As martial artists, we dislike being so strict, but we need to maintain a professional academy with strict business polices to ensure all students have a place to train for many years to come.
ATC believes in operating fair and upfront professional martial arts
academies, and we must operate our office and classrooms as smoothly as
possible. It is not fair to students who pay month to month rates if we
bend for students who try to avoid paying for their chosen discounted
programs. That is one of the reasons we maintain strict billing policies
and are upfront about all our tuition polices. If you have tuition
issues contact Student Services, as your academy Master and Instructors cannot make any
decisions on tuition issues, extensions or cancelations.
When you visited ATC and talked with the academy Manager/Master about classes,
he/she presented you several tuition options including Month to Month
(Cancel with a 30 day notice) to a discounted 3 Month Trial Program.
However, if you picked a discounted 6,12 or 24 month program or discounted
family program, you did so knowingly to receive a huge discount and you
must pay your tuition whether you attend classes or not.
Unfortunately, there are some dishonest individuals who pick long term
discounted programs thinking “good, I will get some free items and other
big savings and then I will try to cancel in several months.” Then they
rant and complain that we are not fair, when they are basically stealing
from us.
Please remember ATC Student
Services is just enforcing the contract you agreed too and signed.
