Per-term / per-installment amounts (equal-installment examples)
- The school offers two-installment and three-installment payment schedules; the published schedule lists the installment due dates but does not itemize unequal installment amounts. The per-installment figures below are equal-split calculations of the published annual tuition amounts (these are arithmetically calculated examples to show the per-payment value under each option):
- Nursery (KD 2,265): two equal installments = KD 1,132.50; three equal installments = KD 755.00.
- KG 1 (KD 2,125): two equal installments = KD 1,062.50; three equal installments ≈ KD 708.33.
- KG 2 (KD 2,636): two equal installments = KD 1,318.00; three equal installments ≈ KD 878.67.
- Grade 1–4 (KD 3,527): two equal installments = KD 1,763.50; three equal installments ≈ KD 1,175.67.
- Grade 5–8 (KD 3,738): two equal installments = KD 1,869.00; three equal installments = KD 1,246.00.
- Grade 9–12 (KD 3,954): two equal installments = KD 1,977.00; three equal installments = KD 1,318.00.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Two-installment schedule: payments due on the first day of school and the first day of January.
- Three-installment schedule: payments due on the first day of school, the first day of December, and the first day of February. Parents with one or two children may request to pay in three installments by applying to the Business Office at enrollment; installment arrangements are managed by the Business Office. Students joining after August 15 must pay the full first installment on joining. Re-enrollment for the next academic year is conditional on tuition being paid in full by the stated deadlines.

Boarding
- Boarding is not applicable; Universal American School operates as a day school (no boarding fees listed).

Other compulsory and recurring charges
- Annual digital books and textbook fee: KD 150 due by the stated deadline; this fee is non-refundable if the student withdraws or transfers after the school year begins.
- Annual technology fee (charged in prior materials and referenced in school documentation): previously published as KD 75 in technology charges language; parents should note the school's published mandatory technology/textbook and digital-material charges.
- Textbook replacement charges (examples taken from school handbook): lost AP textbook replacement KD 100; lost regular textbook replacement KD 50 (charges apply when textbooks are not returned).
- Uniforms: school uniform must be purchased from the school's designated stores; uniform costs are charged to parents at those designated stores.
- Transportation (school bus): transportation is charged separately; transportation forms and payments are handled through the Business Office and online payment portal. Specific route/fee amounts for transportation are billed separately from tuition.
- Incidental or activity charges: field trips, extra-curricular activities, examination fees, and certain other course-specific charges are billed in addition to tuition when applicable.

Refunds and withdrawal terms
- Application and assessment fees are non-refundable. New-student registration fees are non-refundable. The student file-opening/registration-online charge is credited to tuition but is subject to the school's withdrawal deductions. If a withdrawal form is submitted before the stated deadline, KD 100 is deducted from the deposit; failure to submit the withdrawal form by the deadline typically results in no refund of the deposit. Students withdrawing during the first semester are liable for the full tuition for that semester; students withdrawing during the second semester remain liable for the full academic-year tuition. The digital books/textbooks fee is non-refundable after the school year begins. Records and official documents are released only after financial clearance.

Accepted payment channels and instructions
- The school provides an online payment service for tuition and transportation payments (parents may register and activate the online payment service). Contact the Business Office for help with the online payment portal and payment setup. The school documentation states that Universal American School does not accept credit-card payments and reserves the right to reject payments by personal cheques; parents should therefore use the school's specified payment methods via the Business Office and the online portal. For payment clarifications and account matters contact the Business Office.

Notes on obligations and collections
- Tuition and fee obligations must be met by the published due dates; the school may prevent students from attending classes or completing re-enrollment if tuition is unpaid. Financial holds apply until outstanding balances are cleared. Installment requests and deferred-payment arrangements are administered by the Business Office.
