are August 11, 2008 and October 10, 2008 for the fall semester and

This plan is administered by the Academic Management Services Corp

The monthly schedule for the 2008–2009 school year runs from
July 1, 2008 through March 1, 2009 and there is a $55 enrollment
fee. The contract amount must cover the fall and spring tuition
and fees. Contact AMS at 1-800-635-0120 or at their Web site (www.amsweb.com).
Refund Policy
If it is necessary for a student to withdraw completely from the
Precollege Division or from an individual course carrying an additional
charge the Associate Director, Yvette Loynaz, must be notified in
writing. The date on which written notification is received by the
Associate Director will be considered the date of the student’s
withdrawal. Students withdrawing from the Precollege Division after
the first day of classes are still responsible to pay for fees and
a portion of the tuition. Students on scholarship will receive a
prorated amount of scholarship based on their withdrawal date.
The tuition due will be based on the following
schedule. As well, students will receive a portion of their allocated
scholarship based on the following schedule:
20% – weeks 1& 2
30% – week 3
40% – week 4
50% – week 5
60% – week 6
70% – week 7
No refunds will be made after the seventh week. The $500 required
reservation deposit for students is nonrefundable.
