A Co-Signer Agreement is required for all students paying ASDA directly (ASDA Standard Plan & ASDA Extended Plan) An Auto-Debit Contract is also required for all students paying ASDA directly.

Students may choose to finance their Tuition through the American School of Dental Assisting. Registration Fee of $100 may not be financed. ASDA offers two different financing options to choose from: 6 and 12 month financing. All payments are due on a monthly basis, based on when class begins. The first payment is due the 2 nd week of class, and following payments are on a monthly schedule thereafter. The 6-month plan has 6 equal payments, and the 12-month plan has 12 equal payments. An Auto-Debit Contract is required to automatically deduct the student s payment from their credit card account when the payment is due. If credit card does not process payment, then the student is responsible for any and all bank fees related to insufficient funds, and the student is expected to restore the appropriate funds that day, or Late Fees are enforced. The student is responsible for arranging on time payment if a credit card is declined. For every day a payment is delinquent, a $10/day Late Fee is added to the student s balance. Late Fee s may NOT be financed, and MUST be paid in FULL prior to the next payment due date. All accounts that are delinquent for 30 days or more will be sent to a Collections Agency, and the student will not receive their Dental Assisting Certificate. Students may not attend class if their account is delinquent. A Co-Signer Agreement is required for all financing terms with ASDA.

8 Attendance Requirements A 100% rate of classroom attendance and punctuality will be required and ASDA reserves the right to dismiss those who do not abide by that standard. If a student is absent from a class, careful consideration will be given to the matter as to determine if the student can be excused (i.e. illness or death in the family). THIS IS A ONE HUNDRED HOUR COURSE Each student shall commit to the following in order to receive their training certificate and our letter of recommendation from Dental Assistant Training Academy: 1. Student CANNOT miss one day of the eleven-week session. 2. If student misses one day with an excused absence, student may make up that day at no charge.
