By default, Blackbaud Tuition Management (BBTM) collects payments through ACH bank draft. Payments to BBTM using credit cards, separate invoicing, and/or personal checks may require a convenience fee charged and collected by BBTM. Accepted cards are VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Please note that no credit card, debit card, or check payments may be made in the Business Office for any school charges. All check payments must be mailed to Blackbaud Tuition Management at PO Box 11731, Newark, NJ 07101-4731. Please remember, your BBTM Family ID must be included on the check.
•
Tuition Insurance: The Dewar Tuition Refund Plan is available to Kindergarten through 6th Grade students to insure a portion of the financial obligations associated with each enrollment contract. The School requires the tuition refund plan for all K-6th grade semi-annual and ten pay payment plans. Due to its own contractual obligations, RPDS regrets that there is no cancellation or refund of charges for absence, withdrawal, or dismissal before the end of the school year.
•
Splitting Tuition/Fees: Requests to have the responsibility for the payment of all tuition/fees divided between responsible parties are honored when this split is clearly indicated on the enrollment contract and both parties have signed an agreement noting the same percentages.
