TUITION, FEES & PAYMENT SCHEDULE
We have made some alterations to our payment schedule within the last year, so we ask our families for their help in reading through these changes/updates to our policy.
At JCDA, we offer two different tuition payment options:
SPLIT MONTHLY PAYMENTS
or
ANNUAL TUITION
Expand the sections below for more details
OPTION #1: SPLIT TUITION DIVIDED INTO 9 EQUAL MONTHLY PAYMENTS
Please issue your payment on or before the due dates listed below. As you can see, there is a window of 7 days to make that tuition payment. This is the grace period. Payments accepted outside of this time frame will incur a $15 late fee. We thank you for your prompt payment.
Cash, Check & Credit Card are all acceptable forms of payment for tuition.
To make a split payment at each due date (listed below), you can stop in to the front desk, have your student drop a payment off inside the payment mailbox located in the lobby, or feel free to make a payment online at app.thestudiodirector.com/jcdadance/login.sd (Please Note: Wellness Plus & Flex Fit Cards cannot be processed through our online processor. These cards can be processed in-person ONLY).
Paper bills will not be issued each month; only late payments will receive a notice. See payment schedule below.
Please Note: Because 'Split Tuition' is an installment payment on the cost of a class for the season, monthly pricing is NOT impacted by school breaks, snow days or holidays. The split rate is the same each month over the course of the dance year for your convienience.
