PAYMENT GUIDELINES
Deadlines
UST requires all fees to be paid in full by the date stated on the invoice. Invoices will be sent out 7-8 weeks before the end of the previous term. Parents remain responsible for the timely payment of invoices, even in cases where a third party such as a company is making the payment. Students whose tuition has not been paid by the beginning of the following term will not be permitted to attend the school and the school will seek to reallocate their place to the next person on the waiting list.
The fees for the new academic year must be paid by April 28th. If the payments are not made by April 28th, the school will reallocate the places of students whose fees have not been paid to potential students on the waiting list without additional notice.
All fees must be paid by bank transfer and made under the name of the student.
Joining Fees for New Students
In order to safely secure your child a spot at UST, Joining Fees for new students must be paid within one week of receiving the Joining Fee invoice. Any delinquent payments without prior notice will result in withdrawal of the admission offer.
Re-Enrollment Fees for returning students
Students who leave the school and later re-enroll, will be asked to pay the Registration Fee as part of their re-enrollment procedures. Development Fee for returning students will be waived.
Late Enrollment
For students enrolled after the school year commences, tuition and bus fees will be calculated based on the 3 academic terms. If a student is transferring into the school in the middle of a term, the family will be charged for the full term or half the term depending on the enrollment date. The school Fees do not get prorated and must be paid prior to the enrollment date.
Refunds
Once paid, the 25,000 yen Application Fee is not refundable.
The school fees (One-Time Fees or Annual Fees) are not refundable.

The office will advise the student’s teacher(s) of the pending withdrawal so that report cards and other necessary document could be prepared.
If the family needs a recommendation letter to accompany the students to the new school, they must put an official request through the school office. The school will not issue any recommendation letters or report cards until outstanding fee payments are settled.
Late Payments
In cases of late payments without any prior notice, school policy prohibits class attendance and/or the release of grades, transcripts, recommendations or other school records of attendance and performance. A WEEKLY late charge fee of 10,000 yen will be applied to all cases of delinquent payments.
