It does not publish a comprehensive tuition-refund policy for tuition paid, explicit per-term (semester) billing amounts (tuition is shown as annual and via 10 monthly installments), the exact cost for purchasing uniforms, nor an explicit list of accepted payment methods and any card/processing surcharges. For those specific operational details, registration paperwork and the school's billing office provide the contractual schedule and payment-method options at time of enrollment.
