Participation in school trips, whether day or overnight, is a valuable enrichment opportunity provided to our students. To ensure smooth operations and planning, Union Academy maintains a strict no-refund policy for all trip-related fees and deposits. Parents are strongly encouraged to plan and confirm their registrations carefully in advance.
Refunds and Fees:
Non-Refundable Deposits and Fees: All payments for trips, whether deposits or full fees, are non-refundable after the registration deadline.
Pre-Deadline Refunds: If a refund request is granted before the registration deadline listed in MyPaymentsPlus (MPP), a 4% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
Post-Deadline Policy: No refunds will be issued after the registration deadline for any reason, including absences due to conflicting school activities, personal reasons, or behavioral issues. This includes, but is not limited to:
Removal from a trip by administration due to disciplinary actions (e.g., OSS or ISS), excessive absences or tardies.
Removal of a high school student from a trip for not completing required service hours.
This policy applies to all Union Academy trips, events, and activities. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to deliver meaningful experiences for our students.
