Policies
CSA’s guidelines for payment, attendance and refunds keep our programs running smoothly. Although more than 300 families are involved in CSA activities, our desire is to see each student and faculty member experience the arts in the best possible situation. The Music Center Office staff is happy to answer questions and take payments during open hours. Or contact us by phone at 574-535-7361, or email at csa@goshen.edu.
Registration
The academic year is divided into two 16-week semesters: fall and spring. Registration for lessons will be assumed to be for the entire academic year, although students will be billed for each semester separately. Registration will be considered complete when the registration fee and deposit of 1/3 of the semester's tuition is received in the Music Center (MC) office.
Tuition and fees
- A registration fee of $20 per year per family is required at initial registration for the year.
- 5% tuition discount when more than one from a family is enrolled.
- Financial aid is available based on need. Deadline for filing financial aid application is 2 weeks prior to beginning of semester.
- A $5 late fee will be added to each overdue payment.
- Payments may be made in full or in three equal installments. The first payment is due the first day of the semester.
Please remember to:
- Include one-time registration fee along with tuition
- Make check payable to “Goshen College CSA”
- Write the name of your student(s) on check
- Mail to Goshen College Music Center Office, 1700 S Main St, Goshen IN 46526
Lesson Cancellation and Make-Up Policy
Regular attendance is expected. Students must pay for all lessons in the semester, including those missed through student absence. Out of courtesy to the teachers, students should notify the MC Office in advance of any absence. One lesson per semester can be rescheduled (or made up) that is initiated by the student. Any lessons cancelled by the teacher due to illness, weather or emergencies will be made up by arrangement between the student and teacher.
Group lessons will not be made up. In extreme weather when group lessons may need to be cancelled, information will be posted on the announcements page of the Music Center web site at http://www.gcmusiccenter.org, or can be obtained from the MC office by calling 574-535-7361.
Refund Policy & Withdrawl
Refunds may be requested within the first three weeks of the semester and are issued upon the CSA Director's approval. Intent to withdraw must be given to MC Office staff prior to the fourth lesson. Failure to attend lessons/classes will not generate a refund; you will be financially obligated for the full semester regardless of your participation.
