Further Information
Instead of signing a contract at Registration, all students will now be required to complete this form online. This agreement was created in hopes to better communicate SCU billing policies to the students and to create a more efficient process for students to acknowledge their financial responsibility for their student account. As is stated in the Academic Catalog, SCU believes that teaching sound financial stewardship is a vital part of the University experience.

Online Forms Required
All students are required to accept financial responsibility and select a payment schedule through completing the SCU Student Financial Agreement and Payment Plan form. First payments must be made by the first payment due date in order to be authorized to attend classes.
NOTE: You must be logged into your @swcu.edu student email account to access the form.
Other Important Information
All charges for students taking less than 6 credit hours per semester must be paid in full at the beginning of each class.
A late payment fee of $50 will be charged for payments not made by the due date. If the total amount due (sum of payments plus $50 late fee) is not paid, the student may be removed from class.
Students should be diligent in checking the My Ledger link on the student portal for remaining or adjusted balances:
- Adjustments to financial aid (loans, grants, scholarships)
- Changes in enrollment (adding or dropping classes)
- Changes in housing
- Book charges
- Fines or fees
If any of these changes occur after the last payment date, the balance is due at the time of the change.
- All accounts must be settled by the end of each semester before a student can re-enroll for the next semester.
- Students will be placed on hold if a balance remains after the final payment is due. A hold will prevent the following actions including but not limited to receiving official or unofficial transcripts and diplomas, pre-enrollment for the following semester, and reserving housing.
- Though it is deemed a last resort, balances may be submitted to professional collections after two (2) months delinquency. Please help us avoid this process by making your payments on time and keeping your contact information updated with the Business Office.
