TUITION PAYMENT PLAN/POLICIES
Tuition will be paid based on a ten month or twelve month payment schedule. Tuition must be paid via automatic withdrawal (ACH) from your checking account. You may designate to have this
transaction occur on either the first or the fifteenth of each
month. The selection must remain
constant for the current school year. If a transaction date
falls on a weekend or a holiday, the transaction will occur the next business day. Any transaction which is denied for non-sufficient funds
will be resubmitted only once. Any additional NSF transactions
will result in all future payments being made in cash and due on the first of each month. Tuition not paid when due will result in the student(s) being withheld from class. If a major change in
financial status occurs, the responsible party must contact the Parish Business Manager in advance of the next due date to make an appointment to discuss other payment arrangements. The school will not issue reports cards, diplomas or transfer transcripts until tuition is paid. The ACH forms are due prior to enrollment. No student will be officially enrolled without completion and submission of the document. If you are accepted into school past July, you are responsible for paying those months up front, and then will be put on automatic withdrawal through May. Those who pay in full by July 15th will receive a discount as published. Families receiving financial assistance from the parish are not entitled to the discount.
