Refund Policy

The only course for which we offer refunds is the 12-Week Foundation Course, as follows:

The $250.00 deposit for enrollment in the 12-Week Foundation Course is fully refundable provided both the following criteria are met:

1) The student notifies the office via email at: info@AntonioSabatoJr-ActingAcademyforChildren.com or via telephone at 1-800-ACT-1963 no later than 3 business days prior to the first class of the course; and
2) We are able to fill the student’s spot in the course

If both these criteria are met, refunds will be made as follows:

For cash or check payments, we will issue a check and send via U.S. mail to an address specified by the student (please allow 10 business days’ processing time);

For credit card payments, we will issue a full credit on the same card used to make the original payment. Please note that Credit Card information is NOT held on file and we will require the information again from the student.

For All Other Courses

We do not offer refunds other than for the initial deposit for the 12-Week Foundation Course, as noted above.

We do not sell partial courses or single classes, and we do not pro-rate class fees based on attendance, including for classes missed for any reason. No refunds or credits will be issued for classes not taken.

Absence/Make-Up Policy

The 12-Week Foundation Course has a strict absence policy: Students may not miss any of the first class meeting, and may not miss more than 1 class during the first 6-week module (Foundation Course) and 1 class during the second 6-week module (Foundation Course).

Students in good financial standing who must miss more than 1 class during the first 6-week module may re-take the entire first 6-week module (with the instructor’s permission) at no additional charge within 6 months of the date of stopping the course, provided the student notifies the office by email at info@AntonioSabatoJrActingAcademyforChildren.com or by telephone at 1-800-ACT-1963 at least 1 week prior to the start of the make-up 6-week module.

Students in good financial standing who miss more than 1 class during the second 6-week module may make arrangements with the instructor to either re-take the entire module, or to make up the missed classes, at the instructor’s discretion.

Absences from Other Courses

Absences from any or all classes offered may not be made up, refunded, credited, or pro-rated. We do not sell partial-month classes.
