Students are expected to pay the semester balance, less any financial aid, before the beginning of classes.
If a student is unable to pay the semester expenses upfront, Southern Adventist University offers a payment plan through the Student Account portal at southern.edu/payment.
Once a student registers, their account will be charged for tuition fees and other educational expenses. After the charges have been posted, students and/or authorized users can enroll in a payment plan at southern.edu/payment. Payment due dates are specific to the payment plan. The monthly payment may be automatically increased to cover additional charges, in addition to tuition and fees, that are incurred over the course of the semester.
Students who have filed for bankruptcy are not eligible for a monthly payment plan and should be prepared to pay their semester balance, in full, before classes begin. Students who have a history of non-payment on their account or whose accounts have been reported to a credit bureau may not be eligible for a payment plan and may be offered the default payment terms.
