Amerigo Tuition Policy
Once Parent submits an executed Student Contract, Waiver and Release with the required Enrollment Deposit, Student will be enrolled for the entire academic year (or partial remainder of the year if applicable). In years after the Parent first executes the Contract, Student will be enrolled for the subsequent entire academic years once the required Enrollment Deposit is paid for that particular year.
Withdrawing from the program may have immigration, academic and financial consequences. Parents are encouraged to understand the consequences before choosing to withdraw; meeting with an Amerigo Admissions or Campus staff member is highly recommended. Detailed information about the cancellation of enrollment and withdrawal from the school is available below.
Parent may terminate this Contract by submitting a WRITTEN Termination Notice to Amerigo’s Admissions Department (admissions@amerigoeducation.com) at any time. The Termination Notice must (a) be dated, (b) state the Student’s name, (c) provide a reason for the termination of the Contract.
Student Withdrawal Prior to Start of Program
If the Termination Notice is received by the Admissions Department on or before the Withdrawal Date, Parent will be refunded the Tuition and Student Fees paid (other than the nonrefundable, nontransferable Enrollment Deposit) and be relieved of other future payments and fees that would have come due after the Withdrawal Date.
