Students who withdraw prior to the end of the school year are financially responsible for all tuition. Notification is required and must be submitted to the Principal. Tuition must be current and up-to-date before the withdrawal process can begin. If your account is not in good standing, school records will not be sent to the new school and your past-due balance will be sent to collections. Enrollment/re-enrollment fees are not considered tuition payments and will not be refunded in the event of a withdrawal. There is no tuition refund for students expelled for disciplinary reasons.

Because expenses are incurred from the moment that students are enrolled, families must be responsible for all or a portion of tuition upon withdrawal. The following schedule outlines the amount of tuition due based on the timing of withdrawal:

• Withdrawal prior to July 1st - no tuition is due.
• Withdrawal from July 1st to the first day of school - 25% of tuition is due.
• Withdrawal between the first day of school and November 1st - 50% of tuition is due.
• Withdrawal between November 1st to February break - 75% of tuition is due.
• Withdrawal from the return of February break through the end of the school year - 100% of tuition is due.

In the interest of fairness to all our families struggling to send their children to a Catholic school, and for us to keep our school financially viable, we must ensure that all tuition obligations are met as planned. If unforeseen financial difficulties arise, families should contact the Finance Office immediately to arrange alternate payment plans, if necessary.

Saint Bridget School has a history of working in good faith with families in need, but families are in turn, obligated to communicate with Saint Bridget School in committing to the stated tuition plans or agreeing to an acceptable plan in the event of financial difficulties. Families who fail to pay tuition and are more than 60 days past due, or who have been unwilling to make alternative arrangements, will be notified that their past due tuition balance will be sent to collections.

• Please do not wait for Saint Bridget School to contact you to take action.
• Students will not be registered or re-enrolled for the next school year if all financial obligations are not kept up-to-date for the current school year.
• Students will not receive Financial Aid for the next school year if all financial obligations are not kept up-to-date for the current school year.
• Student transcripts will be withheld if all financial obligations are not met for the current school year.

If your payment is returned to FACTS because of insufficient funds, FACTS will attempt to take your payment for up to two (2) more times on the next available payment date. You will be charged a returned payment fee of $30.00 from FACTS. FACTS will notify you when the returned payment will reattempt along with the fee. (For example, a returned July 5th payment will reattempt on July 20th and will incur a monthly $30.00 returned payment fee, and if returned again will reattempt August 5th resulting in two (2) monthly returned payments fees of $30.00 – July & August).  If a payment is returned to FACTS two (2) times, you must sign onto your FACTS account and make a payment manually and immediately.
