- Late fee payment: Fees not paid within 30 calendar days of the due date (i.e., by 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2026) 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 addresses.

- If payment is not received in the next 7 days of the above action, the student shall not be allowed to attend classes.
- If payment is still not received from the above action, a second and final reminder will be issued for payment in the next 7 days. Should the payment remain outstanding after this period, the student 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.
