Withdrawal Policy 2024-2025
If a student chooses to withdraw from a class at The Guelph Academy of Dance (TGAD), the parent or guardian must immediately contact the studio administrator (225 Hanlon Creek Blvd, Unit 14) and provide an emailed notice of the withdrawal. The studio will not officially withdraw the student from classes until the written notice of withdrawal is received via email or phone.

TGAD does keep attendance records, but this is not a monitoring system. If you intend to withdraw, it is your responsibility to contact the school.
If your child withdraws from a class due to illness or an injury, please provide the school with a doctor’s note so that an appropriate prorated refund can be issued.
