TERMS OF PAYMENT
CTY-Mexico families pay the tuition deposit and application fee when they apply to the program. These payments are processed (checks cashed, credit cards charged) immediately upon receipt; this does not mean mean the student has been assigned to a course.
The balance of tuition will be invoiced at course assignment and is due in full by April 15.
REFUND POLICIES
To withdraw your child from the program for any reason prior to arriving on site, you must notify the CTY Registrar in writing. Once on site, you must notify the site director. Refunds take approximately 4-6 weeks to process from the time that the withdrawal notification is received by the CTY Registrar.
