We appreciate your cooperation with CAST policies to make sure things run smoothly for everyone!
Payment Information
All tuition amounts listed on the website, with the exception of the summer intensive camp, are monthly tuition fees. To register for a class, you should pay for the first month’s tuition through the shopping cart. Any payment that is not honored by a financial institution will result in a $10 late fee. Any returned check will result in a $25 service charge. You may also pay the total tuition in full at time of registration by adding multiple months to your shopping cart.
A refund of tuition is granted ONLY if a program session is cancelled. No reduction in fees is given for late arrival, early departure, vacations, special events, short-term illness or expulsion for disciplinary reasons. Cancellation requests must be submitted via email to hollie@castenn.com at least a week prior to the first day of class to be considered for a credit or a refund. The registration fee is nonrefundable.
If a student decides not to continue with a class, a fee of 50% of the tuition for the months that are not completed will be assessed. This is due to the fees and administration costs that CAST must commit when a student enrolls in a class but then does not complete the class.
