REGISTRATION
All new international students enrolling in an Independent Study Program for the first time are subject to a one-time*, non-refundable $375 registration fee when submitting the International Student Registration Form (this fee is a fee paid to Peridance only, is separate from the student's tuition, and is not associated in any way with the fees required to apply for an F-1 visa).
*Please note that international students with a gap in study may be subject to paying the registration fee again (please refer to the section on continuing students and the extension fee).

TUITION PAYMENT
In all cases, students are expected to make their remaining tuition payment (if applicable) by their program start date, unless they are eligible for, and approved for, a payment plan. If the student is not applying for a payment plan, they will receive an invoice from the Peridance Center Office via Stripe for their remaining tuition balance (along with a payment instructions email for those wishing to pay via a non-card payment method) no later than two weeks prior to their program start date. Students who do not pay their tuition in full by their program start date and have not applied for, and been approved for, a payment plan, will not be allowed to take class until their tuition has been paid in full.

CONTINUING STUDENTS & EXTENSION FEE
Domestic students who wish to enroll in the next level of study must submit a Study Extension Form (available to current students only), and pay the minimum half tuition balance, no later than 4 weeks prior to the start date of their new program.In all cases, students are expected to make their remaining tuition payment for their new program (if applicable) by their program start date, unless they are eligible for, and approved for, a payment plan.
International students who wish to enroll in the next level of study must submit a Study Extension Form (available to current students only) and pay the minimum tuition balance, plus a $250 study extension fee, no later than 4 weeks prior to the start date of their new program. In all cases, students are expected to make their remaining tuition payment for their new program (if applicable) by their program start date, unless they are eligible for, and approved for, a payment plan.
Please note that international students who are eligible to, and plan to, continue their study at Peridance must take action to request a continuation of their study by submitting the Study Extension Form before the end of their 60-day grace period. Once a student's request for a Change of Education Level has been processed, the student is expected to start with the first available session start date. If a Change of Education Level is not processed before the end of the student’s grace period, the student is no longer considered to be a continuing student by SEVP or by Peridance, and will be subject to paying the $375 registration fee again if they chose to return to study at Peridance at the subsequent level of study at a future date.
REFUND POLICIES
International Student Tuition Refund Policy
Refunds on tuition will only be issued in the event that a student has been denied an F-1 visa at their local U.S. Embassy or Consulate, has been denied entry into the country by U.S. Customs & Border Protection prior to their program start date, or has had their change of status request denied by USCIS. In such instances, Peridance must receive official documentation of the visa application denial, refused entry, or change of status denial before a refund will be issued. Absolutely no refund will be issued for any other reason than the ones listed above once the student has paid their tuition balance.* If a refund is due, it will be issued for the tuition amount paid minus a 10% administrative processing fee and any additional fees depending on the method of refund.** For students who have been admitted with reduced or waived application fees, the amount of the registration fee will be deducted from the amount of the tuition already paid before a refund is issued.
*Students who decide not to attend their program after paying their partial, or full, tuition balance, will not be owed a refund (unless otherwise warranted by the refund policy), however, a Peridance credit equivalent to the tuition amount paid may be kept on file in the student's name in such cases. Similarly, students who wish to change their program length after Peridance has already issued the student an I-20 will not be owed a refund for any surplus tuition paid, however a Peridance credit equivalent to the surplus tuition paid may be kept on file in the student's name. In all cases, any credit issued by the school to the student may either be used towards a future Peridance program, or to take drop-in classes at the studio, for a period of up to two years from the date of issuance.
**Refunds issued by wire transfer will incur a $50 wire transfer fee charge. Refunds issued by card will incur a 5% charge. There is no additional fee for issuing refunds by check. Refunds by check may either be mailed or picked up in-person at the studio.
Domestic Student Tuition Refund Policy
Absolutely no refund will be issued once the student has paid their tuition balance. Rare exceptions to this policy may be made at the discretion of Peridance Management in cases of extreme personal tragedy, or in the event that the student is suffering from a documented injury or illness that a medical professional (MD or DO) has determined makes them unfit to participate in their intended program. In all such cases, Peridance must receive a full, written explanation and supporting evidence (for medical cases only), before a determination will be made. Absolutely no refund will be issued for any other reason than the ones listed above and no refunds will be issued for any reason once the student has begun their program of study.* If a refund is due, it will be issued for the tuition amount paid minus a 10% administrative processing fee and any additional fees depending on the method of refund.** For students who have been admitted with reduced or waived application fees, the amount of the registration fee will be deducted from the amount of the tuition already paid before a refund is issued.
