The Student Finance Office will assist students in their financial planning. Financial aid is available to qualified recipients in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and work opportunities. 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, parents, Southern Adventist University, or any other source.
Starting in the summer of each academic year, each student must sign the Financial Responsibility Agreement (FRA) indicating acknowledgment of this responsibility. The FRA must be signed before registering for classes.
Information on student costs and means of paying those costs is given throughout the catalog to assist students in financial planning. Student financial responsibility includes awareness of this information and the willingness to seek assistance from the Student Finance Office when help is needed.
