Refund Policy
Thank you for supporting and participating in Harbor Light Academy, a nonprofit private school. This Refund Policy outlines the terms under which refunds may be issued for payments made through our website or directly to the school. By making a payment to Harbor Light Academy, you agree to the terms of this Refund Policy.
1. Donations
As a nonprofit organization, donations made to Harbor Light Academy are generally non-refundable. If you believe a donation was made in error, duplicated, or unauthorized, please contact us within 14 days of the transaction at kevin.goetz@harborlightacademy.com. Approved refunds will be issued to the original method of payment when possible.
2. Application and Enrollment Fees
Application fees and enrollment fees are typically non-refundable, as they are used to process admissions materials and reserve placement for students. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the school administration under special circumstances.
3. Tuition Payments
Tuition refunds are governed by the school's enrollment agreement and withdrawal policies. Unless otherwise stated in writing:
- Tuition may be refundable on a prorated basis if a student withdraws before a specified deadline.
- No refunds may be issued for partial attendance, absences, disciplinary dismissal, or voluntary withdrawal after the refund deadline.
- Fees already incurred by the school may be deducted from any approved refund.
Parents or guardians should contact the school office for questions regarding tuition adjustments or withdrawal procedures.
4. Events, Camps, and Programs
Refunds for school-sponsored events, camps, workshops, or extracurricular programs may be available if cancellation requests are received before the published registration deadline. Refunds generally will not be provided for:
- Missed attendance
- Late cancellations
- Failure to participate
- Scheduling conflicts outside the school's control
If the school cancels an event or program, participants may receive a full refund, credit toward a future program, or transfer to another available session.
5. Merchandise and Uniforms
If applicable, merchandise or uniform items purchased through the school may be returned within 14 days of purchase if items are unused and in original condition, tags and packaging remain intact, and proof of purchase is provided. Customized, personalized, or final-sale items are non-refundable unless defective.
6. Refund Processing
Approved refunds are typically processed within 5–10 business days. Processing times may vary depending on your payment provider or financial institution.
