Materials Fees

In some courses, mainly art classes, there are additional fees for the materials used. In most cases, these fees will be paid directly to the instructors providing the materials.

Tuition Payment

You will receive an acknowledgement with the payment deadline noted on it within a week after you have made an application. You cannot attend classes before you pay the tuition. If you do not hear from us, please contact us by phone or e-mail.

Note: Students who have unpaid tuition or other fees will not be allowed to register for new classes. You can only receive one discount from Alumni Discount, Early Bird Discount and High School Student Discount, not multiple discounts.

Textbooks / Other Materials

The cost of textbooks is not included in the tuition. You may purchase the necessary textbooks/ materials after classes start. Instructors in many classes will rely on handouts and other materials instead of textbooks.
