Tuition

** Tuition is based on the entire academic year of August - May. The Yearly rate is divided into
monthly payments due on the first of every month. All payments are equal regardless of the
number of lessons or weeks any given month may have including December.**
August tuition will be prorated half of the month.

**Nicole Cote School of Dance offers 3 payment options
Choose the option that works best for you.
For customers wishing to utilize our via online payment services with credit or debit cards there is a
4% surcharge to cover transaction fees.

Option 1: Pay monthly tuition with automatic draft/payment plan. Tuition will be automatically
debited or charged from your choice of debit or credit card on the first day of each month (not
including August). To optimize this option, please fill out the hard copy registration form and
turn into the drop box. You cannot enroll for auto draft via online.

Option 2: Pay monthly tuition by cash, check (payable to Nicole Cote School of Dance), or
credit/debit card through studio website. Note: You can still pay by cash or check to avoid the
4% credit surcharges.

Option 3: Pay tuition in full for the year and receive 10% discount on total tuition (if paid in
August).

When filling out the registration form you must enter a valid credit card or debit card to
register. Your credit or debit card will not be charged automatically unless you have chosen
option 1 as a payment plan or the tuition falls behind 30 days. If tuition falls behind 30 days
and there has been no attempt to make a payment, Nicole Cote School of Dance will
automatically debit or charge the account on file. There will be a late fee automatically added of
$25.00 per month to the debit or charge on the account.
If the debit or credit card is declined there will be a $40 fee applied to the account and your
dancer will not be able to participate.

If you choose the monthly payment plan, payments must be made by the 1st of every month no later than the 5th of every month to avoid a $25.00 late fee that is automatically applied to your account.
You may pay with cash or check by placing it in the studio lobby tuition box, mail payments to:
5872 Goldrush Ave. Grant FL, 32949 or you may make a payment using the portal off the studio website.
There is a green button at the top of the homepage. Please note your dancers name and the month you are paying for. You may also pay for costumes and ticket sales.
The monthly payment plan is for your convenience only. If your child has an illness or injury and cannot attend class temporarily, tuition is still expected to continue to hold your dancers spot as the tuition rates are based on the fiscal school year.
If you are enrolled in the monthly payment plan, you must give notice by the 20 th of the month in order to discontinue lessons so that you will not be charged for upcoming months.
Missed classes must be made up within 2 weeks of the absence or forfeit the class. No refunds or
credits are given.
Checks: There will be a $30.00 returned check fee.
