*Lines of Credit with FBT are established for the full tuition amount due. Down payments can be made to reduce the total finance amount if made prior to May 15^th (cash, check or charge). Only the Business Office can make changes to the line-of-credit activator.

TUITION RATE INFORMATION

· Parish Supporter Rates: For students to qualify for these rates, an Immaculate Conception Parish Church Supporter Letter must be attached to the registration form at the time of registration. For the 2008-2009 school year, a minimum contribution of $325.00 must have been donated during the calendar year of 2007. (To qualify for the 2009-2010 school year, a minimum contribution of $325.00 must be donated throughout this calendar year, due by December 31, 2008. No lump-sum payments will be accepted the last week of the year.)

· Church Parish Vouchers: A voucher from the Catholic Church Parish that a family supports, other than Immaculate Conception Church, will be accepted at registration PER STUDENT to qualify for the Parish Supporter Rates. The voucher must be an original and signed by the parish Pastor of your Church. No photocopies will be accepted. Contact your Church Parish office regarding vouchers.

· Non-Catholic Family Rates: If a student does not have a Catholic Baptismal Certificate on file or if the registrant does not present one at the time of registration, the Non-Catholic rates MUST apply.

Parent signature required: The parent enrolling the child(ren) at Immaculate Conception School is required to assume responsibility for tuition/fees related to the enrollment of the child(ren) and acknowledge all relevant tuition due dates. This parent/guardian must sign this form and print his/her name under the signature line. No child will be considered registered without this signature. (If there are any court orders indicating the parent responsible for tuition, please call the Tuition Department to submit a copy. Custodial disputes can be very complicated and the Business Offices cannot be placed in the middle in its efforts to collect tuition).

Tuition Late Fees: Any registered student with an unpaid tuition balance after Thursday, May 15, 2008 at 3pm will be assessed a $150.00 late fee per student and will be added to the tuition balance. The delinquent fee will be assessed for those who checked off “Tuition Paid in Full”, checked off “Line of Credit with FBT” who did not sign the necessary papers to activate or re-activate their line-of-credit, or anyone with a balance that has not made payment arrangements. Those students names will be put on a waiting list and may not be allowed to attend the first day of school until tuition payments are made or other arrangements are made.

NSF or Returned Check Fees: For any payments made payable to Immaculate Conception School returned for insufficient funds or other reasons, a charge of $25.00 per returned check will be assessed. The check amount plus the $25.00 charge must be repaid to the school with a money order, cashiers check, or cash within 10 calendar days from the date of our notification to prevent further consequences. Report cards will be held for non-payment of NSF checks and further non-payment of NSF checks will result in the suspension of check privileges or a suspension of the student from school. It is a crime (LSA-R.S. 14:71) to issue “NSF” or “Account Closed” checks in the state of Louisiana and is subject to prosecution under the law.

Financial Aid: Financial aid is need-based. It is not intended to be an entitlement program and applications must be submitted each year. There is no automatic re-enrollment. There is a limited amount of financial aid from Immaculate Conception School and those limited funds are available only to students registered for the 2008-2009 school year, with priority given to Immaculate Conception Church Parish Catholic Supporting Families. Financial Aid Packets will be made available at a date announced at a later time in the Tuesday Parent Bulletin. There will be a deadline for packet submission. No packets will be accepted after the deadline. For more information, please call our office or visit the website at http://www.icschargers.org/.
