In order to ensure the best possible experience for our students, families, educational groups
and staff, we enforce the below policies.*
Registration
A student's enrollment in a particular SAT batch is only guaranteed when we receive the
initial deposit. Registering your student through
MyPortal simply informs us of
your interest in the program and allows us to keep you up to date on relevant information
regarding upcoming batches.
In situations where there is a high demand for a particular batch (for example, in February and
March when students applying to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM) and are in need to take SAT by December),
we will automatically move registrants who are not interested in the same, to a different batch.
Registrants who prefer a specific batch that is full at the time of enrollment may request
to be placed on a waiting list. As space becomes available, we will contact waiting list
registrants in the order that we received their MyPortal registration.
While we will follow up with prospects who have expressed interest in our program, we cannot
reserve or guarantee spaces for prospects who have not officially registered in MyPortal or
who have registered in MyPortal
, but have not submitted their deposit after three (3) payment reminders.
Fee Structure, Payments and Discounts
Total program fees must be paid in full within the first three months of the program. A 50%
initial deposit is due within 30 days of your SAT batch start date. We will call all parents
to confirm their interest in a particular batch before sending the invoice. Thirty days
after the course begins, the second payment of 25% is due. Thirty days after that, we will
issue the final invoice for the remaining 25%, minus any discounts.
We accept payments by ACH (debit authorization from checking or savings account), check and
cash only. ACH payments can be made directly online by clicking on the link in your invoice
email if you are making the full payment. We automatically disable the bank payment and
credit card payment option, as we add your payment details to our recurring payment plan
system for us to process the tuition fees every month. The credit card company's processing
fee of 3% is added if the payment is to be made by credit card. Checks should be made
payable to Ramana Coaching Center. Please Note: Checks returned to RCC as a result of
insufficient funds are subject to a fee of $25 as allowed by the State of North Carolina.
For parents/guardians of remote students, we encourage you to submit your initial deposit no
later than one week before class begins to ensure that your students receive all of their
course materials before the first day of class. We will mail the materials to remote
students upon receipt of the deposit.
Discounts and Referral Programs cannot be
combined. We will apply the largest discount to your final invoice. If you participate in
our Referral Program, then please remember that referral discounts will only apply to new
families/groups. For example, if you refer a Stay-Ahead student to our SAT program, then the
Referral Program discount will no longer apply. If you refer a student who has never fully
enrolled in any of our programs, then the discount will apply.
If you are a new registrant who was referred to our program by a friend, colleague or family
member who is currently enrolled, then you may enter in their referral code when prompted
during your registration process.
A non-negotiable $20 late payment fee will be billed to ALL accounts when payments are
received after the indicated due date.
A full refund of SAT program fees can ONLY be issued before a student has been approved to a
batch.
Scheduling
Our SAT program schedules are separate and independent of academic calendar schedules. While
we do observe major US holidays, we do not observe spring breaks and similar academic
holidays. A full schedule, including any weekends off, will be shared with registrants
before class begins.
We align our standard prep course with the College
Board's SAT Test dates, so we cannot move classes in order to
accommodate someone who did not attend class. However, the student may login into their MyPortal and view the recordings. For test practice days, we will email the test taken
on that day.
Generally, we accept between 10 - 15 students for each SAT batch. This is to ensure that we
maintain our small class size so that students get the most value out of their prep
experience. If the numbers for a particular batch are either too low or too high, we may
encourage those registrants to join a different batch.
Cancellation
If a parent cancels a students' assigned class after the RCC approval process, but before
the session begins, there will be a $100 cancellation fee.
If a parent cancels a students' assigned class after the first week of class, there will be
a charge of the $100 cancellation fee plus the cost of the first two
weeks.
If a parent chooses to completely end their students' participation after the first two
weeks of classes, there is no refund. However, the parent has the option to place the
student "on a break" status and then have the student reassigned to a batch at a later date.
Ramana Coaching Center has the right to cancel SAT Enrollment if a student:
Disrupts classroom operations
Disrespects teacher and/or peers
Is caught cheating
Misses too many sessions
* We reserve the right to change our policies at any time for any reason. We encourage you to
periodically visit this page for updates.
