FEES & WAIVERS

EXAM FEES

The cost per subject is $95.00 payable to Rex Putnam. Fees can be paid to the school bookkeeper (cash, check, card). The actual cost of IB examinations is higher, however the school district makes up the difference so that the cost of an IB exam is comparable to the AP exams (which are offered at other schools). Fees must be paid by November 3.

FEE WAIVERS

To qualify for a fee waiver students must qualify for the Free/Reduced lunch program. Students should visit the bookkeeper's office to obtain a fee waiver. Those students with a fee waiver will not need to pay any IB fees. Waivers must be submitted by November 3.

PAYMENT PLANS

Students who do not qualify for a fee waiver but who may have a difficult time paying for their exams may submit a fee payment plan to the bookkeeper. This will allow a student to pay their fees over several months. Students may pickup a payment plan from the bookkeeper. The first payment and payment plan must be turned in by November 3.
