Specific invoice dates and any possible alternatives (monthly or other instalment plans) are set by the school's accounting office.

Refund and cancellation policy (financial consequences of withdrawal) - The network's standard financial rules apply: re-registration or first-registration fees are generally non‑refundable, and departures during the school year do not automatically trigger full refunds; any refund rules depend on the date of departure (many AEFE poles and associated establishments specify that a departure during the first trimester does not give rise to a refund and that a started trimester is due). Final decisions on refunds and the precise calendar for refunds are set by the school's financial regulation and the accounting service.
Fee payment options - Accepted payment methods used across the Casablanca–Mohammedia group include: payment by bank card (on site or online), bank transfer, deposit of cash at the school accounting office, and on-request direct debit (prélèvement automatique) arranged with the school's accounting service. Exact modalities (online payment portal, deadlines and bank details) are provided with the invoice and by the school's accounting office.
If you need any specific numeric breakdown presented in a different way (for example per-month instalments or family discounts by sibling), the standard pole rules include sibling abatements (discounts) starting at the second/third child and schools commonly publish those abatements and any social-aid / scholarship procedures in their financial regulation.
