Unless a student is enrolled in a Pomeroy Payment Plan, all student balances are expected to be paid in full prior to the start of the term.
Pomeroy Payment Plan
SMWC offers an optional payment plan that allows students to spread payments of anticipated tuition, fees, housing, and food expenses for up to 6 installments for each semester (fall & spring).
Installment payments are due by the 15th of every month. A late fee will be added 5 days after the due date. All charges must be paid in full by the end of the semester. Students are responsible for all charges assessed to their account.

Financial Aid Adjustments (Title IV aid)
If a student withdraws, fails or does not attend all scheduled courses, the college is obligated under federal regulations to recalculate the amount of financial aid the student has earned, based on the percentage of time completed in the term. The college tuition refund policy does not mirror the federal guidelines. As a result, the student may owe a balance due to the College.
