Registration Policy & Procedures
Southern University Laboratory School is a tuition-based school, and in order to operate properly and effectively, we must have sufficient funds in place. As we continue to maximize the learning opportunity for our students, it is imperative that families not only fulfill their financial obligations, but also pay them in a timely manner.
Beginning the 2021-2022 school year, students must be current in their tuition and fees prior to the start of school. In order to receive a schedule and/or attend class, your child must be registered following the prescribed financial guidelines outlined by the institution. Parents who choose the deferment option must pay at least the required 50% and meet the stated deadlines for continuous payments. Students who are awarded the Foundation Fellowship Award or students who qualify for tuition-exemption are required to pay fees in full. Additionally, parents who choose to pay tuition in full, must fulfill that obligation prior to the start of school.
Registrations Policies
SULS/SU Tuition Exemption Students
Parents must submit all completed forms with approval by August 1, 2021, for an exemption to be applied. The exemption will not be applied without approval signatures. Once the exemption is applied, payment must be received prior to the first day of school. The application is located on the SULS app under documents and you can also obtain a copy from the Front Office.
Payroll Deduction
Payroll deduction forms are available on the SUBR website under Human Resources. Parents who use payroll deduction must submit documentation with proof of the payroll deduction approval. This documentation must be submitted prior to the first day of school to be considered registered (paid).
Foundation Fellowship Award Recipients
Parents must pay prior to the first day of school. These families are not allowed to apply for a deferment.
Deferment Policies
Deferments allow families to make partial payments for each semester.
Parents will be required to make a payment of 50% of the total amount for the semester prior to the start of school. The remaining balance will be divided into three equal payments.
In order to qualify for deferment, the student account must have a zero balance from the previous school year. If the deferment application is denied, full payment is required prior to the first day of school.
All Fall semester tuition and fees must be received by October 31, 2021, and Spring semester tuition and fees must be received by March 31.
If either of the preceding dates falls on the weekend, payments are due the next business day. Students who fail to meet their financial obligation prior to the preceding date(s) will be dismissed from class.
Failure to meet payment deadlines will result in denial of the option to defer payments for one calendar school year. Deferment applications are available on the first day of Registration.
Families who receive a Foundation Fellowship Award will not be granted a deferment.
Finally, failure to rectify and/or fulfill your financial obligations will result in your child/children not being able to re-enroll or register at Southern University Laboratory School in the future.
