Registration and Tuition Information

To have your information added to the e-mail notification list for other announcements or changes, please send your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number to summermusic@villanova.edu.   We have found that some school districts block our e-mails - it may be best to send a personal e-mail address, or at the very least add summermusic@villanova.edu to your address book to help aid the receipt of e-mails. 

Registration

Registration opened on Tuesday, March 26th at 9pm. 

Deposit payments are made at the time of registration ($100 per course).  We accept Visa & Mastercard only for online registrations.  You may use Visa, Mastercard, or Discover with a pdf/faxed/mailed registration.  You may also mail in a registration with a check or money order.  Villanova University does not accept American Express. 

Your registration will not be processed without a deposit.  All registrations with deposits will be processed in the order in which they are received.

Once registration is officially open on March 26th, you will be able to register in one of the following ways. (And the links below will be active.)

  1. Register Online.   (This is the most efficient method of registration - please register online if at all possible.) 

  2. Print and Fax a Registration Form to: (610) 519-7596.  (The link to the printable/pdf registration form is found at the top of the online form.)

  3. Print and Email a completed Registration Form to:
    summermusic@villanova.edu
    . Please double-check that the pdf is complete (nothing "cut-off" and that the document is legible if it was scanned) before sending. Unfortunately, we can not provide "tech-support" or instructions on how to send a pdf.   If you do not know how to do this, please register online or send your registration by fax or US Mail.  (The link to the printable/pdf registration form is found at the top of the online form.)

  4. Print and Mail a Registration Form to the following address.  (Note: the link to the printable/pdf registration form is found at the top of the online form.)

    Summer Music Program
    Office of Music Activities

    800 Lancaster Avenue
    Villanova, PA 19085-1699

Please Note: Regardless of the way in which you register, you will receive official confirmation of your registration (which is also your only invoice for balance due) via US mail in approximately three weeks. Due to the large numbers of registrants, particularly in the first weeks, receipt of registration (via mail, fax, e-mail, or online) will not be confirmed by phone.  If you do not hear from us after three weeks, please call the summer music registrar at 610.519.5050.

3 credit courses

  • Technology courses $890
  • All other 3cr courses are $800

4 credit courses

1 credit courses

  • The Villanova Summer Chorus and Advanced Topics in Choral Music have a no-credit option for $200.  If you wish to take either for no-credit, register for course 155 or 154, respectively, and your bill will reflect the discounted price.  (If you are taking the course for non-credit, you will not receive PDE contact hours.)

Waiting Lists

Many courses fill rapidly because of high demand. Technology Courses, Instrument Repair, Drumset, and Guitar are particularly popular. In the event your first choice is not available, if you opt for ‘YES’ in the waiting list column, we will put you on the waiting list and enroll you in your second choice (if applicable).  Should your first choice become available we will contact you and give you the option to switch into your first choice.

Credits/Auditing

Each course earns a designated number of graduate credits from our credit granting partner, The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, unless otherwise noted. Any course may be audited for no credit if there is room. There is no discount for auditing. Students may repeat a previously taken course, as the experience and content may be unique each time.  Be advised that course repetition may not be accepted by many school districts or colleges.   In 2013 we do offer the option to take our mini-courses, Villanova Summer Chorus or Advanced Topics in Choral Conducting, for non-credit (and non PDE credit) for a discounted rate of $200.   

Deposits/Payment

A $100 non-refundable deposit per course is required for registration. Forms of payment include VISA, MasterCard, Discover (Discover not accepted on the online form), personal checks and money orders only. Debit cards for which a pin number is needed are not accepted. If you are requesting a course less than 14 days in advance, please call to confirm that space is available. Balance is due one month prior to the beginning of your first course - your confirmation letter is also your invoice (additional reminders are not sent by mail).

If you make a deposit in order to be placed on the waiting list for a course that is full, you will receive a full refund of the deposit if a spot in the course does not open.

If you are requesting a course less than one month prior to start of course FULL PAYMENT is due at the time of registration.

Policies

Attendance Policy
All students are expected to attend all class sessions regularly and promptly, and for the duration of the scheduled instructional time.  Our courses are intensive and every hour in the classroom is critical.  Our policy is that full letter grade will be deducted for each half day missed (or accumulated latenesses equivalent to a half-day), regardless of the individual circumstance.

Refund Policy
All refunds are less nonrefundable deposits and fees and calculated as follows:

100% refund less the $100 nonrefundable course deposit for withdrawal up to 14 days prior to the first class.

0% refund for withdrawal within fewer than fourteen days.

All withdrawals must be submitted in writing via fax (610-519-7596), email (summermusic@villanova.edu), or letter.

Course Cancellation Policy
Villanova University reserves the right to cancel any course due to insufficient enrollment.  If a cancellation should occur, students will be notified at least seven days in advance and have the option taking another course or receiving a full refund (including the full deposit). 

Academic Information - University of the Arts
