REFUNDS: As stated in the Enrollment and Tuition Agreement, enrollment is a commitment for the entire year and to full tuition, and there is no provision for refund of tuition unless the Tuition Refund Plan is elected and payment of the plan is made prior to the start of School. With the Tuition Refund Plan, a refund of 60% of the unused net tuition is granted in case of withdrawal for any reason. Therefore, 100% of tuition is owed for the time the student is enrolled and 40% of the remainder of the year is due. The School strongly recommends election of the Tuition Refund Plan. Additional fees are not covered by Tuition Refund Plan. Page 1 of 5 Rvsd. 2/4/2016

2016-2017 Student Incidental Expenses PURPOSE: Incidentals may be expensed on the student s behalf for required school related items such as weekly allowance, books, school supplies, athletic goods, hygienic items, and other articles as may be required or allowed. Cash Advances are not allowed from this account. Parents must send checks directly to their child if extra money is required for personal use or weekend activities. It is recommended that students maintain a checking and/or savings account either at a hometown bank or a local bank to facilitate transfers of money between parents and students. The School Store is available to cash checks for students at no charge for up to $125. ALLOWANCES: Allowances of up to $50.00 per week are given to students per instructions from parents or guardians. The Incidental Account Authorization Form must be submitted online to SSM and the Incidental Account Deposit must be paid before any allowances or store charge purchases beyond essential items are allowed. In order to ensure that parents exercise as much control as possible over their students spending, NO CASH ADVANCES are issued. In order to provide regular weekly payments, an allowance card is made up for each student and this card is signed in person by the student receiving the money. Students may elect to accumulate their weekly allowances for up to four weeks as a means of safekeeping in the School Store. Past-accumulated allowances may be withdrawn in whole or in part at any time. Allowances will not accumulate when accounts are in arrears. DEPOSIT: At the beginning of the year, International students are required to submit a $3,000.00 Incidental Account deposit for the Student Incidental Account. If no advance deposit is made prior to school, the student will be on CASH ONLY status. BILLING: At the end of each statement period, the amount of allowances drawn and incidentals expensed during the period will be summarized and billed to the parent/guardian. The charges appear on a separate statement that can be accessed by the Parent/Guardian from a parent account in the student information system called PowerSchool. METHOD OF PAYMENT: In order to continue receiving allowances and incidental privileges, the student s account must be in good standing. After any Incidental Account deposit is used up, parents must provide payment monthly for all incidental balances. DELINQUENCY: 1. Students are placed on a cash-only purchase restriction until the entire past due balance is paid in full. This restriction does not allow a student to receive allowance, charge school activities, or purchase school store items on their account. The student may purchase items with cash, credit or debit card, and will be allowed to charge only essential health and educational items at the School s discretion. 2. Payments not received by the due date stated on the monthly statement will be accessed a $40 late charge. 3. The School may impose a FINANCE CHARGE of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) on unpaid past due balances in excess of one billing statement. Page 4 of 5 Rvsd. 2/4/2016
2016-2017 Student Incidental Expenses (continued) STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE: All students are required to provide proof of appropriate medical insurance coverage, either through a parent s policy or on his or her own, prior to the start of the school year. International families are strongly encouraged to purchase the medical health insurance coverage for International students that is endorsed by SSM. The cost for the 10 month insurance coverage for the 2016-2017 school year is estimated to be around $2,000. An exact price for this insurance coverage should be available to families by June 1. A form will be provided after enrollment is confirmed to request this coverage. The cost of that insurance will be applied to the student s June statement, and will need to be paid in full before the student arrives on campus. The School reserves the right to have a student return home or limit a student's participation in any School activities until proof of coverage is provided. TEXTBOOKS: Students are responsible for the purchase of their textbooks and classroom supplies which may be handled through the School Store. At the end of each year, a returning student may choose to keep their books or may choose to consign the books to the School Store for sale. Upon the book s sale that fall, the student s account will be credited to offset the new School year book purchases. If the book does not sell, the Store will keep the book for up to two years. A senior or a non-returning student may choose to keep their books or they may donate them to the Annual Fund; students will receive a tax-deductible receipt indicating their gift. OTHER FEES: Other fees, such as Transportation fees, Commercial laundry fees, and dry cleaning fees can be located on the www.s-sm.org website. Please note these fees are subject to change Page 5 of 5 Rvsd. 2/4/2016
