Tuition There is no charge for tuition except in the case of private music lessons, voice and piano. Those desiring to pursue work along these lines will be referred to an accredited li st of music teachers whose charges for private lessons are reasonabl e, and to whom the student makes payment direct. Registration Fee There is a r egistration fee of $10.00 each semester, payable on registration day before the student's class schedule is made out. T he Cashier's r eceipt must be presented to the Registrar. No fee is refunded in case of a student leaving before the end of a semester. T he registration fee takes care of such expenses as the maintenance of t he Student Employment Bureau, Hospita l Fund and the service of the School Nurse in cases not r equiring hospital care. Where the student must go to the hospital, the Fund will defray the charge for room and board in one of the best hospitals in the city, to an amount not exceeding $80.00. T hi s does not include physicians' fees, charges for surgical operations, ambulance serv ice, or medicines. Maternity cases, or ill ness due to chronic conditions existing before entering the Institute, or accidents due to careless uess or reckl essness, will not entitle a student to the privileges of the Fund. In case of an epidemic the Fund will be us·ed as far as it wi ll go, when a further contribution will be necessary. Expense of Room and Board The present rate for room and board is $8.50 a week, payable in advance. Owing to th e uncertainty of market conditions, th is rate is subject to change from time to time. The Institute a ims to charge students only the actua l cost fo r board and room. The rooms in the Institute are single rooms, comfor tably furnis hed, lighted, heated and supp lied with running water, hot and cold. The Institute supplies the linens and launders th e same. Students take care of their rooms. Excellent table board is pro vided in the Inst itute dining room. The students wait on the tables. Employment and Financial Aid We strongly advise that students entering for the first time should have sufficient fund s to carry them through at least the first semester, approximately $160.00 for board and room. P ersonal expenditures beyond this amount shou ld a lso be estimated for. For the benefit of students needing some help in defraying t hei r expenses, t he Institute mainta ins a Student Employment Bureau, through which many students are placed in positions for part-time work. Many students can give two or three hours a day to remunerative employment in stores and restaurants, and by carefully budgeting their time can maintain their standing in classes. Wher e considerable time is necessary in employment the student may be r equired to take a reduced schedule and thus prolong hi s t ime of study at the Ins t itute befo re graduation. Diplomas Dip lomas will be granted upon the fo llowing condit ions: 1. Two or more years' residence in Los Angeles with at least one semester 's residence in the Institute building. The regular schedule calls for fifteen curr icular hours of classroom work per week. This a ll ows fifteen semester hours credit each semester.
