Schauer Community School of the Arts
Policies
If registering for more than one class or enrolling more than one family member in a session, you are eligible for a 10% discount. Participants must pay the FULL tuition fee for the class with the highest tuition and are then entitled to a 10% discount on additional tuitions. Special exception: One-day workshops under $40 are not subject to 10% multiple class/sibling discounts.
Registration Fee Policy
A registration fee of $10 per student, per semester applies when enrolling in CSA programs 14 days prior to program’s start date. A $15 LATE registration fee per student, per semester applies when enrolling less than 14 days prior to program’s start date. Registration fee does not apply for programs with a tuition fee of $40 or less. Maximum of four registration fees per family during any given semester. This fee is non-refundable except in cases where the class is cancelled. “Friends” of the Schauer Center are exempt from registration fees.
*NEW* Residents living within the boundaries of the West Bend School District are also exempt from a registration fee due to support from the West Bend Community Foundation.
Deadline for Registration
It is suggested that students register at least two weeks prior to the start date for any given program. A deadline of one week must be adhered to. Enrollment levels are evaluated at this time and class will be cancelled if minimum enrollment isn’t met.
Refund Policy
Notification of withdrawal and request for refunds must be submitted in writing to the Schauer Center. A 50% refund of the tuition in the form of a gift certificate will be in effect through the second class/rehearsal. After the second class, NO REFUNDS will be offered.
Payment Plans
Payment plans may be arranged for any class with a tuition fee of $100 or more. However, a minimum of 1/4 of the tuition fee must be paid prior to the start of the first class/rehearsal. Payment plans must be paid with a credit or debit card. An arrangement application must be completed and turned into the Schauer Center prior to the first day of class.
Class Size
All CSA classes carry a minimum/maximum class size condition that determines if the class will be offered. Classes not meeting the minimum enrollment level will not be offered. Maximum levels are determined by classroom space or instructor/student ratios.
Student Absences
Classes or rehearsals missed by a student due to illness, scheduling conflicts or any other reason are not guaranteed a make-up class. Please notify the Schauer Center if you or your child will be missing class and to discuss available make-up options.
Teacher Absence
If a teacher is unable to teach a class/rehearsal, the Schauer Center reserves the right to have a qualified professional substitute teach the class or reschedule the class/rehearsal. In either case all students would be informed of the change.
Student Drop Off & Pick-up
All students under the age of 12 must be brought in and picked up from the classroom. We ask for your cooperation in this matter, as it is for the safety of your children. All students age of 12 and older should be dropped off in the front circle.
Waiting Area Policy
Due to the numerous activities, event set-up, and valuable artwork on display, the Schauer Center prohibits parents from waiting in the Gallery (second floor) after dropping children off for class. If a parent chooses to stay on premises for the duration of a class, the Schauer Center requests that parents wait on the lower lobby level.
If you have other children with you while you wait, we ask that you please bring something to keep them occupied for the duration of the class. If your child is running throughout the building, you will be asked to leave. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Winter Weather Conditions
If the weather is questionable, please call the Schauer Center to inquire about cancellations or listen to WTKM (AM 1540 and 104.9 FM) for up-to-date information about classes affected by the weather. Weekdays, when Hartford schools close due to weather conditions, Schauer CSA programs will also be cancelled for that day. Classes and programs will be rescheduled at the discretion of the instructor.
