Financial Clearance is one of the primary responsibilities of an SSC. Ultimately, all of the financial work we do on a student's account ​should lead to clearance.

​

Remember:

Better clearance helps prevent AR balances!

​Financial Clearance

Review the Ledger to make sure all charges are posted and accurate

Review the awards to make sure all financial aid (scholarships, Title IV, etc.) have been awarded

The remaining balance is what the student will still owe

Ensure the student has paid the balance, signed up for a payment plan, or is awarded enough financial aid to cover the total amount

​The Clearance Process

Responsible Borrowing

However, we should encourage our students to only borrow what they need and graduate with as little debt as possible.​

Comes Great Responsibility

Remember, loans are a great, and often necessary, tool to enable students to invest in themselves and their futures.

​With Great Power

​Our zero-interest payment plans are a great way to make their costs more affordable!
