NSGA Policies & Procedures

Updated 4/10/25

Monthly Billing

  • Enrollment is ONGOING for the season you enroll in. The school year season runs September – May. The summer season runs June – August.
  • Monthly charges will continue for the entire season you are enrolled in, until we receive a DROP REQUEST via the iClass Parent Portal PRIOR to the 25th of the month.
  • Tuition is structured on an annual basis, covering 48 weeks of instruction. For your convenience, the total annual tuition is divided into equal monthly installments. Please note that the monthly fee remains consistent, regardless of the number of class sessions within a given month (which may vary between 3, 4, or 5). The annual schedule includes four weeks designated as breaks, and these have been factored into the total tuition amount. Consequently, make-up classes will not be offered, and tuition will not be prorated for months containing these scheduled breaks. Typically, these breaks occur:
  • End of August, Early September (1 week)
  • Late December, Early January (2 weeks)
  • Late May, Early June (1 week)
  • First months tuition is due at registration and paid monthly thereafter.
  • Fees will be prorated for NEW registrations submitted after the 1st of the month. The gymnast will be charged for just the classes left in the month (if there are less than 4 classes).
  • Credit cards will be charged on the 1st of each month for the next month’s tuition (or first business day after the 1st if it falls on a weekend).
  • If we are unable to process a payment due to a declined, expired, or invalid credit card, a $25 late fee will be applied to the account on the 5th of that month.
  • NO refunds or credits issued for dropped or missed classes.

Level Change/Class Transfers

  • Students are assessed on an ongoing basis with the ability to move up as skill requirements are mastered.
  • Quarterly skill testing is conducted with progress reports available online and sent home with each gymnast.
  • Students and parents will be notified by their coach when ready to move to the next class level.
  • A TRANSFER REQUEST must be submitted via the iClass Parent Portal to officially enroll/transfer to the next appropriate level class OR to switch to a different class day/time in the same level.
  • TRANSFER REQUESTS must be submitted by the 25th of the month. If approved, students will start their new class on the first class of the next month if moving up a level.
  • TRANSFER REQUESTS are allowed in the middle of the month if requesting a new day/time within the same level and there is availability in the desired class.
  • If desired class is showing FULL online, please join a waitlist.  Our office will contact you if space becomes available in that class.

Cancelling Class

  • North Shore reserves the right to close or cancel a class if it is full or if there is not enough interest. Some classes may have a combination of ability levels. We will do our best to place your child in their first class choice
