TUITION PAYMENT POLICY
2010-2011 School Year
Tuition Payments
The student’s parents or guardians must fill up and sign a Tuition Agreement form by April 16, 2010, the deadline for enrollment. The Tuition Agreement form is available at the main office. A $200 tuition deposit must be paid upon submission of the Tuition Agreement form to save the flexible tuition and the student's place.
Late Payment and Fee
Payments received after the due date will be assessed a $25.00 late fee for each month that the payment is late.
Delinquent Accounts – Administrative Suspension
Student accounts that become past due by an amount equal to two months' tuition bill will, upon notification, be placed on Administrative Suspension. A student who is on Administrative Suspension is not allowed to attend classes and is subject to all academic regulations. The tuition account must be settled before the student can return to school.
Administrative Suspension is also applicable to the following:
- At the beginning of the second semester – any unpaid first semester balance puts the student under Administrative Suspension. The tuition account must be paid up by the first school day in January or the student will not be allowed to attend second semester classes.
- On last payment due date in May, if the student’s tuition account, regardless of amount, is not paid in full by the last payment due date.
Students with past due accounts may not be permitted to receive yearbooks, report cards, nor have final examination grades processed until their accounts have been cleared. Seniors with past due accounts may not receive graduation cap & gown, be excluded from the graduation ceremony, and not receive their diploma until their account has been cleared. Returning students with unpaid accounts will not be allowed to re-enter the next school year until their account has been paid in full.
Return Check Policy
A return check fee of $25.00 is assessed, if a check is returned to us from your bank. Thereafter, all tuition payments must be made at the school office in cash, money order, or your approved Visa or MasterCard ATM/Credit Card. The replacement payment must be made immediately after notification.
Withdrawn Students
Students who do not complete the full-year of classes are considered withdrawn. The amount of tuition due is calculated based on the number of school days up to the date of withdrawal, as a percentage of the total school days for the year (180 days). Any tuition balance due is payable immediately. Any overpaid tuition will be refunded.
Refund Policy
For withdrawn students, refunds are mailed at least two weeks after the official advice of withdrawal is received.
For graduating seniors, any credit balance at the end of the school year will be refunded.
For returning students, any credit balance left on the tuition account will be applied to the following school year’s tuition. The parent or guardian may request for a refund if preferred.
Refunds are paid to the parent/s or guardian/s who signed the Tuition Agreement.
Unpaid Balances
Accounts that remain unpaid by June 30th will be processed for collection through an outside agency. Withdrawn students whose accounts remain unpaid for over three (3) months will be referred to an outside collection agency. Outside collection agencies report outstanding accounts to the credit bureaus. The unpaid tuition account can appear as a delinquent debt and may affect the parent or guardian’s credit rating.
