Your child’s enrollment fee enables each UHC campus to maintain its daily business operations as an organization by covering our yearly costs, such as over $30,000 in insurance, banking and CPA/Accounting fees, curriculum, general supplies, background checks, rent and maintenance on three buildings, as well as a host of other overhead items.

Your family’s security fee enables each UHC campus to have a deputy present on all campuses 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 17, 2024 for Greenville and Spartanburg in order to have their tuition returned. After July 17, 2024, the tuition is deemed non-refundable, along with any lab fees, honors fees, and/or material fees.
All tuition refunds will be made by check and mailed after July 1, 2024.

After July 17,2024, Greenville and Spartanburg, 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 will be free for each student. Additional Drop/Add will be charged $10 Drop/Add fee per change/per student prior to July 17, 2024 for Greenville and Spartanburg. All Drop/Add changes after July 17, 2024 for Greenville and Spartanburg 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 21, 2024 will be an additional enrollment day for any middle and elementary 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.

Additionally, please remember that being a good steward of your student’s class spots is helpful to the many people on wait lists.

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.
