SAINT DOMINIC ACADEMY TUITION POLICY
(Updated August 30, 2021)

The process of tuition collection is an essential component of the business operations of the Saint Dominic Academy. All efforts at tuition collection must be consonant with the mission of the Academy and undertaken in a pastoral manner.

Tuition Collection with FACTS Management

Saint Dominic Academy contracts with FACTS Management to administer all billing and tuition collection. Cash receipts for tuition payments will be received by FACTS. Each student needs to be enrolled online.  The enrollment fee is $160 per student until March 9th of each year.  The fee is $320 per student after March 9.  The business office will then establish a FACTS account for new families and re-activate accounts of current families. All new families must activate their FACTS account by April 30th.

FACTS will receive all tuition payments and begin pulling funds from checking/saving accounts by June 5th or 20th, depending on the chosen pull date. The business office collaborates with FACTS to monitor tuition payment according to the schedule chosen. The business office will be the primary liaison with FACTS. The business office will reconcile FACTS disbursements on a biweekly basis.

Delinquent Tuition Accounts

The Director of Enrollment and the Principal(s) will meet on a monthly basis to monitor delinquent accounts and develop strategies to collect outstanding balances. The frequency of meetings will increase biweekly during the months of February, March, April, and May. In the event an account has not been activated by April 30th for the upcoming school year, reminders are sent to the responsible parent/guardian.

Saint Dominic Academy understands that unforeseen circumstances may occur resulting in late tuition payments and requests that timely notice is made to the school so that a mutually beneficial solution can be determined.

Saint Dominic Academy seeks to identify tuition collection issues early, communicate with families via phone, email, and letters and work with families in a fair and equitable manner to collect tuition.

Saint Dominic Academy has established the following sanctions for delinquent tuition accounts:

Prior to the beginning of classes:

• Late as of August 5th: student is not permitted to attend classes.

After the beginning of the school year:

• 30 days late: a phone call and letter from the business office.

• 45 days late: letter sent to the family regarding delinquency

• 60 days late: student is not permitted to participate in extra-curricular activities and interscholastic athletics and will not be permitted to sit for first semester exams.

Additionally, after the beginning of the second semester:

• 90 days late: students not permitted to attend classes.

• After April 30: student not permitted to sit for final exams

Withdrawal Policy

Students must follow procedures set by the Guidance & Business offices regarding the withdrawal from a class or the school. Academic records will be sent when procedures and obligations have been met. Any parent who enrolls their student at Saint Dominic Academy agrees to be responsible for 50% of their net tuition (after financial aid and scholarships) until the first day of school, 80% from November 1, and 100% on December 1 to the end of the school year.

Exceptions to the above withdrawal policy are made at the sole discretion of the Principal.

How to Apply for Financial Aid
