A Maggio Multicultural Academy withdrawal form must be completed and submitted to the finance department according to proper procedure for the refund to be issued.

SCHOLARSHIPS
All students applying for a missionary, military, or pastoral scholarship must complete the proper forms and submit all required verification items before the scholarship applications will be processed. If a student qualifies for a scholarship, the amount will be refunded to the family after enrollment. The scholarship committee reserves the right to approve or disapprove of scholarships and the amount of scholarships as per the guidelines established by the board. The decision of the committee is considered final and not subject to appeal.

Scholarships are available on 1st-12th grade tuition packages only. The scholarship amount may be prorated for half-year students.

COMPUTER & EMAIL ACCESS
In this ever-growing age of technology, Maggio Multicultural Academy relies heavily upon the mode of email for communicating important information with the family. This includes day-to-day help, alerts to upcoming deadlines, critical notices, re-enrollment information, and more. For that reason, Maggio Multicultural Academy expects the family to provide a valid email address upon enrollment and to update the Academy of any changes to that information. The Academy also expects that the family will have regular access to a computer and their email account.

If the family does not have a valid email address and/or regular access to a computer to check their email, they must alert Maggio Multicultural Academy staff immediately. The Academy recommends, at the very least, that the family create a free email account and seek to check their correspondence from a library internet connection on a regular basis. The family understands that the enrollment process and a considerable amount of customer contact throughout the school year will be delayed and/or non-receivable.

The family agrees they will not hold Maggio Multicultural Academy at fault for any circumstances that result due to poor email communication resulting from lack of a customer email address, invalid email address on file, and/or lack of regular customer access of their email account.
Most of our resources are available to be downloaded from our online portal. It is the responsibility of the family to have access to at least one computer and reliable internet to access these resources throughout the school year.

NO PROGRESS POLICY
Students are required to make adequate weekly progress. Students should work according to the academic calendar and pacing guides and work a minimum of three (3) hours per week per course. This is the minimum requirement – students should expect to spend five (5) hours per week per course. If students fall below this pace for more than 8 consecutive weeks, students will face an academic hold followed by academic withdrawal. Tuition is non-refundable for students that are academically withdrawn. Communication with your advisor is essential if circumstances occur that prevent your student from completing the weekly minimum number of hours in the online program.
