COMMITMENT & ATTENDANCE
The study of Performing Arts requires commitment and a love for the respective art. In most of our courses, students are required to make a full year's commitment, as the program is progressive and depends on weekly development and assessment. Therefore, our attendance requirements are as follows, with exceptions for valid medical reasons:
Session A - more than 2 missed classes and the student will be withdrawn from the course. No refund will be issued.
Session B - more than 2 missed classes and the student will be withdrawn from the course. No refund will be issued.
Full Year Courses - more than 4 missed classes and the student will be withdrawn from the course. No refund will be issued.
Missed classes: Lessons cancelled by the instructor will be made up during the teaching session, or at the end of the season. Make up classes will not be provided for student cancellations in any private or group program.
During the first two weeks student abilities are still being assessed, therefore some students may be transferred to another course at a more appropriate level. Final placement and/or acceptance of students will be done by the instructor.
WITHDRAWALS/CANCELLATIONS
You may withdraw from a course and receive a refund up to 4 business days before the start date of the program. 10% administrative charge (of the program fee) will apply. (Minimum $10, unless otherwise specified). You may withdraw from a course within 3 business days of program start but no later than the second class. A 20% administrative fee (minimum $20) will be charged. A credit to the JCC will be offered, but NO REFUNDS at this stage. No refunds, credits, or make-up classes after the second class or for missed sessions, unless full withdrawal is necessary for a documented medical reason. There is a $12 charge for this service. Transfers between programs will be allowed subject to space, instructor availability and approval. There is a $10 service charge for this service.
BEHAVIOUR AND DRESS CODE
We expect all students to treat their classmates and instructors with respect, to show up on time for all classes and to wear clothing appropriate to the course of study. Any student deemed by the instructor to be behaving in a manner that is destructive to the class, will be dismissed from the course with no refund for fees.
Expectations: Participants studying in one class for 1 to 1.5 hours per week are essentially studying at a recreational level. Students wishing to study at a more intensive level should plan to enroll in more than one class per discipline.
Dress Code: At the time of registration dance students will receive information about appropriate wear for their classes. No jewelry, gum or snacks permitted in any class. Dance students must keep their hair off their neck and out of the eyes. Theatre students must wear comfortable clothing and shoes appropriate for movement based exercises.
Participants understand and agree that classes may be photographed/videotaped. The School reserves the right to use photos/videos for program publicity.
PAYMENT OF FEES
Fees must be paid in full at the time of registration or payment plans must be in place. No spots will be held or reserved without a deposit. Full year session payments may be divided in 3-6 installments, through credit or debit card payment plan only. GST is applied to adult registrants.
Please note new guidelines to help ensure the safety of your child:
Children under 12 should not be left unsupervised before or after programs. The JCCGV is not responsible for children left unattended before programs start or after they have finished. Parents/guardians are responsible for supervising their children.
