EXPLANATION OF FEES
These fees are charged because of upkeep of equipment and use of materials. One-time registration fees and book fees are charged each year to every student. These are due upon enrollment and are non-refundable.
Registration fees cover various tests, ACEA fees, insurance, etc. The Book fee covers all the necessary textbooks that will be used by the student, including both non-consumable and consumable books.
The students do not purchase their books by paying the Book fee. For textbooks that are lost or returned in bad condition, the student will be charged the wholesale price to replace that textbook.
Fees relating to participation, such as sports, are non- refundable if the student is put off the team/squad due to behavior or academics.
Fees for academic related items will be charged on September's bill unless pre-paid.
Fees for sports related activities are due at the beginning of participation for a particular activity.
However, only one sports fee will be charged per student per year. The graduation fee includes the cost of the diploma and cap and gown rental or purchase. This fee is due by the last tuition payment.

FINANCIAL POLICY

Cornerstone receives no Government funds or assistance from the State, and depends solely upon regular income and gifts to meet the salaries of the faculty and staff and operating expenses.
