Admissions
TUITION POLICIES PAYMENT IN ADVANCE Tuition is payable in advance by the year or by the semester with no service charge. Tuition may be paid in 4 payments or 24 equal payments with a one-time service charge of $45 or $100 respectively. The first payment is due on June 1st. Select your payment plan carefully. Changes will not be allowed after May 1st. RECEIPT FOR PAYMENTS/BILLING STATEMENTS A receipt will be issued only for payments made in cash. LATE FEE Payments are due on the 1st of the month and are considered late after the 16th of the month. Payments received after the 16th of the month will be charged a late fee of $30 for that month. There is an additional charge of $15 for each month that the payment is late. If the 16th of the month falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the payment must be received in the Tuition Office the following Monday. A late fee of $30 will be assessed on elective courses not paid for by the due date of November 16th. For second semester elective courses the due date is February 16th. Partial payments of tuition due without written approval will be billed a late fee if the remaining balance is not paid by the 16th of the month. In order to avoid late fees, a special arrangement including a signed promissory note may be made in advance with the Finance Office. DIRECT DEBIT PAYMENT (ACH DEBIT) All parents are required to pay tuition and fees by direct debit. The Authorization Agreement for Direct Payment must be completed for this purpose. Parents who elect to pay tuition semi-monthly will be debited on the 1st and 16th of each month. CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS Credit card transactions will only be accepted as payment for parent pledges. SUSPENSION FOR UNPAID TUITION If the tuition payments become two (2) months in arrears, the school may suspend the right of a student to attend or participate in classes, activities, or field trips and may continue that suspension until such time as the debt is cleared. No assignments, tests, or class work that occurs or is due during the period of suspension may be made up by the student. EXAMINATION PERMITS Permits for semester examinations are issued only to students whose accounts are paid up-to-date. Final examinations missed in whole or in part for any reason other than illness, including uncleared financial accounts of any kind, may not be made up. RETURNED ITEM POLICY A returned check fee of $25 will be charged for any check that is not cleared through the bank (bounced check). The same policy applies for Direct Payment (ACH Debit). The school reserves the right to refuse personal checks after a second occurrence of returned checks. WITHDRAWALS Beginning with the first day of classes, parents/guardians are responsible for each semester's full tuition charges. In addition to the non-refundable enrollment fee, if a student withdraws after July 1 and before the first day of classes, the parent/guardian is responsible for the first month's tuition. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF $500 if a student withdraws after June 1 or at any time during the first semester. A withdrawal form must be completed and submitted to the Principal’s Office in order to process requests for transcript and health records. The student is considered enrolled until the completed withdrawal form is received by the school. ENROLLMENT FEE is NOT refundable and serves as the deposit to enroll the student. ONLY WHEN THE ENROLLMENT FEE AND THE FINANCIAL FORMS ARE RECEIVED WILL YOUR DAUGHTER BE GUARANTEED A PLACE. Ramona Convent reserves the right to request the withdrawal of students who do not maintain satisfactory scholarship or who fall short of the standards of conduct which the school has established. In such cases, the parents are responsible for the full charges for the semester in which the withdrawal takes place. |
