Message From our Tuition Manager

/in /by

Anyone wishing to use funds from their CHET accounts to pay for tuition will need to contact their CHET account administrator and ask if they allow 3rd party withdrawals (in our case this would be FACTS as we do not collect tuition at the school).

If they do, then you will want to contact FACTS at 1-866-441-4637 and give them the information needed for them to withdraw the funds.

If they do not allow 3rd party withdrawals, then you will need to find out from your CHET administrator  what their rules are for withdrawing funds for payment of tuition.

For any further questions, please contact Denise Mayo at 860-643-5088 ext. 7
