⬤ Only offered if extra ice time is available for the test session – late registrations will not be accepted for “full” sessions, but the skater may opt to be placed on the waiting list.

⬤ A late fee of $25 applies per test added to the schedule after the posted registration deadline.

⬤ Skater must contact the test chair to register (test chair will enter registration online after fees are collected).

⬤ A waiting list may be maintained by the test chair for skaters who were unable to register before a session filled up.

⬤ No fees will be due unless the skater’s test can be accommodated – if the skater is able to test, their test fees can be paid at the time of their test.

⬤ The schedule will be posted (on the club’s bulletin board at the rink, the club website, and on Facebook) at least one week prior to the scheduled test session.

⬤ The schedule is subject to minor changes at any time – please check the schedule immediately prior to the session for any changes that may affect you.

⬤ Completing online registration does NOT guarantee that a skater’s test will make it onto the published schedule. If AFSC is unable to accommodate a skater’s scheduled test (due to an incomplete judging panel, lack of ice time, etc) then the skater may opt to transfer their test to the next available test session or receive a full refund.

⬤ The schedule allows for a little extra time in the event of any re-skated elements, and this time is often not utilized, so it is VERY common for test sessions to run ‘ahead’ of schedule, often as much as 20-30 minutes by end of the session, and you should be ready and prepared to take the ice earlier than anticipated.

⬤ Refunds for tests prior to the registration deadline will be given at the discretion the test chair. A $10 administrative fee per test will be deducted from any refund given.

⬤ After registration for a session has closed, any cancellation requested by a skater for a medical reason such as injury or illness must be received at least 48 hours in advance of the test session, and be accompanied by a physician’s note for a refund to be considered. Cancellation requests received with less than 48 hours notice will not be refunded.

⬤ Cancellation for any non-medical reason after registration has closed cannot be refunded.

⬤ If AFSC is unable to accommodate a skater’s scheduled test (due to an incomplete judging panel, lack of ice time, etc) the skater may opt to transfer their test to the next available test session or receive a full refund.

⬤ ALL skaters must arrive at least 45 minutes prior to their scheduled group warm up (the first warmup group may arrive only 30 minutes prior to their warm-up time – the rink may not be opened/unlocked earlier than this).

⬤ Skaters must check in with the test chair or ice monitor upon arrival – this is also a good time to inquire about whether the schedule is running on time or not, and if there is an out of town judge fee due.

⬤ Skaters arriving late (or not at all) for their warm-up group will forfeit their test fees unless there is time to accommodate their test at the end of the session.

⬤ All skaters successfully completing a test level will receive a patch for the level passed. AFSC members who pass a FreeSkating test or complete a dance level on an AFSC test session will also receive a pin for the level passed.

⬤ Austin FSC will only award a Patch when a test is passed. If you are interested in purchasing a USFS Pin please view the prices here.
