• Online registration at CYT Lafayette is available up to 24 hours after the second class meeting. Late registrations are not prorated.
• All registrations must be paid in full before students can be enrolled. To ensure prompt enrollment, pay online when registering. The credit card processing fee is included when paying online!
• Since some classes fill quickly, register early! We do have a wait list for classes that fill, however, it's highly unlikely that the wait list is activated. 
• Students must meet age requirements by the first class day of the session.
• Some classes require additional fees or the purchase of supplies (e.g. make-up or tap shoes).
• If student auditions for a production and is not cast, no class refund will be issued.
• No refunds are given. If there are special circumstances, please email tiffany@cytlafayette.org. 
• Confirmation of registration payment is emailed.
• Payment can be made online. 
• If we have to cancel the full session of your particular class due to enrollment and there is no other option you are interested in, we will give you a full refund (no third-party fee).
• Attendance is crucial for both individual progress and maintaining class dynamics. If a student misses three classes within a show session (Fall, Winter, Spring), they will be removed from any roles within the class and any roles in any MainStage productions will be in jeopardy as well.

• Some classes are audition-based classes and may require a longer commitment. In this case, you will register for a placeholder class. Pending auditions, you will then be added to the class.
• Students who do not make the class will be notified via email and given the option to select another class.

Age Requirements:
Students must meet the minimum age requirement and must not exceed the maximum age requirement by the first day of the program, whether it’s the start of a class, a camp, or auditions for a show. For example, 7-year-olds and 19-year-olds are not eligible to audition for shows. We hope this will clarify any questions and ensure that each student is in a program best suited to their age and stage of development. Additionally:

• Students must meet the age requirement for classes before the first day of the class. This applies to both Trimester and Studio Classes.
• No student will be required to drop out of a class mid-session due to age.
• Once a student graduates from high school, they also age out of CYT, regardless of their age.

Special Requirements for Students Turning 18:
For students who turn 18, we have implemented a few additional steps to align with our commitment to safety and character development:

1. Sign a new Commitment to Character
2. Consent to a Background Check through Protect My Ministry
3. Successfully complete a Child Safety Course through Protect My Ministry

Contractual Age Requirements:
In certain cases, shows like The Lion King or Les Misérables have age requirements determined by the licensor. In these situations, CYT will adhere to the contracted age requirements, as they supersede our own. If a student requests an exception, we can submit a request; however, we will ultimately comply with the licensing company’s guidelines.

Age Requirements for CYT Programs:

• Age 4 (Potty-trained): Opening Act classes/camp
• Age 8: Show Auditions and classes/shows/camp
• Age 11: Repertory classes
• Age 13: Teen classes/shows/camp

• Rescheduling/Substitution: CYT Lafayette reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher at any time. CYT Lafayette reserves the right to reschedule or combine classes.
• Attendance: Attendance is crucial for both individual progress and maintaining class dynamics. If a student misses more than three classes within a session, any roles in the class and any MainStage productions will be in jeopardy.
• Studio Closure: In the event of inclement weather or a mandatory CYT closure, we will notify you via email and social media. While we generally follow local school closings, we may make independent decisions based on specific circumstances. We will reschedule if possible, but due to the amount of events on our season calendar, not all events will be able to be rescheduled.
