Program Policy Questions

A calm, practical guide for explaining academic calendar, billing, cancellation, and enrollment policies when families have reasonable questions.

Core Framing

Families will sometimes ask hard or practical questions about billing, breaks, cancellations, and calendar timing. The goal is not to over-explain or defend the policy. The goal is to validate the question, explain the structure clearly, and point them to the right next step when needed.

  • Untapped is a membership program, not hourly tutoring.
  • Monthly billing is smoothed across the program term instead of changing month by month.
  • Scheduled breaks and blackout dates are already built into the program structure.
  • Academic year coaching starts before many schools begin so students can prepare before pressure builds.
  • Do not promise exceptions, refunds, or prorated adjustments live on a call.
  • When needed, direct families to the appropriate program lead or billing contact.

Common Questions

Tone to Hold

These questions are reasonable. Families are trying to understand what they are committing to. Stay calm, validate the question, explain the structure clearly, and bring in the right person when the conversation moves into exceptions, refunds, or billing decisions.
