F.A.Q

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer Financial assistance?

For any course over $1000, we offer a flexible payment installment plan that does not require credit approval or interest. We require a deposit and will automatically deduct monthly payments each month until you are paid in full. The payment plan does include a $600 maintenance fee.  Contact Us today to get started setting up your flexible payment plan.

Do you offer makeup classes?

Students are expected to attend lessons on a regular basis. Teachers are not required to make-up missed lesson(s) when no notice is given. Excused absences, where advanced notice is given, can be made-up during a mutually agreeable time, as a virtual lesson, or with a video lesson prepared by the teacher. After School Music Workshop activities are included in this policy.


To report a student absence, please visit your student portal and click on future absence button & complete absence form. Refunds are not issued for lessons that the student cancels or missed. Students are given 1 makeup token for any 1 missed absence. There are not makeups after the 1 token has been used. There are no makeups for group or regional center courses. 

Our video courses offers a perfect opportunity to catch up on what you missed.


ALL IN-PERSON ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELED IF CUTS DJ ACADEMY IS CLOSED DUE TO WEATHER.

Lessons will be offered virtually in the case of campus closure. If the public/private schools are closed, check with your individual private teacher to determine if he/she will be teaching as usual, virtually, or to schedule a make-up lesson.

How do private lessons work?

One-hour private lessons can be purchased in 1, 5 or 10 packs. Depending on your experience and interests, we are happy to pair you with an instructor we believe will be perfect for you. Private lessons must be used within 6 months from the time of purchase. Private Lessons are non-refundable.

I want to do The Program, but will not be available for the next couple of months, what are my options?

We offer start dates for The Program year round; simply select a future date that works for you. Contact us for available schedule.

Do you accept military aid or government assistance?

These programs are only for accredited nonprofit institutions, which we are not at this time. We are a recreational learning center; therefore we are unable to accept these programs.

Can I audition a class and then decide if I want to join and pay?

We do not offer audits of any classes. Due to the highly interactive nature of our courses, we believe the best way to learn is to do. We encourage you to sign up for a tour of the academy, where you will have a chance to experience the Cuts DJ Academy and meet with potential instructors.

Does Cuts DJ Academy help us get gigs after we complete The Program?

Yes Cuts DJ Academy offers job placement for Kids & Adults after completing any DJ Certification course.

 

I am an International student; do you offer educational VISAs and help with living arrangements?

Because our classes are for personal enrichment and are less than 18 hours a week, international students coming to the U.S. primarily for tourism may be allowed to visit the U.S. on a visitor (B) visa and take our courses during their stay. Please note that we are not able to offer educational visas.
For more information, please visit the U.S. Department of State website here:http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en.html.

Unfortunately, we cannot help with living arrangements, however there are great sites that can help, such as Airbnb.com, VRBO.com or www.hiusa.org.

 

I am a returning DJ Certification student that has not completed my coursework. What are my options?

All returning DJ Cert students must be re-evaluated in order to assess what level they will be placed. Some students will need to retake classes since our curriculum has changed since they were last in class with us. Due to  the DJ Cert Program no longer being offered, students must enter the Part Time Program and pay the difference between the two programs. Returning students will not be allowed any more time off once they enter the Part Time program.
