REFUND POLICY

This policy provides guidelines and outlines circumstances in determining eligibility for a full or partial refund for fees paid to the school for student materials and equipment, books, camps, field trips, and extra-curricular activities and ensures the district does not incur a direct cost at the local school.

• HCS will refund the course fee with an approved schedule change within the first 10 days of the school year

• HCS will issue a refund if a field trip is canceled   

• HCS will issue a refund (less any costs incurred) for an overnight trip if it is deemed nonparticipation is due to an unavoidable circumstance i.e. absence or illness

• A refund does not always equate to a full refund of monies paid (dependent upon non-refundable deposits, cost predetermined by the number of participants, etc.)

• Where the school is charged a “group fee” as opposed to a “per head fee”, a refund cannot be calculated until all costs associated with the activity have been met

• No refund is available where a replacement cost has been incurred by the district/school (device and/or accessory, textbook, library book, etc.)

• HCS will not issue refunds for prepaid items (agenda, uniform, recorder, etc.)

RETURNED PAYMENT FEE

HCS will assess a $25.00 fee for each payment instrument (credit card, ACH/EFT/e-check, and paper check) returned, refused, or rejected by a financial institution. This fee shall become a part of the total amount due.
