Program Tuition and
Refund Policy
2009 -
2010
Before enrolling your
student you should determine if he/she is able to commit the time
to traffic education classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction.
Only two absences are allowed. Missing classes or drive sessions
because of sports, band, or other activities will be considered an
absence. Students must also commit to practice their driving
between lessons.
There is no reduced
fee or scholarships for low-income students because Washington
State does not provide funding for traffic safety education
programs. Sorry, we cannot accept time or credit card payments.
Full tuition is due at the time of registration.
Tuition
is collected just prior to a scheduled session, e.g. payment for
after-school classes that begin in September will not be accepted
until the September registration day; tuition for the Saturday
program that begins in September will not be accepted until the
start of the new school year in September. (Please see individual
course headings on the Home page for registration dates or call the
Traffic Education office at 206) 252-4735.)
- Full course,
first time fee - $559.00
These fees apply to
students who have previously taken the course through the Seattle
Public Schools and need to repeat either the classroom portion or
behind-the-wheel driving sessions - or both.
- Repeat classroom only:
$125.00
- Repeat driving
instruction only: $318.00
- Repeat both classroom
and driving instruction: $318.00
There will be a $55.00
charge if a student misses the final drive session (final test) and
it has to be rescheduled.
Additional driving
sessions (outside of the usual instruction time) are available for
$55.00 an hour.
Refunds
Refund requests must
be made in writing (mail, fax, or email) by the parent/guardian
prior to the first day of class or the tuition will be
forfeited. If a class is canceled due to insufficient
enrollment, the full amount paid will be refunded. If the student
withdraws for any reason, the Course Repeat fee will apply if/when
enrolling at a later date. There is a $50.00 refund processing fee
for canceling a registration.
Check Return
Policy
Only
a money order will be accepted to replace a check that has been
returned from the bank because of insufficient funds, account
closed, etc. The course completion certificate will not be issued
until the account has been cleared.
