1. Installment Payment Fees
If you choose to pay tuition in installments, the following fees may apply:
Handling Fee:
- A $2 handling fee is applied to every installment, regardless of the payment method.
Processing Fee:
- Certain payment platforms charge an additional 6% processing fee.
- Applicable platforms: Wintopay, PayPal, Geoswift, Xendit.

4. Payment Processor / Platform Fees:
Certain payment platforms charge extra fees to cover transaction costs.
- Convenience / Processing fees via PayMyTuition:
- When using international bank transfers, credit cards, or e-wallets, PayMyTuition may add a small convenience fee charged by the processor.
- This fee is not collected by ACLAS; it goes to the payment processor to cover operational costs.
This ensures students clearly understand what to expect during tuition payments, including any potential additional fees.
