ACTIVE CATHOLIC STATUS

To be considered an Active Catholic and be charged the corresponding tuition rate, a Parish Verification Form signed by the pastor must be on file with the school business office by the last business day of April annually. Any family without a signed Parish Verification form on file by that date will be charged the non-Catholic tuition rate; no adjustments to tuition rate will be made after the first day of school. Forms must be submitted to the parish; the parish will certify the family status and return the signed form to the school office. One should allow at least two weeks for the parish of record to process the form and return to the school. OLA is not responsible if the parish fails to meet the stated deadline.

Application Fees and Deposits
  • A $200 non-refundable application fee is required for each applicant.
  • A $600 non-refundable tuition deposit is required within ten days of acceptance. The $600 will be deducted from the annual tuition amount.

OLA Catholic School follows the policy and procedures for Tuition Assistance set forth by the Archdiocesan Office of Catholic Schools and the OLA Finance Committee.
  • Tuition assistance/GOAL awards will not be granted to families who do not submit an application to FACTS by the stated deadline.
  • All non-Catholic applicants may be eligible for GOAL awards.
  • Currently enrolled families will be notified of financial aid awards in writing in early April.
  • Applicants will be notified of financial aid awards with the letter of acceptance.
PAYMENT POLICIES

Tuition payments form the primary source of financial support for the academic programs of Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic School. Tuition payments are the responsibility of the parents. Failure to pay tuition seriously jeopardizes the fiscal health and stability of the school. The OLA Catholic School Finance Committee Policy states that tuition must be paid in a timely and consistent manner. Accordingly, the financial policies are

  •  All families are required to establish a FACTS account for the payment of tuition and incidental billing.
  • All tuition, lunch fees, Extended Care Program (ECP) payments, and incidental charges are made through FACTS.
  • The annual tuition and fees may be divided into ten (10) monthly installments due July through April; may be paid in full by July 1; or may be paid in two installments due in July and January.
  • If a payment has been missed through FACTS, a second attempt will be made by FACTS on the next collection date per the FACTS Agreement.
  • Late fees will be charged at 30, 60 and 90 days for tuition which is past due. At 60 days, the student information system, FACTS SIS, will be unavailable for grades and assignments; at 90 days, the student(s) may not return to class until tuition is current. No student, 8th grade, may graduate with an outstanding tuition or fee balance. Parents are asked to contact the principal or business manager for assistance once a tuition payment is late.
  • No family may return to the school if payments for the previous school year, including all fees and ECP invoices, have not been paid in full by July 1. Past due tuition balances will be pursued through legal action.
  • No student’s name will be added to a class list in August if a FACTS Agreement with a payment plan has not been established by July 15. If an agreement has not been created, OLA will assume that the student is not returning, and his/her place will be offered to the next family on the waiting list.
  • The school has the right to refuse class admittance to any student whose account is delinquent more than sixty (60) days. The student may return to class when the delinquent account is current, and the principal agrees to reinstate the student.
  • Transcripts, report cards, awards, and diplomas are the property of the school and may not be issued to the student (or parents of the student) if the student’s account is delinquent.
  • A graduating eighth-grade student’s account must be current one (1) month prior to the student’s last day of school in order for the student to participate in the graduation ceremonies.
  • A returning student’s account must be current two (2) weeks prior to the student’s last day of school of the current school year. If the account is not current, the student may not be permitted to enroll for the upcoming school year, and the school reserves the right to take a family from the waiting list to fill the class slot at that time.
  • Any delinquent payments must be paid through FACTS.

The school works in good faith with families in need, but families must communicate with the school, commit to a payment plan that is acceptable to all parties, and fulfill the terms of the approved payment plan.
