you by that date, then payment has to be made on or before June 30. Otherwise, it can
be any time before enrollment for AY2020-2021, as you cannot be enrolled unless you are
cleared of your accountabilities.

Official Receipt

Q: I have already sent the proof payment to PSBA-Manila, will the School issue an official
receipt to me?
A: Yes, an Official Receipt will be issued once the payment has been validated against
the School’s bank statements. A scanned copy of the OR will be sent through email.

Rebate/Refund

Q: Will there be a tuition fee refund charged for second semester of AY2019-2020?
A: There will be no tuition fee refund. Tuition fees go to the salaries and benefits of
employees and Faculty members. Even during community quarantine, the academic staff
and support staff continue to work to ensure the delivery of School services. However, in
consideration of the adverse economic impact brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic,
the School implements the following:

• 20% of the Miscellaneous Fees amounting to Php1,588.00 shall be applied as
  rebate or refund to Undergraduate Program students.
  – Rebate to be applied to existing financial obligations or to School Fees for
  the first semester of AY 2020-2021.
  – Refund for graduating students (but if they still have financial obligations
  with the School, the amount will be offset against their balance).
• As has been previously communicated, the School accepts partial payment of
  students’ financial obligations through submission of Promissory Note (PN). The
  PN will be submitted through email ([email protected]), addressed to the
  Office of the President. The PN must be duly signed by your parent or guardian.
  Proof of identification (scanned copy of student ID and government ID of the
  parent/guardian) must be attached to the PN.

Academic Year 2020-2021

Q: When is the enrollment for the first semester of AY2020-2021?
A: The enrollment schedule will be communicated as soon as the School’s Academic
Calendar has been approved by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Tentative
first day of regular classes is on August 24, 2020. In the meantime, pre-enrollment is
ongoing, so students are directed to accomplish the online Pre-Enrollment Survey. Survey

A: CHED will release its final guidelines on flexible learning first week of July. Thereafter,
the School will submit its Learning Continuity Plan including curricular modifications
indicating mode of student interaction, delivery and tools. It will be premature for the
School to share more details at this time. We are excited to communicate all the details
with students, and we will do so as soon as we receive CHED’s approval.

Q: How much will be the tuition fees?
A: The schedule of School fees will be communicated when we receive the approval from
CHED of our School’s Learning Continuity Plan.

[email protected] to check on the availability of requested documents.
