3.1 Tuition Billing and Payment
3.1.1 Tuition is billed on the first of each month automatically for the corresponding session to the email address from the Student's application unless the Student specifies a different email address.

3.3.2. Referral Discount: Students can receive a $100.00 discount when they refer new potential students to Antares.

To qualify, the new student must indicate who referred them on their application or contact the School at colorado@antares.edu. The School will not reimburse for any discounts, so referring students must maintain their enrollment to receive the discount.
