Admissions

Policies & Refunds

For continued enrollment at Enlightium Academy, each student is expected to maintain good standing: passing grades in core subjects and staying up-to-date with the assigned weekly schedule.

Students with failing grades in core classes and/or those who fall behind by more than two weeks on average across all classes, without excused absences, will be identified as "at-risk." This is to alert families of the risk that their student will not be able to complete the school year on time and/or with passing grades and, therefore, may need a summer school extension, class assignment adjustments, and/or teacher and counselor intervention. The interventions may include a course plan adjustment by the student’s counselor, teacher collaboration on student learning needs, and/or suggestions to install monitoring software on the student’s computer to provide additional accountability and uncover any potential distractions the student may have.

Students who do not demonstrate improvement or sufficient effort after multiple interventions may be recommended for withdrawal so the family can find a learning environment that better suits the student.

Absences may be excused per approval via the Absence Form. Please contact the Enlightium team if you have any questions at (509) 319-2288 or progress@enlightiumacademy.com.

Refunds

Credit and debit card refunds take 7–10 business days to process for transactions less than a month old. If the most recent transaction is over a month old, a direct deposit or check will need to be requested. Direct deposits can be processed within 3-4 business days. You may contact the Billing Department at billing@enlightiumacademy.com if you have any questions.

Withdrawal Process

Enlightium’s withdrawal process is simple. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with our program, just notify us within 14 calendar days of your student’s enrollment form being submitted, and we will issue a full refund on the tuition. A withdrawal after 14 days is subject to a withdrawal fee on the remaining tuition (see details above). We offer this guarantee as we are committed to providing outstanding support to the students and their families, please check our testimonials. Also, do you know that you can change the program or the level of support that better suits your student, please check here and reach out to our team.

If you are still thinking about withdrawing from our school, please follow the steps below:

  • Ensure that your family’s decision to withdraw is final. There is a $50-$250 reinstatement fee, depending on how much time has passed between the student’s withdrawal form being submitted and the request to be reinstated.
  • Initiate withdrawal by completing the form found on the withdrawal page. You will receive a confirmation email with information on finalizing your financial account and requesting transcripts.

Upon submission of the Withdrawal Form, Enlightium Academy will begin the withdrawal process. Our staff will contact you if further actions will be required. This process may take several business days.

Before withdrawing your student, please consider that several options may be available to help maintain their enrollment. Review some possible solutions below:
The family's financial status has changed.
If your student misses the social aspect of school and wants to have more interaction with peers.
The student has a hard time staying engaged in school work.
The curriculum is too difficult and/or requires a lot of work, or the student is waiting too long for teachers' assistance.
A family member has a serious or terminal illness and cannot assist the student in the learning process.
What do I do if I enroll my student under the continuous enrollment option and then change my mind or withdraw?

Tuition Policy

Payments can be delayed up to 30 days from students beginning coursework without impacting access to the course material. An email will be sent to you that will include payment setup information, the total amount due, the tuition breakdown, the number of payments, and the date you will be billed monthly, if applicable.

Payment reminders are sent three days prior to the scheduled charge date. If a payment is declined, an email will be sent which will allow a new card to be provided prior to the next scheduled attempt. After two additional attempts, the billing team will need to be notified to process the charge once the card has been updated and a $5 late fee will apply unless you are within your 14-day trial period.

  • If ten days pass from the original charge date without payment or an arrangement being made, the student’s account will be deactivated and a $25 reactivation fee will apply. An email with the details will be sent three days prior.
  • If 25 days pass from the original charge date without payment or an arrangement being made, the student will be withdrawn. A $50 reinstatement fee will apply.

Add-on fees are due within 30 days of enrollment. A member of the billing team will provide the relevant payment information via email.
