An Enrollment Deposit is due with the completed Enrollment
Contract: Please note that the deposit is non-refundable and will be credited toward total tuition. Contracts submitted without the full deposit will be incomplete, and the student’s place cannot be held.
Terms of Account: Family accounts with the School must be kept current. An account will be considered current if it is paid by the due dates noted under the tuition payment options. The School may charge a late payment fee of 2% as well as 1.5% interest per month on delinquent accounts. Grades and transcripts may be withheld for the student whose family accounts are not kept current. Failure to meet payment schedules in a timely manner may result in the suspension of the student and such a suspension shall not constitute a breach of the Enrollment Contract by the School. In the event of a default in payment, families agree to be responsible for all costs of collection including reasonable attorneys’ fees. If an unpaid balance exists, the student will not be considered as having completed the academic year.
Tuition Refund Plan: The School makes available and
strongly recommends participation in the
Tuition Refund Plan (TRP). A TRP is used to ensure the School receives all expected tuition dollars and to protect families from paying their full net tuition costs in cases of unforeseen withdraw from Allendale Columbia School. Families using the TRP in effect pay a prorated net tuition cost if their student is required to withdraw. The TRP cost will be billed to participants at a rate of 3.9% of the tuition amount listed with the payment option selected.
Medical Insurance: The School requires all international students to provide proof of medical insurance that is valid in the United States.
