SCS is based on a “pay-as-you-go” policy. Payment is due at each session. Your payment reserves your place in class. We encourage everyone to pay on a monthly basis whenever possible. Should you fall behind in payment for more than two (2) weeks, please make arrangements with the individual instructors.

Questions Regarding Class

You should feel free to talk to your individual instructors with any questions regarding class. For business related issues, please contact us here.

Auditing

The Studio allows auditing. You only have to contact us to set up a time to audit. Depending on the work being done in class sometimes auditing is not allowed in a particular class.

Tardiness

Late arrival and early departure from class is not encouraged. Leaving class without notifying your instructor can be very disruptive for your fellow students. However, we recognize students’ busy schedules. If you need to arrive late or leave early, please make arrangements with your instructor ahead of class.

Absences/Conflicts

If you must be late, leave early, or miss a class, please notify the instructor as soon as possible. If the notice is less than 24 hours, please call the individual instructor before the beginning of class. Each student is allowed one no-show, after that, any unnotified absences will be charged for the class. This payment insures your space in class, as enrollment is limited to 10 students for the ongoing classes. If you need to take a leave of absence for any reason, you have two options: 1) you may pay to reserve your space in the class; or, 2) you may drop out of the class and go to the top of the waiting list once you want to return to class.

Cell Phones/Electronics

All cellular phones must be put on silent upon arrival to class. We encourage everyone to get in the habit of turning off all electronic devices upon your entrance into the studio. We all know how disruptive it is to the creative process to have phones ringing through class work. Due to the personal nature of our class work, we have a “no-recording” policy unless approved by participants/students.

SCS operates in accordance with local school calendars with regards to holidays. If there is no school, there is no class at the studio unless otherwise prearranged.
