Tuition Accounts
April is the final month for tuition payments. Please be aware that accounts in arrears may be assessed a $25 late charge and experience delays and/or holds in student records including a delay in receiving their class schedules for the coming school year.

Parent Service Hours
Parent service hours for freshmen, sophomores and juniors must be completed each school year by May 1 and reported by May 15. All required hours must be performed to avoid the $300 non-participation fee. If you have not completed all of your hours, please submit a check for $300 to the St. Francis High School Finance Department by the end of May, or you may call Michael Gallo, Student Fiscal Services, 737-5042, to authorize payment by EFT.

Final Exams (Non-seniors)
Clearance cards for final exams are distributed in homeroom many days prior to exams.
In order for students to receive a clearance card and be eligible to take final exams, all financial obligations must be paid. Financial obligations include overdue library and guidance books, returned checks, unpaid tuition, and other outstanding fees. The replacement fee for a lost clearance card is $2. Please contact Michael Gallo, Student Fiscal Services, 737-5042, if there is a problem or question.

Special Note to Seniors
Seniors and their parents are reminded that ALL financial obligations (great and small) must be taken care of before seniors are permitted to participate in graduation exercises, receive graduation gowns, take exams, etc.

For the 2008-2009 school year, the payment options are:

• Check or Money Order:
  • Annual Payment: $10,900 due July 1, 2008

Class of 2009 Senior Graduation Fee
Seniors are responsible for a senior fee of $150, which is due in November 2008 with your normal payment. (This is not to be confused with any Grad Night Party costs that are determined and collected by the parents on the Grad Night Committee.)

• Freshmen: due April 10
• Transfer Students: due at time of transfer
• Returning Students: due April 10

Tuition Payment Plans

Option 1  (Check, Money Order or Electronic Funds Transfer)

• Annual Payment Plan – due on or before July 1
• Semi-Annual Payment Plan – due on or before July 1 and on or before November 1.

Option 2 (Electronic Funds Transfer Only)

• Quarterly Payment Plan – due July, September, November and February
• 10-Month Plan – due July through April

Refund Policies

• Students who withdraw from the school voluntarily will be expected to pay for the academic quarter in which they are enrolled. 
  
• Students who are expelled from school will be expected to pay on a daily rate by quarter. For example, if a student’s last day of attendance is five days from the end of the third quarter, the student’s family will be expected to pay for three-quarters of the annual tuition less 5 days of tuition. This policy differs from the one stated above because the student is not leaving the school voluntarily.

Transfers

• Students who enroll in the school during the academic year will be charged on a daily rate per quarter. For example, a student enrolling with ten days remaining in a third quarter will be charged 10 days for the third quarter tuition and all of the fourth quarter tuition.

Late Fees

• Annual & Semi Payment Plan – A late fee of $25 will be charged for payments received after the 15^th of the month.

Returned Check Fees and Insufficient Funds Fees

• Option 1 and Option 2 Payment Plans – A returned check fee of $25 will be charged for payments that are returned or rejected for insufficient funds or checks returned for any reason.
