From October, many schools begin the renewal periods or booking enrollment, which always causes concern to parents and students. Check out Procon-SP guidelines to avoid hassles: 

The school must disclose the proposed contract, the value of the annuity and the number of vacancies per room up to 45 days before the final date of registration. To apply the adjustment, school may add a percentage correction to be proportional to the increase in employee expenses, administrative and pedagogical. If in doubt, ask for presentation of a spreadsheet to prove these expenses. 

Attention! Figures for reforms and increasing the number of seats in classrooms for new students can not be passed on to consumers. 

The final value of the annuity must be included in the contract and will be valid for 12 months, ie before that deadline may be no adjustment. Any contractual clause indicating revision or adjustment before one year is zero, ie, has no validity or legal effect. This also applies to courses organized by semester. 

booking fee 

Usually a fee for job reservation is charged, so you need to be aware of the deadline set by the institution to its withdrawal, return of any amounts paid. 

It is important to remember that the amount paid by the wave of reservation must be deducted from the total annuity or half-yearly. 

waiver 

The student or guardian is entitled to full refund of the amount paid for registration to quit the course before the start of classes. 

See further guidance on the subject in the booklet "Open Enrollment" published in Procon-SP site.
