1. REGISTRATION

Registration becomes valid and effective once the online registration form has been completed and the yearly registration fee of 510 kr has been paid. This secures a spot for the current academic year (2025/26). Registration is open throughout the year, subject to availability in the teacher's calendar. Students who register after the start of a semester will only be charged for the remaining lessons.

 

1A. CONTRACT DURATION AND RENEWAL

Upon registration, the student enters into a continuing agreement with Oslo International Piano Studio (OIPS). This contract is automatically renewed each academic year (August–June) unless cancelled in writing by the student (see Section 6).

• Price Adjustments: OIPS may update tuition rates or terms annually. Students will be notified by May 15 of any such changes. Continued participation into the next academic year constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

• Annual Cancellation Deadline: Students wishing to discontinue must notify OIPS in writing by June 1. Failure to do so results in automatic enrollment for the next academic year.

• Scheduling: The weekly lesson time slot will be discussed and agreed upon with the teacher before June 1 each year. Returning students who confirm continuation on time are given priority in scheduling.
