Section 7-2 – Tuition Collection
1. Tuition payments are made through FACTS Tuition Management.
2. Enrollment in a FACTS payment plan is mandatory. You must register with FACTS and maintain a valid account that remains in good standing and not past due. Failure to maintain a valid account that is in good status will impact enrollment at Bishop Alemany High School.
3. A late fee of $30.00 will be assessed by FACTS if any payment is not received within your established payment due date.
4. A non-sufficient funds fee of $25.00 will be added to all returned payments.
5. All tuition must be directly debited through FACTS from a bank account or credit card.
6. FACTS will attempt a payment three (3) times. If a payment is returned a third time, it will be come unresolved and FACTS will no longer attempt to collect that payment. In this case, the payment must be made in cash at the campus Tuition Office immediately.
DELINQUENT TUITION
Bishop Alemany High School is a tuition-based, private Catholic school. We acknowledge, admire and appreciate the sacrifices our families make to provide their children with an excellent, high-quality Catholic education. In order to maintain the financial integrity of our institution and uphold the standards of academic excellence, we adhere to the following delinquent tuition policy:
30 Days Past Due: Accounts over 30 days past due are no longer in good standing and the status is in Default.
- At 30 days of delinquency, a notification will be sent to the responsible party/parties via phone call, email, or postal mail.
- It is critical that a family responds and properly communicates with the school to address past due accounts. If there is no response, the student may be asked to stay home and be suspended from school and extracurricular activities until the family communicates and the account is brought current.
60 Days Past Due: Accounts over 60 days past due are in Critical Default.
- After 60 days of delinquency, the responsible party/parties will be contacted again to stress the urgency of the overdue balance. We expect the account to be addressed and brought current.
- For all accounts in Critical Default, enrollment at the school is in critical danger of being impacted. The school reserves the right to have the student remain at home and face suspension from school until the parent(s)/guardian(s) settle the account.
- Additionally, the school reserves the right to withhold participation in co-curricular activities, including but not limited to sporting events, dances, competitions, and other activities, until all financial obligations are resolved.
- If tuition payments become over 60 days delinquent, all monies received must first be applied to tuition to bring the account current. The Business Office will notify coaches or staff when payments for extracurricular activites are reallocated towards outstanding tuition.
90 Days Past Due: After 90 days of delinquency, the following steps may be implemented:
- Students may not attend school or engage in any school activities.
- Students may be required to withdraw from the school.
- Academic records, including transcripts and diplomas, may be placed on hold, preventing enrollment until the outstanding balance is resolved. Students will not be able to attend graduation exercises and other important school events. Diplomas will be on hold and will not be provided unless the account is current. This can be problematic now or years from now if ever a need to contact the school for proof of the diploma.
- Access to campus facilities and services will be on hold until payment is made. Families awarded financial aid must consult their acceptance letter for details on how delinquent tuition can impact any current financial awards and be revoked.
What do I do if I am experiencing financial challenges in making tuition payments? The reality is that Bishop Alemany High School is a private, tuition-based school and we do require your tuition payments to attend. We do understand that families sometimes experience financial difficulties. If so, it is crucial to reach out to our Tuition Office to discuss, get information and bring the account current. For assistance, please email tuition@alemany.org.
TUITION ADJUSTMENT POLICY FOR NON-COMPLETION OF SEMESTER
Tuition, registration and fees are non-refundable. If a student withdraws or is dismissed, the parent(s) or guardian(s) are responsible for paying the full year tuition and fees. If you have any concerns regarding any outstanding balance, please contact the Director of Finance in the Business Office.
