How do I know if my student's tuition is paid in full?

Your student can look up their current schedule on the Student Toolbox and it will show the tuition at the bottom of the screen. Login at the Student Toolbox to access this information. It will show the outstanding balance or a zero balance if tuition is paid.

Do I have to pay tuition all at once?

Tuition must be paid in full on or before the due date. If your financial aid award is not enough to cover tuition or is not in place by the tuition date, you must still pay by the due date. The Registration Office has short-term loans available that require a $30.00 processing fee, without interest. They will loan up to 60% of the tuition and fees. Books or supplies are not covered under the short-term loan and the loan must be paid before the end of the quarter.

How do I pay for my student's education?

A job board is posted in the hallway outside the Counseling and Career Center in the Campus Center Building.

Why do I have to give my income information when my student applies for financial aid?

Congress has determined that parents are responsible for providing for their children's educational expenses until they achieve independent status. In general, to be classified as an independent student a person must fit into one of the following categories:

24 years of age
married
have own dependents
be a veteran of the military
working on a master's degree
or have extreme extenuating circumstances.

If a student cannot fit into one of these categories, then the parent is required to provide information on the FAFSA form to determine financial aid eligibility.

Are there part-time job opportunities while attending SVC?

Yes. Many of our students work on and off campus while they attend college. Our Career Center maintains a Job Posting Board outside the Counseling and Career Center in the hallway that lists local jobs in the community. They also have an Online Job Board link on Career Services webpage. In addition there are on-campus work study jobs listed on the board in the Financial Aid office.
