Class registration is not officially completed until all fees are paid, except for those students who are: a) directly certified by the State of Illinois for food benefits; b) have qualified for a fee waiver pursuant to Belvidere CUSD 100 Policy 4.14 Waiver of Student Fees; or c) have formally enrolled in the District’s monthly installment plan described below. Each parent/student is financially responsible for payment of fees and charges assessed to his/her student account. Parents/students will receive fee notification with student registration information. Payment of fees is due by the specified published due dates. Students who have not paid their account in full (or are not current with installment plan payments) on or before the published payment deadline will be subject to the assessment of late charges.  In addition, delinquent student accounts may be referred to an external agency for collection.  Accounts paid by a check which is returned by the bank uncollected are not considered paid. There is a $35 service charge for returned checks. If a returned check transaction has been posted to a student account, District 100 reserves the right to refuse future payment in the form of a personal check from any individual for that student’s account. Parents/Students may choose to complete the fee payment portion of registration conveniently by paying their student account online under the “Parent” tab on the District 100 homepage. Students may also pay the required fees at the District Administration Building, 1201 5th Avenue, Belvidere, IL 61008. Students enrolled in the District’s monthly installment plan should remit their payment online, via the payment link noted above on or before the first of the month.

Monthly Installment Plan

The Monthly Installment Plan allows for payment of student fees in up to eight installments (August-March). Installment payments must be remitted online via the payment link on or before the first of the month.  The Monthly Installment Plan operates according to the following guidelines:

1. The student account balance with the District must not be delinquent and prior year charges must have been paid on a current basis (or rolled into the current year monthly payment) to be considered for the installment plan.

2. Payments must begin on Aug. 1 and be completed by March 1 of the academic year.

3. To enroll in the monthly installment plan, please contact the District’s accounting department at (815) 544-0301.

4. Adjustments are made to monthly installment plan payments as charges and/or credits occur.

5. In the event of a payment default, the District may refuse the parent/student a subsequent installment plan.

6. All payments, which are due on the first of the month, must be current. If a student’s installment account is not kept current, a late payment fee of $10 per month will be added to the account until paid.

7. Automatic deduction using a debit card from a checking or savings account is available.

Refund Policy

1. Fees are refundable on a pro-rated basis only when a student officially withdraws prior to the beginning of the second semester.

2. The date of withdrawal for refund purposes is considered the date the Notice of Withdrawal form is received by the District.  Any student who thinks that his or her individual case warrants an exception to this policy should follow the appeal procedures set forth in the Waiver of Student Fees Policy 4.140.
