            Our daughter *********************** has been attending RSM, ****** the last 5 years and prior to that our older daughter attended RSM as well. Every year RSM emails parents asking them to enroll their kids for the next school year in advance and only announce class timings later. There is no mention of the registration fee being non-refundable and the school reiterates that every effort will be made to give options to the student to accommodate their ever changing high school and activity schedule. Therefore we registered our rising 10th grader and $100 was charged to our auto pay bank account. We have been trying to get a class that our daughter can attend but not able to find a class with timings she can attend. So we have been pleading RSM, ****** to refund our $100. And they are refusing to pay us back. We are requesting a refund as our daughter is unable to attend RSM in the 2023-24 school year. Thank you for your help.
