Online courses have a maximum limit on the number of learners. Registration is guaranteed only to those learners who pay in full.
A $100.00 fee applies to all returned checks.
Note: Learners using the provided payment installment plans at SuhailaOnline.com are in compliance with the Payment Policies provided payments are up-to-date without default or delay as outlined by the particular payment plan.
Institute Withdrawal Policy
All withdrawal requests must be in writing.
Students may withdraw from the course within seven days of the course beginning. In such cases, the student does not get a refund. Their payments will be transferred and applied toward another course registration within the year, minus a $300 transfer fee.
Students who withdraw from a course after the first seven days, for any reason, will forfeit all payments made for that course.
Institute Payment Transfer Policy
All transfer requests must be in writing. A transfer request must be officially approved in writing by the School Director for the transfer to be valid.
Enrollment/online course fees/tuition payments can be transferred to another online course, one time only, for a $100 transfer fee; this applies to both medical and non-medical related transfers.
A request for a non-medical related transfer must be made at least three months (at least 91 days) before Day 1 of the online course. The request should be submitted by email to dance@suhaila.com. Transfer of payment will only be completed if the Director approves the request.
A request for a medical-related transfer must be made on or by Day 1 of the online course. Suhaila’s staff must receive an up-to-date doctor’s note regarding the medical emergency/ medical issue that prevents the student from participating in the course. Transfer of payment will only be completed once Suhaila Staff has received the doctor’s note at dance@suhailainternational.org.
An approved transferred payment can only be applied to the same number/level online course held within one year from the first date of the initial course.
Online course payments/tuition may not be transferred from one person to another. Students cannot “sell” their spot in the course.
Institute Homework Policy
Preparation Courses: The online certification assessment (testing preparation) courses prepare students for the online certification exams. Preparation courses give students the opportunity to receive feedback that helps them improve as dancers and work toward certification. The learner is responsible for submitting assignments on a regular and timely schedule as outlined in the courses.
Exam Courses. Learners enrolled in online exam courses are expected to submit all assignments on time. No refunds will be offered for failed exam courses that were the result of assignments being submitted late. Assignments may take 10-20 hours each week to complete.
Pre-Course/Pre-Test Homework. Specific testing preparation courses require that choreography video (often with related assignments such as mapping or gridwork) be submitted for evaluation and approval (“sign-off”) prior to the official start date of the course. During the course, students will typically have one additional opportunity to submit a choreography for approval as a mandatory pre-testing requirement. The courses are paced evenly and strategically to guide the student through the material. Late choreography and technique assignments may not be graded or evaluated, which may affect (and even prohibit) a student’s ability to test in the next available exam. (With permission, students might have the option to take private lessons for an additional fee. In other cases, they may be required to retake the testing preparation course before taking the exam.)
Institute Exam Fees
Online Course Exam Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Performance Course Exam Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Certification Exam testing fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
