Registration and Tuition
I agree to abide by the guidelines of the student handbook. I agree to pay the non-refundable registration fee of $35.00 per student and the designated tuition rate a month for classes. Tuition rate is determined by the number of hours taken (displayed on the studio website). I understand payments received after the 5th of the month will incur a $30 late fee. I also understand that I am responsible for legal and/or 33.3% collection fee that will be added if payment is not submitted.The office retains the right to access a $35.00 fee for any and all returned checks
Student Handbook
I have read and agree to abide by all terms and conditions within the Student Handbook. (Performance information does NOT apply to the summer session)
Class Placement
I understand that all students are placed according to their physical facility, talent, and ability to apply and retain all technical corrections. During class placement/registration, new students will be given a tentative evaluation class schedule. All new students' schedules will be finalized during their initial classes. The "tentative schedule" sheet must be given to the teacher before each recommended class begins, and at the end of class the teacher will return the sheet to the student with the teacher's decision on the most appropriate class for the student. This schedule must be presented in every class the student is evaluated in. The student may be asked to return to a different class for evaluation at no charge. After the student's evaluation classes have been completed and he/she has all teacher initials for recommended classes, the new student will need to confirm that our schedule will work for his/her schedule and register online via the studio website at www.denisewall.com. Once the student is registered online he/she must return the evaluation sheet to the main office during regular office hours, read the student handbook, and complete the student handbook signature page upon registering for classes with the office staff.
Student/Parent Info & Email Notices
I agree to update all personal information via the parent portal, if my information changes during the year.
I understand that the D.W.D.E. office staff communicates via email and will send out email notifications in reference to class/studio information including: account statements, class cancelations/make-up dates/adjusted schedules, master classes (Winter/Spring Intensives), yearly performance info, etc.
Withdrawal Policy
I have read and understand the terms in which I must follow in order to successfully withdraw from D.W.D.E. I realize that if I do not follow the guidelines listed in the handbook; withdraw will not be acknowledged by D.W.D.E. and the account will continue to be billed each month. (The student withdraw form can be found under the "policies" link on the studio's website).
