Policies & Procedures

Refund Policy

A parent whose registered student is unable to attend must withdraw the student in writing and may request a tuition refund. Prior to the deadline of Wednesday, May 15 (SD) and Wednesday, June 12, 2013 (ED), tuition payments are refundable. After these deadlines, refunds are subject to the ATDP Refund Schedule, which will be included in the student’s acceptance packet.

No refund will be made in the case of a student who fails to attend classes, to complete homework, or to meet the standards of appropriate behavior. The $50 processing fee is also nonrefundable.

Attendance

Elementary Division Attendance Policy

Students should plan on attending daily and always being on time. As the instructors’ expectations are high and classes are active and challenging, students who are late or absent will miss important lessons and instructions. Even one absence will make it difficult to keep pace. Students cannot miss the first two days of class. Students who incur more than two absences for any reason may be dropped from the program and will not be due a tuition refund.

Secondary Division Attendance Policy

The scope of the curriculum, the pace at which courses proceed, and the faculty’s high expectations require that students attend every class meeting. Even one absence makes it very difficult to keep pace and also makes it difficult for the program to recommend that the student receive credit for completion of courses in the Secondary Division. Students cannot miss the first two days of class. Students who incur more than two absences for any reason may be dropped from the program, will not receive a recommendation for credit, and will not be due a tuition refund.

Fremont USD students, please refer to important scheduling information.
