Billing schedule and payment terms

- Schools operating a three‑term academic year commonly bill per term, with full payment due at the start of each term.
- Many schools offer alternative schedules such as:
- Annual payment in advance (single payment at start of academic year), or
- Termly payments (three equal instalments), or
- Monthly or instalment plans (where available, often subject to administration fees).
- Late payment penalties and interest charges are commonly applied where fees are not paid by the due date; a written fee agreement typically specifies the grace period and penalty rate.

Refund, withdrawal and fee‑credit terms

- Acceptance deposits and certain administrative fees are commonly non‑refundable.
- Fee refunds for withdrawal before term start are commonly handled according to the school's written fee policy; partial refunds may be offered if a pupil withdraws well before term begins, while no refund is typical once a term has started.
- Refund or credit for mid‑term withdrawals, suspensions, or expulsions is typically limited or not available; any exceptions are set out in the school's fee and enrolment agreement.

Fee payment options

- Bank transfer (local NGN account) — standard method for tuition and large one‑off payments.
- Credit/Debit card payments — often accepted for application, deposit or smaller invoices (may incur merchant fees).
- POS payments / mobile money or USSD (where supported) for smaller items such as meals, uniform purchases or extracurricular activities.
- Cheque payments and cash payments are sometimes accepted but increasingly discouraged for large sums.
- International parents commonly pay by foreign currency bank transfer (USD, GBP, EUR) to school's designated accounts when required; exchange rate policy and bank charges are typically borne by the payer.

Mandatory notice to parents
