Kala Bhavan Rules & Regulations
The following policies apply to all disciplines of Kala Bhavan:
- New students are required to pay a non-refundable registration fee at the time of enrollment. For any student dropping out midway, registration will remain valid up to the end of the semester. Students returning into a new semester will be required to register as new student.
- All registration payments must be made online at http://www.durgabari.org/payments/ with the student’s name, school, and subject. Registration fee is payable latest by the due date on the web site. The due date for 2023 is April 2, and late fees will be automatically charged from April 3. Failure to make payments by the due date will result in a late fee of $10.
- Registration fees are $175 per year ($150 for members). Tuition fees at Kala Bhavan mandated rates ($20 per class) are payable directly to the Teacher.
- Students are required to inform Kala Bhavan and their respective Guru (in writing) in advance, about prolonged breaks/vacations (4 consecutive classes or more) to receive a release from fee payment for that period. Requests for such releases should be received before the first missed class. All missed classes before the notification, will be considered regular absenteeism and fees will be due for those classes.
- Regular attendance is expected of all students. Absence only due to unavoidable circumstances is acceptable. Informing the Guru/management about any absence in advance or at the earliest possible (in case of an emergency or unforeseen situation) is part of the discipline. Readjustment of tuition will not be considered under that or any other circumstances. Frequent absences will be considered lack of commitment and involvement from the student.
- No extra classes will be offered to students absent during regular classes.
- If a class is missed by a Guru – make up class will be arranged on some other day. If not, the tuition paid, will roll over.
- Students and parents are responsible to keep the Kala Bhavan authorities and their respective Guru informed of any change in their contact information.
- Punctuality for the classes is crucial.
- Students are responsible to bring all supplies and materials required for the class as specified by the teacher.
- If a dress code is specified for a class, students are expected to abide by it.
