The Student Finance Office will assist students in their financial planning. Financial aid is available to qualified recipients in the form of scholarships, assistantships, and loans. However, responsibility for payment of Southern Adventist University expenses rests with the student, regardless of any assistance which may be expected or received from federal financial aid, Southern Adventist University, employers, or any other source.
Each year, before registering, each student must sign the Financial Responsibility Agreement indicating acknowledgment of this responsibility.
Information on student costs and means of paying those costs is given throughout this "Financial Policies" section of the Catalog to assist students in financial planning. Student financial responsibility includes awareness of this information and the willingness to seek assistance from their Graduate Finance Counselor when help is needed.
Any charges to a student's account, outside of the normal educational expenses, must be approved by the Student Finance Office. Examples of charges which will not be approved are student club dues.
