Here are some examples to explain the various options and due dates. In all the examples we assume that you want to register for a class with a fee of 1080€ and an early sign-up fee of 960€. At this time, since we passed May 31st, only the below example 0 is relevant: Example 0: You decided last minute, after May 31st, that you want to be part of this very unique film scoring academy. Immediately after your application you will have to pay the full regular fee at once (1080€ in this example) and you are good to go! ===================================================== Other examples not relevant at this time anymore, but they will be relevant again next year: Example 1: You want to make use of the early sign-up fee. You register befoe April 15th and you pay immediately the 100€ deposit. Your seat is now reserved. Now you still owe us 860€. You pay the remaining 860€ by May 31st the latest – and you are done, your seat is secured and fully paid. Example 2: You register after April 15th but before May 31st. You now have to pay a course fee of 1080€ as the early sign-up offer expired (what a shame that you missed it…). You pay immediately the 100€ deposit. Your seat is now reserved. Now you still owe us 980€. You pay the remaining 980€ by May 31st the latest – and you are done, your seat is secured and fully paid. Example 3: You registered for a course before May 31st (either before April 15th using the early sign-up deal or after April 15th using the regular course fee). You pay immediately the 100€ deposit. Your seat is now reserved. And you still owe us the remaining course fee. But now, for some strange reasons, you fail to pay the remaining course fee by May 31st. Now you have lost your seat and your fee deposit is gone, we won’t return it as we kept the seat open for you – potentially declining other registrations after the course has been completely booked. The only thing you can do now is to contact us to find out if there is still a seat open. If so you will have to pay the full regular fee at once (1080€ in this example) and you are back in the game. But again, your initial deposit is gone, so we really hope this won’t happen to you! Hope these examples helped to clarify our registration and payment conditions.
