    • Statement/Invoice with a $50 late fee applied.
    • If an account becomes 60 days past due your student will not be allowed to return to class. 
    • The  only exception to this will be if approval is given before the 60th day through the WGCS Board with a revised  payment plan. This process would include a letter, to the WGCS Board, initiated by you, requesting a change in payment plan, although total amount due will not change.

  16. Financial Aid is awarded yearly, you are required to re-apply via FACTS for each year that you need financial assistance. Current families who are in good standing with WGCS will have priority each year in financial aid awards.
