Tuition & AM/PM Care – Late Payment All tuition, AM/PM care, and other charges are due on the first of each month (August thru May). Be-ginning in October 2011, accounts not paid-in-full will be assessed a $15 late charge on the 16th of each month. CCI Applications In the past, there have been issues with the CCI office claiming they did not receive someone’s CCI forms. Starting immediately, please turn your CCI paperwork in to the RCS office. RCS staff will take responsibility for bringing all CCI application forms to the CCI office each week to insure that we get a receipt for the paperwork.
