The Shankar Mahadevan Academy Attendance & Make-Up Class Policy
At Academy, we’re committed to helping every student stay on track and succeed - even when life gets busy! Our attendance and make-up policy is designed to give you flexibility and support throughout your learning journey.
Attendance Expectations
We encourage all students to attend every class to get the most out of their learning experience. Regular attendance ensures steady progress and a strong foundation for future levels.
Free Make-Up Classes
We understand that sometimes you may need to miss or reschedule a class - and that’s okay!
Each student receives free make-up classes based on their course duration.
- 12-Week Course: 2 free make-up classes
- Less than 12-Week Course: 1 free make-up class
You can use these:
- To make up for a missed session, or
- To reschedule a class in advance if you know you’ll be away.
Carry Forward Unused Make-Ups
Didn’t use your free make-up classes? No problem! You can carry forward up to 4 unused make-up classes to your next course. This helps you build a small cushion of flexibility for future schedules.
Carry Forward Unused Make-Ups
If you’ve used all your free and carry-forward make-ups, you can still purchase additional make-up sessions as needed.
This ensures you never fall behind - no matter what comes up.
Add-On Classes for Course Completion
At the end of each course, your instructor will review your progress and may recommend a few add-on classes to help you strengthen specific skills before moving to the next level.
Here’s the good news:
- If you still have free make-up classes available, they’ll automatically be used first.
- You’ll only need to purchase the remaining Add-on classes (if any).
For example:
If your teacher recommends 2 add-on classes and you have 1 make-up class left, we’ll schedule 1 free make-up and you’ll only purchase 1 add-on class.
Our Promise
Our goal is to make your learning experience smooth, flexible, and encouraging.
We’re here to support your progress — every class, every step of the way!
