AMAW CAPE TOWN POLICIES

Read carefully, as you will be held responsible for all policies. 

1. All students must read and adhere to the AMAW Code Of Ethics
2. All students must sign a waiver before their first class to be allowed to participate. 
3. Please give Content Warnings to your classmates before you start your scene. This gives your classmates a chance to leave the class for the scene if there is content they might find disturbing within a scene. Ask your teachers if you are unsure how to do this.
4. Boundaries need to be discussed with your partner before you perform your scene each week. When you are reading your scene with your partner before class, please talk about your boundaries with your partner as boundaries can shift between one class to another. You must be able to tell the teacher what your partner’s boundaries are before the scene begins. Your teachers are going to be talking about this more each class as well.

If you have to withdraw and notify the Studio Manager at least 48 hours prior to the start of the course, your payment will be kept on file for a future Foundations date.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ON-GOING CLASSES 

1. Payment is due before your first class. If payment is not received, you risk losing your spot on the roster. If there is a waitlist and you have not paid by the due date, you will lose your spot.
2. If you need to drop out of class after the class has begun, there are no refunds. Credits and partial credits will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
3. If you are consistently late to class without communicating with your partner and teacher, leaving early without valid explanation, or constantly on your phone, your placement on the roster will be reevaluated at the end of each month.
4. The cost of in person ongoing classes is R2000. Online classes are R1800 for South Africans and $150 per month for international students. 
5. Our referral program has changed. If you refer a student, once they have enrolled in Foundations you will get a one-time R200 credit for your next class. You and the foundation student must communicate this to the Studio Manager.
6. Scenes must be read with your partner before class. We are not taking the time to read scenes during class.
7. Please be respectful of the studio space. If you are reading a scene with a partner, be mindful of your volume. Do not read scenes loudly in the lobby or outside of the classroom or in the courtyard. Do not go overboard banging on doors when knocking, or by slamming our doors. Please do not make loud or unnecessary noise in the hallways. 
8. Please come prepared with two scenes printed. 

Each student has one makeup per month in On-Going classes. Makeups are scheduled via email with the Studio manager. Makeups must be completed within 30 days of missing a class. Students should come prepared with two copies of a scene and plan to stay for the entire class.
