Financial Information 2012-2013

Immaculata High School is a parish school, not a diocesan or private school. Its financial security depends on the timely and full payment of all tuition and the enthusiastic generous support of our Advancement Office and fundraising efforts. Alumni support and benefactors are vital to the financial stability of our school. The diocese provides a small financial subsidy on an annual basis but apart from this we receive no financial aid.

Business Office/Tuition Collection Policy:

- All tuition must be paid as contracted either by FACTS or in full.
- All tuition payable through FACTS, both 2-pay plan of ½ in July ½ in Dec. and the 10-month plan from July-April are due on the 5th or 20th of the month. BOTH PLANS start in JULY. The full (ONE-TIME) payment is due by July 20th. (A $100 discount will be given for all payments received by July 10th.)

Rates & Fees:

Tuition for 2012-2013 School year:  $10,400 for underclassmen; $10,600 for seniors.
Returning Student Re-Registration Fee (due each February):  $50.

Other Freshman and Transfer Student Fees:

Registration Fee (due upon registration) $150.
Capital Reserve Fee:  $300.
Tuition Deposit:  $200.      

Definitions:

Capital Reserve Fee: One time fee paid by all new students entering the school.  These funds are set aside in a designated account that is tapped only for Capital improvements in and around the school.

Financial Assistance:

Immaculata High School and the Diocese of Metuchen use the Private School Aid Service (PSAS) to evaluate all assistance applications.  The PSAS form must be completed, must include a copy of your 2011 tax return, your pastor's signature (if applicable) and must be postmarked by March 31st.  No extensions are granted.  You will receive a Honeywell Alert when the forms are available- we usually have them in the Business Office by February 1st.

Scholarships:

Immaculata High School's Office of Advancment and Alumni Relations also offers several scholarships to students entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year.  Consideration will be given to students who fully embrace the Immaculata experience.  Please click here for the application forms and selection criteria for the scholarships that are available.  

Returned Check Policy:

Many people experience an occasional bookkeeping error or cash flow mis-step, this is understandable.  Anyone whose check has been returned for non-payment, should immediately notify the Business Office (908)722-0200 x113.  We will ask that you replace the check plus cover the bank fees we incur (usually $17 per check).  If we receive a second check back for non-payment, the original amount of the check plus a charge of $25 will be due.  Upon the receipt of a 3rd returned check the charge will be $50.  Further, upon the return of the 3rd check, your personal checks will no longer be accepted in any department of the school, nor for any extra-curricular activities.  All payments from this point on will be required in cash, money order, or bank check.  We must discourage the issuance of bad checks as it costs the school time and resources to follow up.  Knowingly issuing bad checks is fraud, please pay with cash, money order or bank check if you are uncertain as to your checking account balance.  Your cooperation is appreciated.

Non-payment of Tuition or Fees:

- Failure to pay tuition in full by the end of April may lead to forfeiture of a seat for underclassmen.  No seat will be reserved for a student whose tuition balance is not current.  
- Failure to pay tuition and/or fees will lead to withholding of report cards and roster classes for the following year.  Students whose balance is not current will be deemed ineligible for on-campus parking privileges.
- Failure by a senior to pay tuition in full by the end of April will prevent that student from participation in any senior activities, such as; the Senior Prom, Boat trip and from graduation exercises.  Final transcript and diploma will not be sent.

Communication with the Business office is paramount.  Please help us-to help you in fulfilling your financial commitment to Immaculata.
