Terms and Conditions

General Information

Only registration with full payment of the tuition guarantees a seat in class. Seating is limited, therefore enrollment in all courses is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The registration form must be completed online.

You have the choice of paying your tuition either online or by mail.

Tuition is $220 per session, which includes a total of 10 two-hour weekly classes. It must be paid in full by the due date. Payment cannot be delayed.

Payment can be made by Credit Card or E-Check (Electronic Bank Transfer) using the Google Checkout button you'll see upon completing the online registration form.

You may also mail a Check or Money Order, payable to AMICI, to the address below. If you choose this option, please include a printout of your online registration form.

Location
Classes are held at the Academy of World Languages (AWL), located on 2030 Fairfax Ave, Cincinnati, Ohio 45207. Large free parking lot is available to all students.

Time
Classrooms are open on Wednesday at 6:15pm. Students are required to arrive by 6:30pm (no tardiness). The front gate will be locked right after this time and no access to the building will be allowed. Lessons are from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, with a 10-minute break halfway through.

Books
Students must purchase the books for their class before the course begins. They can be ordered online through amazon.com via a link on the school website www.schoolamici.com in the section "bookstore". We suggest to buy a new copy, but a "used like new" copy can be a less expensive option. It usually takes 5-7 days for shipping.

Policies

A Full Refund of the tuition may be obtained if a student withdraws at least one week before the course starts. No Refund may be made anytime thereafter.

Refunds may be applied as a credit for the following session. The credit is forfeited if not used within 6 months, and it is not transferable.

Discounts, partial or pro-rated payments are not allowed.

It is not possible to grant a partial refund for missed or canceled lessons.

Cancellation of a Course
Courses that do not have a sufficient enrollment are subject to cancellation. In this case the student can move to another class or take a credit for a future course or receive a full refund of the tuition.

Cancellation of Lesson or Change of Day
School AMICI reserves the right to cancel a lesson should it be necessary due to severe weather or other exceptional circumstances. Each student must provide an email address where to be reached. If a class is cancelled, School AMICI will make every effort to contact all students in a timely fashion. It is not possible to make up for a canceled lesson on another date. Occasionally lessons may be moved to a different day due to other circumstances or events.

Classes are not in session whenever Cincinnati Public Schools are closed.

Change of Course
Only during the first week of the session a student may request to the school director to be moved to a different course provided that seats are still available in that course.

Certificate of Achievement
A student is eligible for a Certificate of Achievement upon passing a written test at the end of the course. This test is optional and is not required in order to enroll in a higher course level.

Smoking, Eating and Phone
No smoking is permitted on school’s premises. Food and beverages are prohibited in all classrooms. The use of cellular phones during the lesson is strictly limited to emergencies.
