Your student’s enrollment fee enables each UHC campus to maintain its daily business operations by covering our yearly costs, such as over $45,000 in insurance, CPA/Accounting fees, website and HomeBase hosting, curriculum, general supplies, background checks, rent and maintenance on four buildings, as well as a host of other overhead items.

Your family’s security fee enables UHC to have a deputy present on each campus each day the organization is in operation.

Please refer to the Drop/Add procedure for current families in the Enrollment Instructions.

Any student wishing to drop a class or withdraw from UHC must do so on or before July 16, 2025 in order to have their tuition returned. After July 16, 2025, the tuition is deemed non-refundable, along with any lab fees, honors fees, and/or material fees. Note: Enrollment, Security, supply and photo fees are non-refundable at all times.

After July 16, 2025 the student is considered enrolled for the school year and the entire tuition is assessed to the account. This means that to drop a class or withdraw a student does not relieve the financial responsibility of the entire year’s tuition.

First Drop/Add is free for each student. Additional Drop/Add will be charged $10 Drop/Add fee per change/per student prior to July 16, 2025. All Drop/Add changes after July 16, 2025 will be charged a $25 late fee at the time of change. Change to/from Honors is considered a Drop/Add.

  • The fee does not apply if your child is moved off a waitlist.

August 20, 2025 will be an additional enrollment day for any elementary and middle school class that still has openings if you want to add a class. There will NOT be a late fee charged for adding a class. Drop will incur a $25 fee.

Please remember that being a good steward of your student’s class spots is helpful to the many people on waitlists.

A full family mid-year drop will cause all Parent Assistant responsibilities to be prorated based on the number of days attended. If no days have been served, then a parent assistant opt-out fee will be invoiced appropriately.

Exceptions will be made only by the Executive Director and/or Board of Directors in the event of a hardship. These might include but may not necessarily be (a) a job loss or (b) a job transfer to a location greater than 50 miles from the co-op. Written requests to be relieved of financial responsibility due to unforeseen circumstances must be presented to the Board in writing two weeks prior to the date the parent wishes to pull the student from a class. Unless the Board grants relief, the student’s grades (in some middle and all high school classes) will be held until all financial responsibilities have been met.
