are required  to fill out a SMART form. SMART offers the convenience of automatic deductions from
your bank account, payments by mail, web or telephone. Additionally,  payments may be charged to Amex, Discover or Mastercard. (A convenience fee applies to all credit card payments). If you choose automatic deductions from your checking account, we will need a “voided” check. SMART charges a once-a-year administrationfee to manage your account. (See Tuition and fee Schedule for amount). This fee will be added to your first tuition installment. (If you elect the Annual Pay Option, you will not be charged the administration fee. In this case your payment-in-full will be made to our Rectory, not SMART).
