Trung học (THCS / THPT — Lower & Upper Secondary)
- Billing structure: secondary tuition is published by semester (Học kỳ 1 / Học kỳ 2) and as a full‑year total; the published fee schedule also separately lists meal fees, day‑care (bán trú) service, facility fee, experiential fee and annual insurance.

Example total (including facility/experience/insurance) is published in the campus fee schedule.
- Lớp 12: Published schedules show a different semester split (higher first‑semester or special calendar for grade 12) and list tuition and meal fees by semester; example published totals for grade 12 in the Pathway Tuệ Đức materials appear higher than other THPT years because of the adjusted schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payment frequency options: Pathway publishes options for quarterly/semester/yearly payment depending on level (mầm non commonly by quarter; primary and secondary commonly by semester or full‑year). A full‑year payment discount is published (for example a 7% discount for full‑year payment on some programmes).
- Standard deadlines (examples from the published schedule):
- Current (continuing) students: tuition for Học kỳ 1 / full year is due by the summer deadline published for the intake (for example an earlier schedule used 01/07 as the Học kỳ 1/full‑year deadline and 15/12 for Học kỳ 2).
- New students: parents are required to complete the financial registration within a short window after the admissions result (example wording in the fee schedule: parents pay within seven working days from the date of the assessment result).
- Late payments, fee adjustments and treatment of partial‑year entry: the published regulations include pro‑rata rules for students who enrol late in the year, rules for mid‑year entry (specific cutoff dates and the percentage of fee charged), and non‑refundable seat reservation; those exact cutoffs and percentages are listed in each campus's fee document.
Boarding / residential provision
- Pathway Tuệ Đức operates day schooling; the fee schedules publish a “phí dịch vụ bán trú” (day‑care / in‑school boarding service for meals / supervised day care) as an optional service rather than full residential boarding. Published examples for bán trú are typically VND 3,000,000 per semester (VND 6,000,000 per year) for many secondary and primary campuses (figures vary by campus). There is no published full‑time residential (overnight boarding) programme in the standard Tuệ Đức campus fee documents.

Refund, seat‑reservation and leave / retention policies
- Seat‑reservation (phí giữ suất học): published as non‑refundable if the student does not enrol; the fee is deductible from the first year's tuition when the student actually enrols.
- Refunds and retention: the published rules show specific deadlines and conditions for refund, pro‑rata charging, and treatment of fee items when parents request leave or withdrawal (for example precise dates when 100% of a fee is still payable for a late withdrawal). The schedules also publish rules on “bảo lưu” (suspension/holding a place) and whether unused fee portions can be carried forward; the fee schedules list the conditions and the exact percentage/amount treatment.
Fee payment methods (published options)
- Online payment via the Pathway tuition/parent portal is provided as an option; the school publishes an online payments page and encourages parents to use the online channel for fee settlement.
- Bank transfer details for event/fee payments (example published payment beneficiary and account in school communications): account name CÔNG TY CỔ PHẦN GIÁO DỤC LIÊN MINH BÁCH KHOA; account at Shinhan Bank (example account number shown in parent communication for event payments).
