The Student Finance advises students about the availability of grants, scholarships, and loans from institutional, private, and government sources. Student Finance is also responsible for managing student accounts.
You are encouraged to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by going to fafsa.gov or downloading the My Student Aid app and filling out the application electronically. Student Finance processes financial aid information and generates a Financial Aid Offer Letter that notifies you of your eligibility. You may view your financial aid in the Financial section of MyAccess. Once you accept the financial aid offer and are recognized as enrolled at Southern after the census date, the financial aid will be credited to your student account.
You are also encouraged to work with a student finance counselor and develop a financial budget. Students are expected to have their account paid in full or be current on a payment plan each semester to register for the next semester. Accounts must be current by the start of each semester in order to continue enrollment at Southern. Students or parents should contact Student Finance if their financial situation changes.
A student convicted in a court of law of a drug violation may lose eligibility for federal financial aid. Student Finance will explain to any affected student the requirements for regaining eligibility for federal financial aid.
