Weekly payments are due midnight Sunday for the following week. Late fees are charged after midnight on Sunday. Students whose accounts are not paid by Monday will not be able to attend ASC starting on Tuesday.

Do I get a refund if my child is sick or absent?
No. Tuition is based on program enrollment, not attendance. As long as students are enrolled, tuition must be paid.
-
Are late fees charged?
Yes. A $5 late fee per child is charged on any outstanding balance at midnight on Sunday. This includes balances owed because a credit card has been rejected/denied due to insufficient funds or an expired card.

Do I have to pay the late fee if my card expired?
Yes. Late fees are charged Sunday nights at midnight for any outstanding balance regardless of the reason for the outstanding balance. Fees are $5 per child.

What happens if I miss a payment?
$5 late fees are charged each Sunday at midnight on any overdue accounts.
Site managers check for overdue accounts weekly. Students who have overdue accounts are not allowed to attend until the account is paid in full. Site managers will let you know on Monday if your child can attend on Tuesday.
Overdue accounts are grounds for dismissal from the ASC program. Accounts are checked monthly, and ASC offices will reach out to those with delinquent accounts.

What if I'm late picking up my child?
A late pick-up fee will be charged: $2 per minute per child. The charge will be applied to the next week's tuition, and standard late fees can apply.
After two late pick-ups, dismissal from the program will be considered.
