Fee and Refund Policy:

• The $40 Support Group Fee needs to be paid by April 24th if your family plans to register for classes. If you are currently a Support Group Member only and you do not pay the $40 fee by April 24th, we will assume you no longer wish to be a support group member and will deactivate your account. You can reactivate any time by paying the $40 fee.
• The $120 co op fee must be paid by May 15th. This fee is to cover our rent and insurance and must be paid in full by the deadline. If not paid by May 15th, your class registrations will be cancelled. 
• Class fees are due July 30th. All fees associated with your classes must be paid by the deadline or your child will not be able to attend classes.
• If for any reason you are unable to pay fees in full by the deadlines stated, you must contact XXXXXX before fees are due to set up a payment plan.
  

Refunds of fees for the year will be granted based on the following schedule for the co-op:  
(All requests for reimbursements will be returned via check requisition from Under the Son Academy.  If a payment was made online, refunds will be reduced by 2.2% + .30/transaction)  

If a book is ordered through your students teacher, you will not be reimbursed for this book.  The book and invoice will be given to you and you can choose to keep it or return it to the company it came from.  (You may incur a shelving fee)

• Our support group fee of $40 is non-refundable 

• Cancellations/Refund Requests made up to 4 weeks prior to the Co-op start date will receive 100% refund of fees paid.
• Cancellations/Refund Requests made prior to 2 weeks prior to the Co-op start date will receive 50% refund of fees.
• Requests made 2 weeks or less prior to the co-op start date will be subject to no refund of fees paid.

Each family attending the co-op shall hand in a $100 responsibilities bond in the form of a check to be held in reserve for each semester. The check shall be made out to Under the son Academy with no date and Bond written in the memo.  This check will  be handed in at the Mandatory Meeting.  Below are samples of when a bond must be cashed. 

• Frequent tardiness - An admin will speak with you after 2 instances of tardiness.  After discussing the nature of the tardiness, it will be determined if a warning is in order.  If a warning is given, the check will be cashed at the next occurrence of tardiness.  You will be notified, and a new check will be required.
  
  
• Frequent Absences - 2 unexcused absences will be allowed per semester.  Examples of unexcused absences are things such as vacation, non-emergency doctor's appointment, work, going on field trips, etc. 
  
  
• Failure to fulfill duty - These duties include things such as clean-up, snack table, lunch monitor, gym monitor, etc.  If you need to miss any of these due to vacation and such, you are responsible to find a replacement.  If you have a planned absence, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. 
  
  
• Failure to fill out absentee form - Sending an email/text to an admin or a teacher of your absence is not a replacement for filling out the absentee form. 
  
  
• Failure to pay in full for Private Lessons/Outside teachers.  We allow a monthly payment plan to help your finances but you are committed to paying for the full year as the outside teachers have blocked out this time for your student.

For the checks not cashed, Under the Son Academy will shred them at the end of the year.  If a check must be cashed during the year, another check must be given in its place.
