Fees

Application / Registration fees

- New‑student registration (inscripción) and associated one‑time items: several fixed charges are collected at enrollment, including the registration fee (Cuota de inscripción), tutor life insurance (Seguro de vida tutores), personal accident insurance (Seguro de accidentes personales), parents' association fee (Cuota de padres de familia) and the SEP administrative fee (Cuota SEP). Example itemized amounts published for enrollment installments are: Cuota de inscripción MXN 7,700; Seguro de vida tutores MXN 2,820; Seguro de accidentes personales MXN 650; Cuota de padres MXN 150; Cuota SEP MXN 285; plus the IB program charge when applicable (Programa Bachillerato Internacional MXN 1,770). The total initial amount due for first‑semester admission is shown as MXN 13,375 (itemized as above).

Tuition (colegiatura) – by year/term and billing format

- Standard billing format: School invoices tuition as ten monthly colegiaturas per academic year (10 mensualidades, typically September through June). Tuition is billed as monthly payments unless an annual prepayment option is used.

- Published example amounts (2025/26 academic‑year reference): annual registration and monthly tuition published for 2025 show an annual registration (inscripción) of MXN 15,990 and a monthly colegiatura of MXN 7,300 payable across 10 months. Use these figures as the 2025/26 reference tuition schedule.

- Earlier published tuition example (2022 cycle) and IB breakdown (for reference of how monthly charges are composed): colegiatura base MXN 5,750 per month plus an IB program component MXN 300 per month, for a total monthly amount of MXN 6,050 (10 monthly payments). The institution applies IB related charges pro‑rata across the three years and may require a retroactive IB charge when entering after the first semester.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Number of payments and timing: Tuition is structured as 10 monthly payments covering September through June. Payment windows and due dates are set by the school. Published rules indicate colegiaturas must be paid within the first part of each month (examples show within the first 17 calendar days or specific monthly due dates) and late payment generates moratory fees. Specific past guidance noted a moratory surcharge for late colegiatura payment (example: 3% monthly in one published cycle).

- Discounts for advance payment: A discount is offered if the full 10‑month tuition is paid in advance (historical examples show discounts—e.g., an 8% discount for full annual prepayment in one cycle). Details on eligibility and deadlines are set by the school each year.

- Consequences of non‑payment: Failure to pay two colegiaturas may result in immediate suspension of educational services and, in repeated or unaddressed cases, administrative withdrawal. Students must be up to date with payments to be automatically re‑registered for the next period.

Boarding / residential fees

- Boarding: Not applicable. Prepa UPAEP Santiago operates as a day (presencial) preparatory campus; no boarding or residential program and therefore no boarding fees are listed.

Other recurring or occasional costs (examples and typical amounts)

- Program‑specific fees: When students participate in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program there are additional charges integrated into inscription and monthly tuition; an IB program monthly component and, for students entering after the first semester, a retroactive IB charge may apply. IB matriculation and certification fees can be charged in foreign currency and may be adjusted as required.

- Administrative and document fees (sample published amounts): Carta de buena conducta MXN 130; Constancia de estudios MXN 175; Carta de identificación IMSS MXN 130; Carta de no adeudo MXN 130; Examen extraordinario MXN 330; Reposición de credencial MXN 330; Certificado parcial completo MXN 700; Revalidación de estudios por semestre MXN 675. These service fees are charged when the specific service or document is requested.

- Optional extras and third‑party collections: Optional services (pre‑university programs, workshops, extracurriculars, optional insurance plans or medical agreements) and certain parent‑association or student‑association levies may be collected in addition to tuition; amounts and billing schedules vary and are published per cycle or communicated at the start of the year. Examples of third‑party collected items and sample values have been published in prior cycles.

- Uniforms, books and materials: The campus guidance indicates no uniform is required for day‑to‑day activities; students must supply required school materials and books as specified for their program. Costs for materials and devices (if applicable) are charged separately when applicable.

Refunds and cancellations

- Registration (inscripción) refund policy: If registration cancellation is requested at least 60 calendar days before classes begin, 100% of the registration payment will be refunded; if requested at least 30 calendar days before classes begin, 50% will be refunded. Once classes have started, registration refunds are not available. Refunds require the original payment receipts.

- Prepaid tuition refund on definitive withdrawal: If a student is withdrawn definitively after having made prepaid colegiatura payments, the unearned portion of prepaid tuition will be refunded after presentation of original payment documentation and provided there are no outstanding debts. Certification‑related withdrawals may require full payment of the 10 monthly colegiaturas for the period attended before final certification is issued.

Payment methods and invoicing

- Available payment channels: The institution accepts payments through bank deposit/transfer channels, payment‑ficha systems (Multipagos BBVA / Santander), online card payments (Visa, Mastercard; American Express accepted via specific channels), PayPal in some flows, domiciliation (automatic debit) and card tokenization for recurring colegiaturas. The school uses an administrative portal (Unisoft / SchoolNet) for generating payment references, receipts and electronic invoicing. Specific bank accounts, CLABE numbers and instructions are provided in the school's payment circulars and treasury guidance.

- Invoicing (facturación): Electronic invoices for inscription and colegiatura payments are issued automatically when payment is registered in the system; taxpayers' fiscal data must be entered in the billing section of the student account to generate the invoice in the requested name. There are cutoffs and system maintenance windows that affect same‑day invoicing.

Summary for parents (concise points to note)

- Expect a one‑time initial registration charge composed of several mandated items (inscripción + insurances + SEP fee + parents' fee + IB component if applicable). Example itemization and totals have been published for recent cycles.

- Annual tuition is normally collected as 10 monthly payments (September–June). Published 2025/26 reference amounts include a posted monthly colegiatura of MXN 7,300 with an annual registration of MXN 15,990; earlier cycles show different amounts and IB components are billed in addition where applicable.

- The school provides multiple payment channels (bank deposits, online card payments, domiciliation/automatic charge) and issues electronic invoices via its treasury system. Be prepared to supply fiscal data and the responsible payer's ID when registering for invoicing.

- Refund rules are time‑bound: full and partial refunds of registration are possible only if requested sufficiently in advance of the start date; prepaid tuition refunds for definitive withdrawal apply only to the unearned portion and require original receipts and no outstanding debts.
