Tuition Refund Plan
The Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) provides financial protection when a student is absent or withdrawn for reasons such as: serious accident; extended illness; dismissal; financial reverses; transfer of family; death of a parent. All students, including late admissions, must enroll in the TRP. Coverage begins following the 14 consecutive day qualification period.
Definitions
- All refunds are based on an academic year of thirty-one consecutive weeks or 275 consecutive days, including weekends, holidays and vacations within this time period.
- Withdrawal means a complete, voluntary severance from classes for the balance of the academic year. Dismissal means a complete, involuntary severance from classes by the School authorities for the balance of the academic year. Classes means days of formal academic instruction including examinations. Registration and orientation days are not class days.
- Temporary non-medical absences, temporary suspensions or change from resident to day status for any reason are not a basis for claim.
Terms of Coverage
Medical: From September 1, through the last day of the academic year.
Non-Medical: For the entire academic year after meeting fourteen day attendance requirement.
Not covered under the Plan
Under medical coverage:
- Illness which first manifested itself or accident which occurred before effective date of coverage.
- Any medical condition for which the student does not regularly receive legally qualified treatment.
- Refund period ends immediately upon student’s resumption of classes at any school or place of learning or upon becoming gainfully employed.
- War or act of war, declared or undeclared, participation in a riot.
- Except for epidemic closure as specified in the policy, inability of the School to operate and provide formal academic instruction, including closure for any reason.
Use of drugs (any drug or agent classified as a narcotic, hallucinogenic, psychedelic, or having similar classification or effects). Exception if drug or agent is administered under legally qualified medical procedures.
Under non-medical coverage:
- Any absence, withdrawal or dismissal prior to attending classes for the first fourteen consecutive days of the academic year.
- Withdrawal caused by insurrection, rebellion, riot, civil commotion or any government order directed to the students.
- War or act of war, declared or undeclared: any nuclear reaction, controlled or accident.
- Destruction of any School facility due to any cause whatsoever.
- Inability of the School to operate and provide formal academic instructions, including closure for any reason.
- Boycotting of classes.

Why is this plan important?
Parents should fully understand their annual financial obligation for tuition and other fees. Because commitments for salaries and maintenance are on an annual basis, the absence or withdrawal of a student does not reduce operating expenses. Therefore, most schools out of necessity must take the position that there can be neither refund of fees paid nor cancellation of unpaid fee obligations.
This means a parent makes a financial commitment for the full year. Unfortunately, some students do not complete their full year. Then, the protection afforded by this plan will be a welcomed resource. As enrolment in this plan is mandatory, a careful reading of this policy is recommended.
