Late Enrollment: All fees due are to be paid in advance or on a monthly basis in equal payments for the number of months remaining in the school year. For students enrolling during the current school year, but after January 1, the registration fee will be (50%) of the regular fee. 

Early Withdrawal: All charges related to the student’s enrollment are to be paid as of the date of withdrawal. 50% of the registration fees will be refunded if notified of withdrawal prior to June 1, 2010. Should a student be dismissed from TCS for any reason, all policies related to early withdrawal will apply.
