MCO Refund Policy
MCO expects participants to commit to an entire semester at a time. However, we understand extenuating circumstances may prohibit you from continued participation. Please see the refund policy for tuition and fees in the table below. Extenuating circumstances include a move out of the area, a death in the family, and other life!altering situations, reviewed by the treasurer on a case!by!case basis. Unexpected scheduling conflicts do not constitute an extenuating circumstance.
Refunds will be issued as follows:
| AMOUNT REFUNDED | REASON FOR REFUND |
| 100% | EVMCO/OCMCO made a change that caused a conflict for you, such as a change in a mandatory date, or a change in times or places of rehearsals or performances. The change must have occurred after you registered. |
| 90% | Extenuating circumstances prorated depending on how many rehearsals have been attended. No refund within 3 weeks of the end of the semester. |
| 75% | Non-extenuating circumstances prior to the final registration deadline. |
| NONE | Non-extenuating circumstances after the final registration deadline. |
Refund requests must be in writing. For EVMCO, email registration@EVMCO.org or write to P.O. Box 838, Gilbert, AZ, 85299. For OCMCO, email registration@OCMCO.org or write to P.O. Box 6084, Huntington Beach, CA, 92615. You can also call 714-963-7394. EV/OCMCO cannot provide refunds for concert attire as it is purchased on your own from the retailer.
Participants in audition ensembles must make a commitment to participate for each semester before the end of the previous semester. This will enable directors to know the needs of each ensemble when holding auditions for the new semester. Those who wish to terminate participation at the end of a semester (except for extenuating circumstances) will forfeit their place in that ensemble, and may need to re!audition if they desire to join the ensemble in the future.
