Financial Policies

• Students are registering for the full academic year, Sept. 7, 2011 through May 17, 2012. The full academic year is based on a 32-week formula. Winter and spring breaks are accounted for in this formula, therefore tuition does not adjust during these months.

• Payments should be made at the location where student takes class.

• A one-time registration fee of $25 per student and first payment are due on or before the first week of classes.

• Open Division students have no registration fee. Class cards may be purchased individually or at a discounted rate for class cards of 5, 10, or 20 classes.

• If you are making one payment for the full year, tuition is due on Sept. 11, 2011.

• Semester payments are due September 11, 2011 and January 11, 2012.

• Monthly payments are due on or before the 5th of each month for eight installments from September 2010 through April 2011.

• KCBS highly encourages enrolling in our automatic credit card payment plan. The card is run automatically on the 5th of the month. Credit card information is NOT kept on file from year to year; information must be updated upon registration.

• Direct pay checks sent from your bank must include your child’s full name, class level and must be mailed to the location where student takes classes.

• A $15.00 service charge is assessed for monthly payments received after the 5th of each month and for semester or yearly payments paid after their due dates per student.

• A $30.00 charge may be assessed for each returned check and declined credit card transaction per student.

• Students with two consecutive months of unpaid accounts will not be admitted to class until their account is paid up.

• Posting of tuition payments will be limited during school vacation periods.

• Enrollment in the school is based on a full-year session of 32 weeks, excluding winter break and spring break.

• There are NO refunds and tuition cannot be rolled over to another program or session.

Class Withdrawal & Re-Enrollment
You MUST withdraw from classes in writing by the 5th of the month or you will be held liable for the entire month’s payment. If you wish to re-enroll in your class, a re-enrollment form must be completed and turned in by the 5th of the month. A form may be obtained from the School offices or online.
