Attendance Policies
ATTENDANCE AND MAKE UP POLICY
Lessons
Students are expected to attend lessons and rehearsals on a regular basis. Teachers are not required to make-up lessons missed or cancelled by the student. Lessons that have to be rescheduled by the teacher will be made up at an agreed upon day and time.
To report a lesson absence, please contact your teacher via phone or email (see teacher studio policy). Refunds are not issued for lessons that a student cancels or missed.
Children's Choir
It is great to see our Children's Choir singers each week, and we miss them when they are absent. We appreciate you sending an email to childrenschoir@uni.edu if your singer will not be at rehearsal for any reason.
ALL IN-PERSON CMS ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELED IF THE UNIVERSITY IS CLOSED DUE TO WEATHER.
Lessons may be offered virtually in the case of campus closure, and all ensemble rehearsals will be canceled. However, if the public/private schools are closed, and UNI remains open, lessons and rehearsals may still take place. Lesson students should heck with your teacher to determine if he/she will be teaching as usual, virtually, or to schedule a make-up lesson.
STUDENT DROP OFF/ PICK UP
Each parent or guardian is responsible to deliver their children under the age of 18 to the appropriate UNI Community Music School (CMS) instructor and pick-up the student(s) at the appropriate times. Students under the age of 18 should not be left unsupervised within the School of Music buildings or outside the grounds for any reason at any time. The UNI Community Music School, CMS teachers or the UNI School of Music will not assume responsibility for your child should an accident or other incident occur while they are unattended. Ongoing safety is a high priority at UNI and we appreciate your assistance in ensuring a safe environment for all.
Lesson Withdrawal
Completing the withdrawal survey gives notice that you are terminating your lessons through the UNI Community Music School (but you are always welcome back!).
- If this survey is completed after the 15th of the month, your final payment will be the following month. You can continue your lessons through the end of that month. Example: If you complete the survey on September 22nd, your final payment will be made on October 1st.
- If you complete the survey on September 11th, the September 1st payment is your final payment. Students who made one-time payments will be contact by CMS office staff to confirm the refund amount. Please allow up to 8 weeks for refunds to be issued.
Thank you for choosing the UNI Community Music School!
