Fees & Refund Policy
Processing Fees
Along with the completed application form, send your non-refundable processing fee check for $30 to the ATDP office. The processing fee is separate from tuition, so this $30 is not subtracted from the amount due for tuition. Checks should be made out to "UC Regents." Write the students first and last name and "SD" on the check's memo line. Please pay by check or money order. (We are unable to take payments in cash or by credit card.)
Tuition & Lab Fees
Tuition fees are $460 for a 5-unit course, $680 for a 10-unit course, and $1,045 for AP Biology. The materials/lab fees vary by course, ranging from $50 to $160. In addition to the supplies and equipment used in class, the materials and/or lab fees also covers photocopying, field trips, and computer lab time. The amount indicated for each course in the Course Descriptions represents the combined total for tuition and materials/lab fees. Do NOT send tuition and materials/lab fees when you apply.
We will include information on tuition fees due or financial aid award, if any, in the student's notice of acceptance, which will be mailed on Thursday, April 2, 2009. Families will have until Monday, May 4 to send their tuition and materials/lab fees to ATDP. If the student needs to pay in installments, the first payment of at least $100 must be postmarked by May 4, and the balance must be paid in full by Friday, July 31, the last day of classes. The sibling discount is $25 per attending sibling.
If payment of the processing fee or the tuition and materials/lab fees presents a financial hardship, please see the Financial Aid section.
Refund Policy
A registered student who is unable to attend must withdraw in writing and may request a tuition refund. Prior to the deadline of Wednesday, May 20, 2009, tuition payments are refundable. After May 20, the $100 tuition down payment that a student pays to reserve her/his place in class is non-refundable. No refund will be made in the case of a student who fails to attend classes, fails to complete homework, or fails to meet the standards of appropriate behavior. The $30 processing fee is also non-refundable.
