Tuition Refund Plan (TRP)
USJ, like all independent schools, must take the position that no refund of tuition paid, or cancellation of tuition due, can be made in the event of absence, withdrawal or dismissal of the student. The Tuition Refund Plan (far right column, above) provides families with contractual protection in the event the family leaves the school before year end.
The plan pays 50% of the unused tuition fee for withdrawals other than medical. The plan pays 100% of the unused tuition fee for medical withdrawals. This fee will be dueon or before August 1.
