A 2% discount is offered for early payment of tuition (pago anticipado de colegiaturas). An exceptional enrollment window applies a 2% surcharge on the base tariff and does not qualify for the early-payment discount.
- Payment by the school's indicated online platform (Toku) requires the cardholder to create a mandate on the Bradford Pay / Toku portal prior to payment (mentions PAC or PAT options for that platform). The matriculation instructions recommend preparing the chosen payment method in advance and completing the SchoolNet steps.
