Tuition and Fee Payment for Financial Aid Recipients
Students receiving written confirmation of financial aid eligibility sufficient to cover the cost of tuition and fees may contact the Financial Aid and Student Employment Office to apply for a tuition payment extension.
Examples of acceptable confirmation are:
- Student Aid Report (SAR) received by the student, listing SWIC as a school of choice.
