Tuition Payment and Financial Assistance Conditions: 2013 - 2014 School Year
A. SFCS maintains one billing account per student, into which charges for regular tuition, fees, optional programs (Stretch, Achievement Academy, Drivers Ed, and Summer School), and
Extra-Curricular fees are entered.
B. The Tuition Agreement is a legal contract with SFCS that must be signed by a Responsible Party upon enrollment; SFCS requires that only one person sign as Responsible Party to the contract. The Responsible Party is the person that receives the monthly billing statement, the person who is required to make payments (other individuals may place payments on the account,
but would not be considered the Responsible Party), the person with whom SFCS personnel communicate regarding billing/financial assistance issues, and the person who would be legally
responsible in the event of default. If a person other than the Responsible Party (ex-spouse, grandparent, or other unrelated individual or entity) desires to also assume financial responsibility,
he or she may sign a Payment Plan Contract and remit payments according to an agreed-upon schedule.
C. In order to qualify for the Catholic rate, families must be registered members of a Catholic Parish in Sioux Falls. The Non-Sioux Falls Catholic rate applies to families registered at Catholic
parishes outside of the city of Sioux Falls, and the Non-Catholic rate applies to all other families. Parish enrollment is verified annually.
D. Responsible parties may choose Annual (Cash, Check, or Credit Card), Semi-Annual (Cash, Check, or Credit Card), or 10-Month (ACH & Credit Card only) payment plans. Final balances will
be withdrawn (charged) in May for ACH and Credit Card customers unless an approved Payment Plan is on file in the Business Office. Finance charges accrue on the unpaid balance at 18%
per year, or 1.5% per month. A $30 fee is charged to accounts for return payment items. A Responsible Party is allowed two ACH or credit card cancellations during the year before alternate
payment method must be chosen. Cancellations to ACH/credit card payments must be in writing.
E. Charges for preschool and other optional programs are charged and required to be paid in advance, prior to the month of attendance. SFCS reserves the right to remove students whose
accounts for preschool and other optional programs become delinquent at any time.
F. P
articipation in extra-curricular programs may result in additional fees posted to the billing statement and due according to the chosen payment plan at the rate communicated by the
program director, regardless of whether a signed Addendum is on file.
G. If someone other than the Responsible Party enrolls a student into a program causing an unauthorized draw from the Responsible Party’s account, amounts drawn will be refunded to the
Responsible Party and the student will be withdrawn from the program until such time as the Responsible Party agrees to the charge or until such time as the extra charge is paid.
H. Changes to billable programs made after filing the original Tuition Agreement must be made in writing on an Addendum Form and signed by the Responsible Party. Prorated adjustments
to accounts are calculated as a ratio of the number of days enrolled over the total regular school days in the year, multiplied by the annual program rate. Adjustments are made only upon
adding, changing, or withdrawing from a program. There are no adjustments for illness, vacation days, or other days not attended. Special circumstances may apply.
I. If the Responsible Party desires SFCS to consider tuition assistance for his or her account(s), he or she must complete a TADs Financial Assistance Application, available either online or by
requesting a hard copy from the Business Office. The Business Office is responsible for distributing financial assistance, based on need and fairness of distribution, to families who apply each
year. TADs applications from the Responsible Party only are eligible for consideration. All financial assistance, including the work program, is only applied toward tuition balances. In the event
of early withdrawal or changes in attendance after the date of award, awarded amounts are prorated to the date of withdrawal/change. Financial assistance awarded to members of a family is
not transferrable to other families. There are no cash refunds for work performed or grants applied in excess of account balance.
J. SFCS Certificate Rebates are available for credit to a specified tuition account, at the direction of the purchaser, once annually in the spring. There are no cash refunds for unused Certificate
Rebates.
K. Failure to make tuition/fee payments according to the payment method chosen on the Tuition Agreement may result in restrictions in participation in academic and/or extra-curricular programs, testing, ability to participate in graduation or other recognition ceremonies, and access to report cards, diplomas, official transcripts of grades, and student portals in Infinite Campus.
Students whose accounts become delinquent may be removed at any time.
L. If accounts become delinquent, SFCS may request a Responsible Party to sign a Payment Plan Contract containing additional terms.
M. If accounts remain delinquent at the end of first semester, students will not be allowed to return unless a Responsible Party signs a Payment Plan Contract and makes an approved down
payment. Accounts must be paid in full prior to admittance to each new school year.
N. Siblings of students who graduated or withdrew owing a balance are not permitted to attend until those accounts are paid in full or recovered from the collection agent. The School reserves
the right to refuse re-admittance.
