PAYMENT POLICIES:
– Changes made to scheduled payments through FACTS must be made at least 5 business days in advance to allow for approval and accuracy.
– Tuition 30 days past due will result in the suspension of the student's class attendance until the balance is resolved.
– For the duration of time that there are any past due balances on tuition or fines, the family portal use will be restricted to limited access for those users until the balance is resolved.
– In the event of student withdrawal or expulsion, the remaining balance of tuition, fees, and fines is owed for the year unless the contract is “bought out,” per our “buy-out” policy. See below:
– Buy-out Policy: Any student withdrawn or expelled from LCS during any semester may “buy out” the remaining months owed for $500 per semester. Any current balance(s) for previously enrolled school days must be paid in full before being eligible for our “buy-out” policy.
