Redeemer Lutheran College 2015 Fees Notice Financial Policies Relating to Fees Enrolment Registration Fee A registration fee of $150 per student is payable to the College upon submission of an Application for Enrolment. The fee is non-refundable and is not offset against College fees. Enrolment Confirmation Fee An enrolment confirmation fee of $550 per student is payable to the College upon your child’s acceptance at the College. These monies will be offset against your first term’s tuition fees. It is important to note that the enrolment confirmation will be forfeited if the student’s enrolment is cancelled before commencement at the College. Refundable Enrolment Deposit (RED) When a place is offered, parents are required to sign an Enrolment Agreement and pay a Refundable Enrolment Deposit (RED) of $500, which confirms the place for the student. The enrolment deposit is payable once only per family. The enrolment deposit is refundable when the last student in the family leaves the College, after all accounts have been finalised, hire books, library books and all College resources returned. No interest is payable on this money. It is important to note that the enrolment deposit will be forfeited if the student’s enrolment is cancelled before commencement at the College, or applied against fees in lieu of notice if a student is withdrawn without one term’s notice in writing to the College. The enrolment deposit must be paid prior to the student commencing. Payment of College Fees College fees are due and payable for each term on the dates outlined in the Fee Schedule. If this is not done and fees are not paid on time, a fee may be charged to recover the related administration costs. College fees are effective from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015. The College reserves the right to change the fee schedule at any time. The College may grant an extension of time for payment only if there are exceptional circumstances outside of the parents’ control. A request for such an extension of time for payment shall be made in writing; email is acceptable, to the Business Manager. The College reserves the right to withhold College reports and/or Year 12 exit certificates if fees remain unpaid at the end of the term. The College may terminate the enrolment of a student if fees remain unpaid at the end of the period for which the fees are due. It is important to note when your fees are due. The dates of payment change from year to year, so please take a moment to acquaint yourself with the new dates. There are also different payment dates depending on if you are paying via direct debit or credit card. You must fill in the attached Fees Payment Worksheet; they DO NOT carry over from year to year.
