A $20.00 late fee will be assessed on accounts for which payments are received after the above due dates. Late payments may also result in suspended lessons and forfeiture of a place in an instructor’s studio.
Tuition will be prorated for new students entering the Southern Miss Piano Institute program after a semester has begun. The annual registration fee of $30.00, required of all students, is applicable at the point at which a student registers in the program.
Tuition payment may be made through personal check, money order, or cash. All checks should be made payable to USM SCHOOL OF MUSIC.
