Payment of Tuition and Fees
Students should be prepared to pay all tuition and fees each term at registration, either by cash, check, Visa, or Mastercard. Low-interest installment agreements are available to students experiencing financial difficulties. The down payment is one third (1/3) of the total amount. Students who do not pay in full or complete their installment contracts are ineligible to register for the following term, graduate, or receive transcripts of academic credit. Students will be charged $30 for each late installment. In addition, the processing fee for each returned check is $20.
Financial Resources
The Academy provides access to several low-interest financial aid programs. Federal Direct Loans can be utilized by degree-seeking students who qualify. Private loans are also available for students who meet the credit criteria. For application purposes, the FAFSA school code for ACCHS is G32883.
