WITHDRAWAL PROCESS
All withdrawals from classes and private lessons must be in writing to the Registrar, a form is available at the front desk. Registration, payment plan and materials fees are non-refundable. Refund by check or credit card will be sent approximately 30 days after the refund request. For Group Classes, Camps, Workshops and Intensives: No refunds will be given for classes after the second class is taken. Students will continue to be charged until written notice is given. Refunds will be made one week before classes begin if in writing to the Registrar.

NOTE: all group classes are based on a minimum number of students. Should the class not reach the minimum number, RA reserves the right to cancel the class and students will receive a full refund for classes not held or transfer to another class.

For Private Instruction: Students are required to pay for two lessons after the Registrar has received notification so that the time slot can be filled by another student. Students will continue to be charged until an official drop slip has been signed.

CLASS CHANGES
Student must fill out a drop/add form anytime classes are changed.

MAKE-UP CLASSES AND LESSONS
Private Lessons: Students must notify the Academy if unable to attend a scheduled lesson: before 10:00am if the lesson is after 12 noon or before 6:00pm if the lesson is the next morning. Call 419.522.8224 or toll-free 1.877.522.8224 to report absences. To make up a lesson a teacher may extend the length of the preceding or succeeding lessons or schedule another lesson at a mutually convenient time. If a student misses an appointed make-up time, the lesson will not be rescheduled. Classes: RA cannot make-up class lessons or refund tuition for classes missed by the student. Occasionally, an instructor may have an emergency and must miss a class/lesson. Should this occur, the instructor would make-up the class/lesson at an alternate time agreed upon by the instructor and the student.

Parking is available in our small lot, in the Mansfield Municipal Parking Lot at Main and 4th Streets and on the street. After 5:30pm private lots are available with the exception of the lot directly across from RA on 4th Street. In all cases, please observe posted parking signs.
