Students must pay for courses, ensembles, and private lessons in advance for the year.
A $50 registration fee is charged once per term (academic year or summer) per student. Students enrolling in September for year-long courses, ensembles, and private lesson packages are not required to re-register for those courses in the spring. A $50 late registration fine will be charged for students registering without due cause after the registration periods listed in the catalog.
