FINANCIAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

TUITION

Tuition Information Letter

Invoices are mailed the first week of every month. All payments are due on the 25th of the month. Above listed payment amounts do not include incidental charges, which may be added to your billing statement. We are hoping to email tuition statements next year, so please update your email address with Rosanne Rosinia-Siok at 312-432-8307.

Late Payment Charges - Timely payment under the billing plans above is essential. A 1% late charge will be imposed on any amount unpaid, for whatever reason, as of the last day of each month. A $15.00 charge will be imposed for all checks returned by the bank. Serious delinquency will necessitate barring your son or daughter from classes and report cards will not be forwarded or transcripts sent until all financial obligations are met.

Seniors with past due tuition balances may be prohibited from participating in the Graduation Ceremony. All Senior balances must be paid in full before May 1st.

Cash, checks, money orders, cashiers checks are all accepted as payment for tuition. If you are paying with cash, the money must be presented at the Treasurer’s Office. Check, money order or cashier’s check payments are mailed to:

Tuition payment must be mailed to:

The Eagle Way address is only for tuition payments. Parent pledge payments and payments to Quest must go to the individual department.

When mailing tuition payments to the Eagle Way address do not include correspondence as this is our bank lockbox address. Student ID numbers MUST BE included on check. Remember your student ID number changes each year. If you have your tuition payment automatically sent from your bank, please make sure to change the account number.

Due to the ever increasing fees associated with using a credit card for payment of tuition, Saint Ignatius College Prep prefers payment by check, money order or cashiers check. Credit cards may be used as payment of tuition, if necessary, by paying online here and following the prompts. We accept American Express and Mastercard. You will be charged a 2.75% convenience fee for your transaction.

If your son or daughter will not be attending Saint Ignatius College Prep in the fall, please notify Ms. Rosanne Rosinia-Siok, in writing, as soon as possible.
