REGISTRATION: Registration fees are due upon enrollment in classes. Registration fees are not eligible for refunds.
PAYMENT: You will have a financial obligation to SHEEP and your responsibility to pay such obligation in a timely manner. Tuition is due each month on the first Thursday or Friday, depending on campus, of the month BEFORE 2pm. Your child’s teachers are paid after we have received tuition payments.
The term “Tuition” when used in this agreement refers to: the total amount per month due for all classes in which your children are enrolled, plus an administrative fee of $12 per month per family. Tuition paid after 2:00 p.m. on the first Friday of the month is considered late, and a $20 late fee will be applied to your cumulative balance. Families who remain in arrears for a period of more than thirty (30) days will be removed from rolls of all SHEEP classes and programs and any amounts previously paid will not be refunded. Families who have a balance due will not be allowed to register for future classes until all amounts due have been paid. Families who are having difficulty making payments due to special or temporary circumstances are encouraged to speak to the accounting team. Financial assistance is available in a limited amount; many volunteer opportunities exist to offset tuition. Please note, if you have not paid, or made payment arrangements, your student will be sent to study hall on the 1st week of the month following non-payment, and you will be called. Your child will not be permitted to return until you have made arrangements for payments.
SHEEP tuition is billed over 7 payments. These payments are due the first week of September, October, November, January, February, March, and April.
Should an act of God (i.e. a hurricane, snowstorm, or other natural disaster) cause us to cancel classes, payment for that week will still be required.
If a family has not paid for 2 consecutive months they will be dropped from SHEEP. Additionally, if a family is habitually late they may be dismissed from SHEEP.
TUITION: See the class course description for detail of all amounts due for each class. Tuition is due the 1st of the month and due monthly.
FULL TUITION: SHEEP does not prorate tuition due to closure for acts of God, weather or epidemics. SHEEP will make every effort to make up days lost, and teachers will do all they can to make up assignments, but never the less, full tuition is due each month.
ADMIN FEE: A $12 Admin fee will added to all invoices that each family receives to help pay for rent, insurance etc.
MATERIALS FEES: If there are materials, text or copy fees due, it will be noted in the class description. Materials fees are to be paid with registrations or by July 1st at the latest. If material fees are not paid by July 1st, you could be dropped from your classes and registration fees will not be refunded. Anyone registering after July 1st must pay registration fees with registration forms. Materials fees MAY NOT be paid directly to the teacher unless directed that way. Some classes may require additional materials fees for projects during the year. Always read class descriptions carefully to confirm tuition and materials fees. Material fees cannot be refunded or transferred after August 1st as they have already been paid to the teacher.
Materiel fees are due July 1st. You may pay these at any time here https://www.sheep.education/pay-here.html . Type in the Invoice# and enter Parent/student’s name that you are paying for in the correct space. To know what to pay look at the course description on the website. You will be sent an invoice a week before the fees are due and this will be your only reminder. If you do not pay by the 1st week in July, we will drop you from your classes and registration fees not refunded.
DROPPING CLASSES AND ABSENCES: Whether or not your student attends class during all days of the month, you are responsible for payment of full tuition. SHEEP is a non-profit organization and DOES NOT have the ability to absorb unpaid tuition and the costs associated with teaching courses for students who stop coming to class. Notice is required for all drops and only under certain circumstances will the parent(s) of the dropping student be relieved of their financial responsibility to SHEEP. The following are acceptable reasons for dropping some or all SHEEP classes: (i) death of a parent; (ii) moving 30 or more miles from class location; (iii) parent becomes unemployed; (iv) child enrolls in school. If you wish to drop or change a class, you must fill out a drop form and pay a $20 change fee. NO Classes can be dropped after January.
PAYMENT METHODS: Payment may be made at the pay desk during the class day before 2PM. You may make the payments in the form of cash, personal check, money order, major debit or credit cards. Payments may also be through the SHEEP website with Square. Payments WILL NOT be accepted through the front desk after 2 PM. Please do not track down the Campus Manager or anyone else to try to make a payment after 2 PM.
Instructions for Square payments: go to the SHEEP website and Find the “Pay Here” link in the menu at the top of the web page. Click “Pay Here”. Enter your invoice number, child’s name and payment amount.
DROPPING AND CHANGING CLASSES: Any class dropped in violation of the terms of this agreement, unless by express permission of the Campus Manager, remains the financial responsibility of the registering parent(s). Unless you have the express permission of the Campus manager to drop the class(es), you must continue to pay tuition for said class(es). CAREFULLY CONSIDER CLASSES BEFORE MAKING A FINAL DECISION AND SUBMITTING YOUR ENROLLMENT PAPERWORK. Material fees cannot be transferred to another teacher after August 1st. If you add or change classes after that date you must pay the material fee for the new class at that time. Material fees are not refunded or transferred after they are paid to teachers.
The creation of the class schedule, billing, and tracking attendance are extremely time intensive procedures. When you sign up for a class, a teacher is preparing for your child and continues to prepare for them each week. Because of the additional work and expense of class changes, dropping or switching classes is permitted ONLY in special circumstances and ONLY with notice to and permission of the board. Absence from a class does not constitute notice. Approval for dropping some or all SHEEP classes may only be given by the Campus Manager. WHEN SCHEDULE CHANGES ARE PERMITTED: You are permitted to make changes before SHEEP begins classes. Due to the large amount of paperwork involved each change had a $20 per change fee. Please choose your classes carefully as not cause undue burden on the SHEEP staff. Once classes have started you may change classes at the beginning of the month up through January. NO changes will be permitted after January.
You agree to pay 7 payments billed monthly. Payments are due on the first week of September, October, November, January, February, March, and April. Should an act of God (i.e. a hurricane, snowstorm, or other natural disaster) cause us to cancel classes, payment for that week will still be required
Late Payments
Those who habitually make late payments to SHEEP will not be allowed to register with returners in the next school year. Once they have paid all unpaid balances they will be considered to enroll with new students. We reserve the right to turn away anyone who habitually makes late payments.
