 You may make payments online at https://mycampus.swu.edu/ics  using one of the following methods:  Master Card, Discover Card, Visa, eCheck,* or American Express*.

 A student will be allowed to participate in graduation only if all financial obligations to the university have been met.

No diplomas or transcripts will be released until all accounts with the university (including parking fines, library fines, and business office and bookstore bills) have been settled.

Southern Wesleyan University considers the acceptance of a registration slip as a contract binding student and parents for charges for the entire semester.

However, when withdrawal from school or a class becomes necessary, reduction in charges (tuition-only) will be made according to the following scale:

After the fourth week there will be no reduction in tuition charges.

 There will be no refund of fees.
     
Board will be adjusted on a weekly basis, any part of a week counting as a whole week.
     
Room will be adjusted by the month, any part of a month counting as a whole month (4 weeks equal 1 month). No refunds will be made on rooms after 8 weeks (2 months).
     
No refund will be issued to students compelled to leave school for disciplinary reasons.
     
One day of summer session is computed as equal to one week of regular session. Summer school refunds are at the rate of 25 percent per day.
     
No refund will be made for private music lessons missed unless the student has made proper arrangements ahead of time.
     
Withdrawal forms must be obtained from the Office of Retention and First Year Experience and returned there when all required signatures are collected. No financial adjustments will be made if the student fails to withdraw properly and a grade of 0 will be assigned for each course not successfully completed.

NOTE: Students who receive Title IV financial assistance are subject to refund policies for their financial aid that are different from the one described above. When a student withdraws, a refund calculation which determines the amount of Title IV aid earned will be used to determine the amount of funds that must be returned to the sources. Refunds calculated are returned to sources in the following order:

1. Loan Proceeds
2. Grant Proceeds
3. Other federal, state, private, or institutional sources of aid
