IV. REFUND OF SCHOOL FEES

Tuition fees and other academic fees may be refunded to pupils or students who have erroneous computation in accounts. A letter has to be made signed by the parent who registers the student, or any authorized person before a refund will be done.

There will be no refund for auxiliary fees, which include uniforms, books, notebooks, and the like.

If a pupil or student, however, withdraws under certain circumstances as described below all pertinent fees are always charged in full and are not refundable under any circumstances:

1. Basic Education Department

A pupil or student who withdraws enrollment before or after the beginning of classes must submit a written request stating a valid reason for the withdrawal. Attachment of documents that support the reason will be necessary if it applies. An exit interview shall only be done after being cleared with accountabilities.

Rules on Refund for Students with Authorized Withdrawal are governed by the Law for Private Schools (Section No.66, s 1992 Manual of Regulation for Private Schools, 8th Edition 1992)

“Tuition Charges: A student who transfer or otherwise withdraws, in writing, within two weeks after the beginning of classes and who has already paid the pertinent tuition and other school fees in full or for any length of time longer than one month may be charged ten percent (10%) of the total amount due for the term if he withdraws within the first week of classes, or twenty percent (20%) if within the second week of classes, regardless of whether or not he has actually attended classes. The student may be charged all the school fees in full if he withdraws anytime after the second week of classes. However, if the transfer or withdrawal is due to a justifiable reason, the student shall be charged the pertinent fees only up to and including the last month of attendance.”

On the basis of the foregoing rules, LCC adopts the following policies:

  • The full Registration and Miscellaneous Fees shall be charged if the pupil or student withdraws prior to the opening of classes;
  • There will be no refund or transfer for the Registration and Miscellaneous Fee;
  • Whether the pupil or student attended classes or not 10% of the total prescribed fee will be charged and deducted from the refund when the application for withdrawal is within the 1st week of regular classes, and 20% if within the second week of classes and there is no refund on tuition fee and 100% of the total tuition and other fees will be charged on the respective bills if withdrawal is after more than the second week of classes.
  • When no written notification is made, the student is considered dropped, and charged in full for the entire school year, regardless of actual attendance.

2. College Department

A  student who withdraws enrolment before or after the beginning of classes must submit a written request stating a valid reason for the withdrawal. Attachment of documents that support the reason will be necessary if it applies. An exit interview shall only be done after being cleared with accountabilities.

Section 100. Refund and Other Charges, CHED Memorandum Order 40, s. 2008
