FACTS Tuition Payment System

Starting in the 2011 – 2012 school year, Bishop Baraga Catholic School will be partnering with the FACTS Management Company to manage our tuition payment program. We will be using this new system only to handle our tuition and scholarship processes, not enrollment. Each family will still need to enroll their child by stopping by the school office and completing the necessary paperwork. Below are some guidelines to help you get started using this new system.

Tuition Payment System
Do I have to register with FACTS?
If you plan on paying your tuition in full prior to the start of the school year (and receiving the 3% discount on tuition), then you DO NOT have to register with FACTS. Simply mail your payment to the school or bring it in to the school office.

If you plan on paying your tuition in installments throughout the school year, then you
DO need to register with the FACTS system.

Are there any fees involved in using this new system?
The FACTS Management Company charges an annual enrollment fee of $43 for each family. However, this fee will be paid by the school. If you choose to pay your tuition via credit card, the 2.5% convenience fee charged by the credit card company will be paid by the enrolling family.

How do I register?
Registration for the 2011-2012 school year beings on April 18th, 2011. Once you have completed your enrollment paperwork at the school, you can setup your tuition payment plan using the FACTS system. Registration can be easily completed online by following the steps listed below. For those who do not have internet access, please stop by the school office. You will be able to use a designated school computer to complete the online registration process.

Is it safe to enter my personal information into the FACTS System?
We understand that you can never be too careful when submitting your personal information online. The FACTS system uses the latest security and encryption techniques to keep your personal data safe. A complete description of the FACTS privacy and security is available on the company's Web site at www.factsmgt.com.

Why are we using this new system?
For the past several years, the school year has ended with unpaid tuition. These unpaid balances affect the school's ability to cover its operating costs. Many schools with similar difficulties have found that using a 3rd-party tuition management system to standardize their processes and provide flexible payment options has resulted in more timely tuition payments. The FACTS system will also reduce the amount of paperwork handled by the school office, freeing office administration to help with what is most important to you – educating your child!

Who do I contact if I have questions?
If you have any questions, please contact Bishop Baraga Catholic School at 231-627-5608 or the FACTS Management Company at 866-441-4637.
