Packet. Portions of tuition still owed because of failure to work the allotted<br />

hours awarded in the Work Grant Program or loss of financial assistance for<br />

other reasons will be charged back to the students tuition account for payment.<br />

C. Refund Policy-Tuition<br />

The tuition deposit is not refundable. If a student withdraws between May 1<br />

<strong>and</strong> the end of the third week of class, there is no refund of the deposit.<br />

Exceptions will be evaluated only in extenuating circumstances. If a student<br />

withdraws at any time after the first three weeks of class, tuition is charged on<br />

a pro-rata basis, calculated over the 36-week schedule. The tuition charge is<br />

then applied to the amount paid. Repayments of excess amounts paid over<br />

tuition charged will be refunded by check.<br />

D. Financial Aid Policies<br />

<strong>SLUH</strong> makes every effort to assist students with the financial aspects of their<br />

education. Great emphasis is placed on academic excellence <strong>and</strong> helping those<br />

who might not otherwise be able to attend <strong>SLUH</strong> because of financial<br />

limitations.<br />

<strong>SLUH</strong> offers families, whose son(s) have been admitted to the high school, the<br />

opportunity to apply for financial assistance using a national financial<br />

assessment formula based upon the need demonstrated. All students receiving<br />

aid are expected to participate in the work grant program.<br />

SECTION II-THE GUIDANCE PROGRAM<br />

Counselors:<br />

Mr. Dennis Dougan, Dr. Ken McKenna, Mrs. Mary<br />

Michalski, Mr. Dave Mouldon, Mrs. Nina See<br />

The Guidance Program at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Louis</strong> U. <strong>High</strong> is an integral part of the school's<br />

total educational program, which supports all levels of the school community.<br />

Counselors can serve as a bridge between all populations within the school.<br />

The program is educational <strong>and</strong> preventive rather than crisis-oriented in nature<br />

in dealing with all students while recognizing the fact that individuals have<br />

needs that will continue to require special attention. The primary focus of the<br />

counseling program is developmental <strong>and</strong> reflects a process of self-discovery<br />

<strong>and</strong> self-awareness as well as growth <strong>and</strong> development.<br />

The Guidance Program is primarily committed to issues of a process rather<br />

than a product, "how something is done rather than merely what is done."<br />

Self-assessment, reflections, <strong>and</strong> decision-making are life long skills upon<br />

which an individual should feel confident to rely upon when making decisions<br />

or choosing between alternatives. These skills are based upon an awareness of<br />

values, strengths, <strong>and</strong> weaknesses both academic <strong>and</strong> interpersonal.<br />
