PAYMENT: I understand that at the beginning of my work with College Drive LLC, I am responsible for my initial deposit ($250 for freshmen and sophomores, $500 for juniors and seniors) and the subsequent monthly (or for freshmen and sophomores - $250 semesterly) payment towards the total chosen package until completion of services or when either or both parties choose to cease working together. The Junior and Senior monthly payment is computed by subtracting the initial deposit from the total price and dividing that remaining total by the number of months the client will work with the student (counting from the 2nd month after the deposit to the May of senior year). I understand that I may choose to pay the entire package balance in advance for a 5% discount.
Payment methods include Zelle, Venmo, check, cash, and credit card. I understand that per Colorado SENATE BILL 21-091 a 2% processing fee will be charged for using a credit card. There is a $35 fee for returned checks.
CANCELLATION POLICY: If an appointment needs to be canceled for any reason, please contact College Drive LLC at least 24 hours in advance via text message at 970-403-5393.
