Notes

All students are required to pay the Academy fees on a timely basis.
On first joining, students must pay the admission fees (non-refundable), tuition fee, and caution money deposit (refundable) in advance, prior to attending the Academy, by the designated date.
Students are required to pay tuition and transport fees (if eligible) based on the invoice issued through BEFTN or direct deposit at the bank.
School bus transport cancellation must be given two months prior to the cancellation date. Otherwise, two months’ transport fees will be deducted from the deposit.
Field trips and any other off-campus educational experiences not included as part of the compulsory curriculum are charged as and when conducted.
Exam fees for MYP and DP will be billed separately based on the actual fee charged by the IB and other related and incidental expenses.
Payments made after the due date are considered to be ‘late’.
Late fee payment: Fees not paid by the due date will attract a late fee penalty of 2% per month on the outstanding balance at the end of the month.
The Aga Khan Academy Dhaka will send two reminders to the parent, requesting payment in full of all fees due (along with late fines if applicable). The parents are responsible for ensuring that the Academy has their updated and functional email address.
If the payment is not made within the stipulated time of the first reminder, the following actions will be taken for non-payment:

Student shall be removed from ManageBac.
If payment is not received within the next seven days of the above action, the child shall not be allowed to attend classes.
If the payment is still not received within the next seven days, the child will be de-enrolled from the Academy.

In the case of a student being de-enrolled or expelled, no fees will be refunded except for the caution money deposit.
The Academy retains the right to set off or adjust dues from the caution money deposit or any other amounts the family owes to the Academy.
Claims for refund of caution money deposit are to be made in writing, using the required form, within one year of the date of leaving the Academy.
The Academy reserves the right to withhold results, school certificates, transfer certificates, transcripts, university referrals or any other information and/or documents in the event that fees or any other dues payable to the Academy are outstanding or not paid in the manner directed.
The Board of Directors of the Aga Khan Education Service, Bangladesh reserves the right to make changes to these rules from time to time as it deems necessary.
Student withdrawals and notices:

The communication of withdrawal by the parent for the beginning of the next academic year must be sent to the respective school principal's office by 3 March of the current academic year.
If the communication is received after 31 March, the withdrawing student's full first-term fee for the next academic year must be paid.
If the withdrawal is to take place in the middle of the academic year, the Academy requires 90 days' written notice prior to the beginning of the next term.
If the withdrawal application is not received 90 days before the beginning of the next term then the following charges shall apply:
- 60-89 days before the start of the next term will be charged 25% of the next term's fees.
