Log in to BCHS FACTS

1. FACTS Payment System:
   By enrolling in the FACTS payment system, the custodial parent(s) agree that they have read and understood the tuition, fees, and policies, and agree to make all payments by the stated due date. Once an account becomes 60 days past due, the president may withdraw the student from the school until the balance is paid or some financial arrangement is made with the Vice President of Finance.
2. Tuition Payment Agreement and Registration:
   No student is officially registered for a school year until the family has enrolled in a tuition payment agreement on FACTS and all prior year tuition and fees have been paid or an approved payment plan with the Business Office is in place.
3. Tuition Deposit:
   A tuition deposit is paid at the time of registration. This deposit is considered non-refundable at that time. The deposit is credited to the tuition bill and is not an additional charge.
4. Delinquent Payments:
   Tuition payment is required to be kept current. Students with past-due tuition balances will not be allowed to sit for their semester exams. All final transcripts and diplomas will be withheld until balances are paid in full.
5. Refunds:
   Refunds due to the withdrawal of the student are made on tuition and some fees and are prorated on a quarterly basis. After the first two weeks of classes in any quarter, tuition and fees are charged for the entire quarter. There is no refund of the capital assessment ($595) or senior graduation fee ($150).
   NOTE: AP fees will not be refunded for classes dropped after Nov 1st.
6. Collection Proceedings:
   Bishop Chatard High School reserves the right to retain all available methods for collections including the use of collection agencies. In the event collection proceedings become necessary, the parent will be responsible for attorney fees, court costs, and interest. Any tuition and fees that are placed in bankruptcy may result in the dismissal of the student unless reaffirmation of payment is made to the school.
7. Custodial Parents and Payment:
   Please note: In cases where both the custodial and non-custodial parent(s) are responsible for educational costs for a student, both parents must maintain their own FACTS payment plans unless other arrangements have been made with the Bishop Chatard Business Office.
8. Retreat Fees:
   The Campus Ministry Retreat Fees are included in the tuition statement. Any questions regarding these fees, please contact the Campus Ministry Office.
9. iPads:
   iPads are the property of Bishop Chatard High School until the student graduates from Bishop Chatard. Upon graduation, the iPad will become theirs.

Tuition charges and credits, payment history, and payment plans can be found in your FACTS account for the family. These include financial aid, discounts, scholarships, and voucher payments.

Make a point to periodically check your account for accuracy.

Once the school year has begun, a family may experience the loss of a job or a catastrophic illness that makes it impossible to sustain payments as they were established. To prevent the withdrawal of a student(s) from the school for that year because of these new circumstances, the parents should contact the Business Office for more information.
