- Missing Class and Make-up
- When will a student be promoted to the next level class?
- In the New Beginner level, students only study one session. After the session is completed, all students will be promoted to Entry level.
- In Entry Level, students need to study at least 2 sessions before they can move up to Intermediate One level.
- In Intermediate one and up levels (Intermediate one, Intermediate two, Advanced one, Advanced two and Elite Group), our coach will generally evaluate students' class performance, homework, tournaments, and tactic skill level. Students can be promoted to the next level by coach recommendations or meet the USCF rating requirement. Every USCF member will have a provisional rating published after their first four games, and an established rating published after their first 25 games. Based on 25 OTB games, if a student’s USCF OTB rating reaches the next level requirement or passes the evaluation test at the end of the session, the student can be promoted to the next level.
- Class Tuition and Credit Policy
No refunds or make ups will be given for tardiness and leaving class early. Students may be withdrawn from the program without refund if they are disruptive to the class for disciplinary reasons or if they are not picked up promptly at the end of the class.
