Our Partnership with FACTS Management CompanyAt Front Range Christian School we are constantly looking for ways to concentrate our available human and financial resources on our primary mission of education. To help us meet this goal we will once again be partnering with FACTS Management Company to help manage our tuition payments for the 2012-2013 school year.
FACTS is the leading tuition management service in the nation serving more than 5,500 private and faith-based schools and over one million families. Our research indicates significant benefits to school staff and school families including convenience, flexibility, and secure on-line access to individual account information. You will have the choice to make your tuition payment in full or set up a monthly tuition payment plan.
Payment in full is made directly to Front Range Christian School (by check or money order). Payments received by May 31, 2012 will receive a 3% discount (for the 2012/2013 year). This date is extended if you are a new family to FRCS. If you have a SCRIP credit, you will receive notice from the Finance Office and you will need to reduce your tuition payment by the amount of your credit. Adjustments will be made to your tuition account to reflect your Scrip credit.
Budgeted EFT/ACH Payments: Payments you have authorized FACTS to process directly through your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved from a designated checking or savings account (annual processing fee of $38) on the 5th or 17th of the month.
Monthly payments through FACTS Management by EFT (electronic funds transfer) on the 5th or 17th of the month:
Semester payments: 2 equal payments (July and December) through FACTS Management by EFT.
With FACTS, the school maintains decision-making control. As always, we will continue to work with families should special circumstances or “hardship” cases arise during the school year.
ALL families making budgeted monthly or semester payments are required to have an active account through FACTS Management Company. If you are a returning family to FRCS and have an existing account with FACTS, you’re good to go! You can keep the same payment plan or indicate changes on your 2012-2013 Tuition Commitment Form on Re-Enrollment Day.
If you are a new family to FRCS, you will need to set up your new enrollment with FACTS. Click on FACTS Online Payment Instructions to direct you to the FACTS enrollment page. Sign in as a “NEW USER,” follow the simple steps and within minutes you will have your payment plan activated for the 2012-2013 school year.
If you have been awarded a tuition scholarship, your tuition will not be reduced until we have received your “Parent/Student Tuition Scholarship Agreement Letter” letting us know you agree to the terms of your scholarship. If you have applied for a scholarship and have not heard back, your tuition will be calculated through the normal process. Your tuition balance will be adjusted as soon as we receive your agreement letter.
While FACTS transacts each payment on the specified date (5th or 17th), it is your financial institution that determines the time of day the payment is debited. FACTS recommends checking with your financial institution to determine how far in advance funds should be deposited into your account to ensure the automatic payment clears. If a payment date falls on a weekend or banking holiday, the payment will be transacted the following business day.
Once your agreement for budgeted tuition payments is posted to the FACTS system, you will receive a confirmation notification of your payment amount by e-mail or letter in approximately 10 days. Payments will be processed until the total balance is paid in full. The notification contains information you must have to log on to MyFACTS Account permitting the responsible party to view their account online.
Should an automatic bank payment or credit card payment be returned, a $25.00 FACTS Returned Payment Fee will be automatically assessed to your account. This is in addition to any penalty your bank or the school may assess. You will be notified by FACTS of the returned payment via mail or e-mail. For payments scheduled for the 5th of the month, the reattempt will occur on the 17th; for payments scheduled for the 17th, the reattempt will occur on the 5th of the following month.
Front Range Christian School looks forward to our partnership with FACTS and the efficiency and technology it brings to our school. If any step of the process is unclear, do not hesitate to contact Peggy Adams (303-531-4546 or padams@frcs.org) or FACTS at 800-624-7092.
