes in the term and the $25 registration fee will be added to the total prorated cost. If you will miss three or more classes within the term (i.e., not late enrollment but missed classes due to planned or unforseen events), we do not prorate for those missed classes, unless there is an emergency or in special approved situations.

  • All requests for late enrollment, refunds, withdrawals, etc must be made in writing by email to administration@scuola.us.
