Fees
Application fees
- No application or seat‑reservation fee amount is published in the school's public admissions materials. Details of any application or reservation fees are provided by the Admissions Office at the time of offer or on request; parents should contact Admissions for the exact amount and how it is charged.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- A full fee schedule showing tuition by year group and by term is not published in the school's public materials. The school does not list per‑year or per‑term tuition figures in the materials reviewed; families receive a detailed tuition schedule directly from Admissions when discussing enrolment.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Specific billing schedules (annual vs. per‑term breakdown), payment deadlines, late‑payment penalties, and formal payment terms are not published in the publicly available admissions or FAQ materials. Information about the structure of tuition and associated administrative arrangements is provided through the Admissions team when a place is offered.

Boarding fees
- No boarding programme or boarding fees are listed; a boarding option is not indicated in the school's public programme descriptions. Boarding is therefore not applicable based on available materials.

Other costs and incidental charges (uniform, transport, meals, extracurriculars, exam fees, textbooks, insurance, deposits)
- No fixed amounts for uniforms, transport, school meals, extracurricular activity charges, examination fees, textbook charges, insurance, or registration/deposit sums are published in the public admissions and FAQ materials. Co‑curricular activities and student life programmes are described, but any fees for those activities, uniforms, or transport are supplied by Admissions or in the school's detailed fee schedule on request. An example document (student electronics waiver) shows there are separate signed policy/consent forms for some items, but it does not list standard charges.

Refund information and withdrawal policy
- No formal, published refund or withdrawal policy (for seat deposits, tuition refunds, pro‑rata refunds, or cancellation terms) is available in the public materials reviewed. A historical notice relating to refunds for a specific suspended coaching programme demonstrates the school has processed isolated refunds in the past, but no general published refund schedule or formula is available publicly.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, direct debit, online payment)
- Accepted payment methods and the school's bank details or payment provider information are not listed in the public admissions pages or FAQs. The Admissions Office provides the formal fee schedule and payment instructions to families at application or offer stage. For enquiries or to request the complete fee schedule and the school's accepted payment methods, contact the Admissions Office by phone or email: +62 21 6542654 or admin@universalschool.sch.id. Campus addresses are Jalan Ruas D7, Block D6 No.2, Kota Baru Kemayoran, Jakarta Pusat 14410 and JL. Boulevard Barat No.1, Komplek Inkopal, Kelapa Gading Barat, Jakarta Utara 14240.

Summary of findings
- The school's publicly available admissions pages, application form, and FAQ describe the admissions process and note that tuition structures exist, but none of these public materials publish numeric fee schedules for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years (application fees, per‑year/per‑term tuition by year group, billing schedules, payment methods, or formal refund/withdrawal terms are not listed). Families are provided the full, itemised fee schedule and payment terms directly by the Admissions Office during the application or offer process; contact information for Admissions is provided above.
