SCHOOL POLICIES
> Important Advisories:
Injury
Policy - Taekwondo is a very physical,
contact sport. Students must understand and accept that, during the course of
training, it is possible to sustain mild injuries from the very nature of
training. As with all other sports and
fitness programs, it is highly advisable that you obtain your physician’s
approval before entering one of our martial arts programs. Medical conditions,
especially if requiring medications or if involving physical limitations,
should be brought to our attention immediately. In some cases, a
physician’s authorization may be required for participation.
It
is in the student's interest and welfare to follow all our rules, policies and
safety regulations, both written and verbal.
> Compliance & Waivers:
Students must complete and sign a Student Participation, Advisory &
Compliance Form before participation is permitted. We urge students to read everything
handed out in class. If you have any questions, concerns, or special needs,
please call us or send mail to TKDteach2@aol.com.
> School Policies:
~ Course Tuition Fees
for classes held at the Fair Lawn Community School (FLCS) are
to be paid in advance to FLCS. Summer tuition, seminar and
all additional class or other fees are paid in advance directly to Ro
Insler Taekwondo (RIT) (See Class Schedules for the current tuition fees.)
~ Refunds & Credits:
Refunds are only permitted for cancellations made at least 5 days (or longer)
before the start of a session.
No refunds allowed for cancellations made within four days of the start
of a session, after a session has begun, nor for cancellations made for
"limited enrollment" classes (such as our Tiny Tots Program). A
cancellation fee of $15 will be deducted from tuition refunds requested before
that time. All other fees are non-refundable. Any returned checks will be
subject to a $30 charge.
Credits for tuition fees are only permitted for valid reasons such as a serious
injury or a prolonged illness, and may only be applied to future course fees. A
physician's note is required stating the illness or injury and that the
students is not able to participate. A "return to activity" note from
the physician must be provided upon the student's return to class.
Withdrawals from the program, after classes have started, are subject
to a $15 cancellation fee - provided that the student has not attended any
classes. The fee will be deducted from the tuition fees and a credit will
be issued for the balance.
