TUITION PAYMENT OPTIONS

When a MDS Family Account is created, the family may access their account through the Parent Portal, found on our website, marlo@marlodance.com.  The Parent Portal allows the family, to update their account information, view all transactions, and record absences.  Each account opened will require a credit card on file.

Families now have the following 4 monthly tuition payment options:

1. ACH (bank transfer).   
2. Physical Checks payable to MarLo Dance Studio.  Due by the 8^th.  If not received by the 8^th, automatic billing to credit card on file may occur.
3. Visa/Mastercard (2% Surcharge).
4. 3% DISCOUNT is offered by semester or in full (Sept-Dec, Jan-April).  For discount,  payment method is limited to check or by ACH.  Contact Miss Maria 541-252-1394, who will set this up for you. 

You may opt to have both ACH and multiple credit cards set up on file for your convenience.

With our new system you may further prioritize your preferred method of payment for auto-billing.  

We are sorry that we cannot accept cash for tuition due to our tight teaching schedule.  We do not have a dedicated cashier to handle receipts.  Small items, like tihgts may be paid with cash.
