Before you decide

Good to know about the fees.

Mid-year entry is prorated by term

When agreed in advance prior to enrollment, one term is 50% of full year tuition and two terms is 75%. Pro-ration does not apply to unplanned withdrawals or non-attendance once a student is enrolled.

Late payments carry a monthly fee

Late fees of 1.5% per month are assessed on all past due invoices. Significantly past due accounts may result in student withdrawal.
