Class Policy

Registration and Tuition Policy

Tuition payments can be made by ACH or credit card. No transaction fee for all Electric Check (ACH) payments. 3.5% transaction fee for all credit card payments.
Early registration is highly encouraged to ensure a spot of your choice with early registration discount benefits. Only upon reception of your payment will registration be complete and your class spot reserved.
Most NYSA classes have rolling admissions. We continue to accept registration throughout the semester. The tuition will be adjusted accordingly.

Attendance and Make-up Policy

Students must notify NYSA via email regarding any absences at least 24 hours in advance.
Make-ups cannot be guaranteed, however, we will try to accommodate you. Maximum two (2) make-ups per session (9-10 weeks). Make-ups do not carry over to the next session.
All make-up classes must be arranged with the instructor prior to attending.
Classes can be canceled due to inclement weather conditions. No make-up classes will be arranged if weather-related cancellations occur.
Any student absences cannot be credited, refunded, or roll over to the next session.
