FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Tuition charges continue until the student is officially withdrawn. Tuition will be pro-rated for students who withdraw for any reason. Notify the office as soon as you know the withdrawal date. When a student's records are requested at the time of withdrawal, the account must be paid in full; then the student's records will be mailed to the new school.

TUITION PAYMENT OPTIONS

CCA offers several options for paying tuition. They include the following:

1. Annual tuition payment – generally due in June (date determined yearly). A discount is generally available for this payment option (discount determined yearly).

2. Semi-Annual tuition payment – generally due in June and December (dates determined yearly). A discount is generally available for this payment option (discount determined yearly). This option is available for late enrollees who pay the first semi-annual payment by October 1 (date may vary from year to year).

3. CCA offers a variety of payment plans through the FACTS Tuition Management Company. To avoid any up-front payments parents should choose either an 11 or 12 month option. Anyone choosing to use FACTS Tuition who fails to sign up in a timely fashion will be required to make appropriate tuition/consolidated fee payments before attending class. FACTS offers both automatic withdrawal and credit card options to secure these payments.

Please contact the Business Office for any additional information you need on these payment options.

DELINQUENT TUITION ACCOUNTS

If at any time you are unable to meet your financial obligations, please contact the business office to see if a plan can be arranged that will enable your student to continue at CCA. In order to stop or make a change in a FACTS tuition payment, please contact the Business Office seven (7) business days prior.

Any family agreeing to an annual or semi-annual payment who fails to make payment in a timely fashion will:

1. Not be eligible for the appropriate discount.

2. Be required to make the appropriate payment when contacted by the Business Office or establish a FACTS tuition agreement to allow their student(s) to continue at CCA.

Any family agreeing to a monthly plan under the auspices of FACTS Management who fails to maintain sufficient funds will, after the third attempt for collection by FACTS (approximately a 30-day time period), be required to make financial arrangements with the Business Office. Failure to do so in a timely fashion will jeopardize the continued enrollment of your student(s).

No kindergarten or twelfth grade students will be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony unless the account is paid in full. Graduation fees will be charged on the March statement.

No student will be allowed to return to classes after Christmas Break if the account is not current.

No student may begin the school year unless tuition payment plans are in place, and any outstanding balances from the past school year have been paid.

NON-TUITION ACCOUNT

The tuition payment options above do not cover day-to-day school expenses such as lunch accounts, sports fees, aftercare/academic study hall fees, and other miscellaneous expenses incurred during the school year. The school will maintain non-tuition accounts for each student.

Invoices will be sent out on the first of each month and will be past due after the 15th.

If payment is not received by the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, a late fee, not to exceed $20.00, will be added on the sixteenth (16st) day.

Any questions concerning accounts should be directed to the Business Office.

GENERAL FINANCE POLICIES

If a student's account is not current at the conclusion of the school year or upon withdrawal, all official records will be held until payment is made in full.

A $25.00 service charge will be assessed for all returned checks. If an account has three returned checks, then the account must be paid by cash or certified check.

Any family receiving a McKay, ChildFirst, or VPK scholarship funds is responsible to keep tuition and non-tuition accounts current.

By law, we are required to notify the appropriate Scholarship Funding Office if payment arrangements are not met or attendance is out of compliance. The Scholarship Funding Office reserves the right to rescind a scholarship if a parent is delinquent or fails to pay owed monies. A late fee will be charged to your monthly statement if the scholarship checks are not signed within 2 weeks of notification.
