Billing schedule and payment terms
- Every family must set up and maintain a FACTS Family Portal account for tuition and fee payments. Payments may be processed through FACTS.
- Accepted payment methods for tuition/fees include payment via the FACTS account, credit card, check, or cash as permitted by the Business Office. The school reserves the right to decline personal checks and may assess a fee for any non-sufficient-fund (NSF) transactions.
- Payment-plan cadence: Tuition/fee payment plans are managed through FACTS and are expected to be paid and kept current on a monthly basis. Failure to maintain an up-to-date payment plan may result in restriction of student activities or the student being sent home until financial obligations are met.
Refunds and withdrawal policy
- Fees are non-refundable. Families are charged required fees at registration and for the school year; these fees are stated as non-refundable in school policy.
- Withdrawal tuition responsibility: If a student withdraws during the school year, the family is responsible for tuition through the quarter during which the withdrawal occurs. Example provided in school policy: withdrawal during the second quarter results in responsibility for all fees and one-half of the annual tuition. Records and transcripts will not be forwarded to another school until all financial obligations are satisfied.
Boarding / residential arrangements
- Purcell Marian operates as a day high school; there are no boarding/residential boarding fees.
Other common costs and how they are handled

- Lunch accounts and meal payments: Meal accounts are managed through the school's meal portal; the online lunch portal accepts credit cards for meal payments. Separate lunch account deposits and vending/cafeteria charges are handled through that portal or by direct payment in the cafeteria.
- Optional program fees (summer programs, some trips, athletics tournaments, special workshops): These are billed separately when applicable; families should expect variable, program-specific charges.
Payment channels and practical notes for families
