All
Students:
I
understand that as a parent I am responsible for the
training of my child/children and will not hold Western Christian Academy
responsible for any lack of academic achievement
or progress. Therefore, the lack of communication or
academic progress may result in expulsion.
I
understand if I do not complete this Student Update
before my student's deadline that an annual registration fee of up to $125
is required.
I
understand ithat I am responsible to purchase any supplies
or equipment necessary for my student's science
projects. HS lab kits are available for purchase
on our website. Please call our office if you are
considering this option.
I
understand that units that require repeating due to a low
test score will have an additional cost.
If a student is found to be
cheating or shortcutting, that student will be required to be on Teacher Support. This means tuition costs will go up for the remainder of the academic
year and the Parent/Teacher will lose access to their Username and Password. No Exceptions!! Do not allow your students to access your username or password for any reason. Protect the security of your password to ensure academic integrity.
I
understand that all shipments must be opened and checked
immediately upon receipt, and that WCA is not responsible
to replace missing items after 10 days from the invoice
date.
I understand that no refunds
are given for registration and testing fees. Curriculum
refunds are as follows:
Withdrawal before curriculum sent 100%
Between 1-10 days of shipment or online setup
50%
Withdrawal during 1st semester requires payment of
3- 5 months of tuition.
Withdrawal during 2nd semester requires payment
of 6-10 months of tuition.
I understand that items
damaged in shipping or showing signs of handling will not
be accepted for return or credit.
I understand that a notice of
withdrawal or a request for an official transcript must be made in
writing or email. The
first transcript will be sent free of charge but
additional requests will be subject to a $10.00 processing
fee.
A
$25 processing fee is assessed for a non-sufficient funds
check, credit or debit card decline, or a stop payment.
A $20 late charge is assessed if payment is not received
within 15 days of payment due date.
