ALL accounts will be required to have a credit/debit card on file. The card will be charged for tuition on the first of each month. No other form of payment will be accepted for monthly tuition.

Monthly tuition is based on an average of four classes per month. No charge is made when the fifth lesson occurs; however, the studio reserves the right to use these extra classes to offset classes not held due to holidays. The monthly fee remains the same each month regardless of the number of classes in that month.
CLASS & PRODUCTION POLICIES
Tuition: Tuition is due on the 1st of each month. Tuition that is not received by the 7th of the month will be subject to a $25 late fee.
Absences: If a student misses more than three performance classes in a semester, the student’s eligibility to participate in the final performance is at the instructor’s discretion. In extreme cases the instructor may choose to drop the student from the class. Students who are dropped from class due to excessive absences may be offered a partial refund in extenuating circumstances such as moving away from the area. Refund decisions will be made by the Ohlook Executive Board on a case-by-case basis.
Disciplinary Action: In the rare case that a student’s behavior becomes disruptive enough that in impedes the progress of the class as a whole, the teacher may elect to limit the student’s participation or even remove him/her from the class. If a student is removed after the third week of the semester, no refund will be granted.
Inclement Weather: We will not have class if GCISD is closed due to inclement weather. No refunds or make-up classes will be scheduled if classes are cancelled for weather related issues.
PRODUCTION CLASS PAYMENT AND POLICIES
Payment: For students (high school and younger) $100 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of audition. If the deposit is not paid by the last day of auditions, the performer will not be cast in the show. After casting has come out there are absolutely no refunds.
Tuition balances are due by the first day of scheduled show rehearsal. After the first rehearsal, tuition will be considered late and subject to a $25 late fee. If full tuition has not been received by the third rehearsal (unless other arrangements have been made), the performer will be replaced in the production.
Scheduling Conflicts: Conflicts for practices and shows must be provided by the performer at the time of audition. We will do our best to accommodate known conflicts, but if there are too many conflicts, the performer may want to look at their schedule and decide whether or not the show is a commitment they can make. After the schedule is made, conflicts that arise must be approved because changes made to accommodate a performer after the schedule is set, affects the director, cast members, performing musicians, volunteers, and parents.
Behavior: Ohlook is not responsible for children left unattended before or after practice.
Performers are expected to arrive on time and be ready to rehearse. Chronic lateness or missed practices may lead to the performer losing their part. Rehearsals are for learning and practicing and performers should refrain from unnecessary distractions and pay attention. Rehearsals are closed – please no friends at rehearsal.
Performers are expected to be polite and respectful to all involved. Ohlook reserves the right to ask anyone to leave if they are not acting in the best interest of the theatre, the students, teachers or staff.
Property: Costumes, props, concession items, etc., are all the property of Ohlook. Performers are not to remove costumes or props from the premises or help themselves to concession items. When concession items are being sold, students must pay for the items. Tabs or “IOUs” are not accepted.
