Certificate of Eligibility to transfer (Transferees)
TUITION PAYMENT AND REFUNDS
When a student registers, it is understood that he/she is enrolling for the entire year.
In previous school years, no discount was allowed for annual payment of tuition fees. Instead surcharges for installment payment were computed equal to cost of money.
In consideration for parent’s concern for increasing cost of education, the school has approved the following discount incentives for mode of payment on tuition fees effective 2003-2004:
a. 8% discount for full annual payment b. 4% discount for full semi-annual payment
No discount will be granted for monthly payment but there will be a daily surcharge or penalty for delayed payment at the rate pf Php 5.00/day. All monthly payments are due every 1st day of the month.
When a student transfers or otherwise withdraws, in writing within the first week of classes, and has already paid the pertinent tuition and other fees in full or for any period longer than one (1) month, he may be charged 10% of the total amount due for the year. If he withdraws within the second week of classes regardless of whether or not he has actually attended classes, he may be charged 20% of the school fees. He may be charged all the fees in full if he withdraws anytime after the second week. However, if the transfer or withdrawal is for justifiable reasons, he will be charged the pertinent fees only up to and including the last month of attendance.
