This is a legally binding document and Lopez Catholic will pursue means to collect all monies owed. A family who is having unexpected financial difficulties should inform the Principal immediately.

Families may choose to pay tuition by cash, by check or by credit card.

Tuition payment plans include the following options:

- An eleven-month payment plan (August 1 through May 1) by direct deposit using the FACTS Tuition payment plan.

- Annual payment due on July 1

- Semi-annual payments due on July 1 and January 1.

Report Cards, Diplomas and Transcripts will not be issued until all outstanding tuition and financial obligations have been satisfied.

Failure to meet the above dates will result in a $25.00 per month late fee after 30 days.

There is a $25.00 charge for all returned checks.
