4. Tuition Payment Plan (also called Subscription). There are three different ways that you can pay for a course in 5 monthly payments. Payment plans are only available for full year and spring courses, not summer courses. They are only available until August 31. Also, all payment plans charge an extra $10 handling fee per course. If you run into any problems while using them, call (724-783-6512) and/or email (drhbr1950@gmail.com). There are three different ways to pay:

• Payment plan by Check. Here is how it works: The family mails in a *packet* of checks, totaling the whole tuition fee (early bird fee applies if payment is mailed before July 1, 2023) — one check should be dated for the current date, and the rest can be postdated over the following several months, with no check dated later than December 31, 2023. There is a $10 handling fee per course added when payments are made, to be included with the first check to be deposited. Please include a *separate* set of checks for each course. For example, if you are registering for both AP Psychology and AP US History, send in a full series of checks for AP Psychology and a second series of checks made for AP US History. PLEASE PUT THE STUDENT NAME AND THE COURSE TITLE ON EVERY CHECK on the 'memo' line!!! This way our deposits will be accurate-- and we'll save much time in handling your payments. Here's how you do it:
  • Register for Courses from each Course Description from "Our Courses" Course Listing. Don't check the checkbox next to "Check here to automatically pay in 5 monthly payments" because you want the full price to go into your cart, not the automatic subscription price (which is only for those who are paying by payments using credit cards or ACH bank transfer).
  • After you have added the last item to your cart, Select the "Mail in Check" button.
  • Print two copies of the "What's in my Cart" page, one to mail and one for your records. We need the student and parent EMAIL addresses, your phone number, and the student's birthdate (for the student's transcript).
  • Fill out five checks for each course, with dates approximately 1 month apart with the first check dated for today. The first check for each course should be for the full price of the course (i.e., the Subtotal if you are only ordering one course) divided by 5 plus $10. The other 4 should be for price divided by 5. No check should be dated after December 31.
  • Snail mail your "What's in my Cart" page with your 5 checks for each course (payable to AP Homeschoolers) to the following address:

    AP Homeschoolers
    105 Richman LN
    Kittanning PA 16201

• Payment plan by Credit Card. You can pay by credit card directly from the website. Start just like you would if you were paying the whole amount by credit card. (In other words, click on "Our Courses" on the sidebar, then click on the class.) If this payment option is available for this course at this time of year, you will see a checkbox which states next to it: "Check here to automatically pay in 5 monthly payments, each being 1/5 this price plus $2." Check that box, and after choosing or adding the student, click on "Add to Cart". After you check out, your payments will be taken out of your credit card account 5 times, at monthly intervals starting with the day you check out. Don't use a credit card that will expire before the last payment because your payments will be processed automatically from your credit card for 5 monthly payments starting with the day you check out, and changing your credit card info in the middle of a payment plan would be a huge hassle for both you and us. 
  
  
• Payment plan by Bank Transfer from US Bank.  This is the BEST WAY for you because you save 1% of your tuition, just as you would if you were paying the entire amount through bank transfer from a U.S. bank account (explained in #2 above), and the best way for us because we don't have to deal with bounced check fees or expired credit cards. You basically do everything the same way as you would when paying by credit card, except that you choose ACH Bank Transfer when you check out. The price is just $10 per course more than you would pay if you paid the full amount right away through ACH Bank Transfer (see #2 above). After you check out, your payments will be taken out of your bank account 5 times, at monthly intervals starting with the day you check out, and you will save 1% off the tuition price each time.

5. ACH Transfer from a non-US bank to our international bank account-- You start by sending us an email (aphomeschoolers@gmail.com), Subject: Invoice Request - Class Tuition) in which you include all of the info for each class, including:

• name of class
• student name
• student email
• student birth date
• parent name
• parent email
• parent address
• phone number

In return we will email you back an invoice which will include all of the information that you will need for making the ACH (Automated Clearing House) money transfer from your bank account to our bank account (at Wise Bank, which has offices in the U.S. and Belgium). After you make the payment, Wise Bank will email us a notice, and we will email you a receipt.
