The registration fee of $175 and the kit fee of $5025 are non-refundable. These Fees insure availability and supplies for the date the student wants to be enrolled. A weekly payment plan is available to full-time students only. The Payment plan is as follows:

Kit and registration fee: $175 + $5025 (due one month prior to start date)

Finance Fee: $155 (Due first day of class attending)

Weeks 1-37: $260 due first day of each week.

Week 38: $180

**In addition to the $180 on week 38 will be any overages that the student may have incurred over the student's time at the Montana Beauty Institute. Overages will be calculated at the rate of $15 per hour for any unexcused absences.** 

If a student fails to pay a payment on their agreement, regardless of if the student is actively enrolled at the time, Montana Beauty Institute will be entitled to the student’s current balance in full, due and payable immediately. If legal action is required to collect  said balance owed to Montana Beauty Institute, the student will be responsible for all collection costs including collection agency charges, fees or attorney’s fees, regardless if  the situation is litigated. All balances due to Montana Beauty Institute must be paid in  full prior to being able to graduate. No request for records or diploma will be released until paid in full. 

Extra-Instructional Charges Policy:

Each course/program has been scheduled for completion within an allotted time frame. A grace period of approximately ten days (8 hour days) has been added to the calculated completion date for each program. It is not realistic to expect to receive an education for free. The school has reserved space, equipment, and licensed instructors for each student and course/program. If a student does not graduate within the contract period, additional training will be billed at the rate of $15 per hour needed to complete the program, or any part thereof, payable in advance, until graduation. Students will not be allowed to clock in until applicable weekly payments are made.
