To reserve your space, complete the application online. A US$150 non-refundable, transferable deposit is due with the application. We will send you an invoice for the balance due. Students are responsible for their own airfare or other travel costs to and from Washington, D.C. Presidential Classroom houses four students to a room in order to keep tuition costs down. In 2008, we will offer a limited number of rooms that will house only two students. The cost for this option is $500 and is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The additional $500 must be paid with the $150 deposit. If the two student rooms are unavailable, we will credit the $500 toward your tuition. Like many colleges and universities, Presidential Classroom employs a rolling admissions process. Applications postmarked by December 17, 2007 (for winter sessions) or April 7, 2008 (for summer sessions) will be accepted on a first-come, first considered basis. Applications received after these dates will be considered as space is available. The earlier an application is received, the more likely the student will be granted admission into his/her first choice. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, checks and money orders. All Presidential Classrom 2008 programs are $1,495 except the Future World Leaders Summit is $1,545. An invoice, noting your balance due and payment deadline (six weeks prior to attending), is included in your Welcome Packet. If your school or another organization is sponsoring you, give them the invoice and keep a copy for your records.You may pay your tuition by check (payable to Presidential Classroom), money order, VISA, MasterCard or Discover. Mail your payment with the return portion of the invoice to: Presidential Classroom Tuition To ensure funds are properly credited, clearly indicate your name with your payment. This also applies to money sent from sponsors. If paying by credit card, be sure to provide all required information on the return portion of the invoice. The invoice must be signed by the authorized cardholder. Your canceled check or credit card statement will be your only receipt. If you must cancel, please notify us immediately and in writing. Note the following refund schedule; the $150 deposit is not refundable. We can refund the tuition balance only as indicated.
We will not refund tuition for students who are dismissed from the program for disciplinary reasons nor for those who leave for medical reasons. To change class dates, as space allows, you must submit a written request with a $25 class change fee. If we can grant your request, we will send you written confirmation. If we are unable to change your class dates, we will refund your $25. With permission from Admissions, an alternate student may replace you if you are unable to attend. Please submit a written request, a $25 administrative fee and a completed registration form for the new student. This type of request should be received in our office at least seven working days prior to the student's attendance. The alternate will use the same class reservation and will apply any monies paid to this account for his/her tuition. Reimbursements should be arranged between the original student and the alternate. |
