PAYMENT OPTIONS
 
  Payments must be made in U.S. dollars. We accept checks or Visa or MasterCard. For your own protection, please do not send cash through the mail.
 
  Material fees should be paid to the instructor, unless otherwise noted. Any material not provided by the instructor will be available to purchase in the SPU Bookstore or other sources. Choose one of the following payment options:  
 
  1. Pay in full at the time of registration. For students mailing in their registration, payment may be made in the form of check or Visa or MasterCard (expiration date and cardholder signature required). Fax-in registrations must also include credit card number, expiration date and cardholder signature. For students registering in person, payment must be made in Student Academic Services and accompanied with the completed registration form.
  2. Purchase order payment. If your registration will be paid by a purchase order, you can register by
    1. submitting your registration form to the agency who will be paying the purchase order. That agency will submit all registrations with their purchase order to Seattle Pacific University; or,
    2. mailing in your registration with the purchase order number and district or agency name and organization address clearly indicated in the purchase order section of the registration form. The purchase order must list students' names and social security numbers and must be submitted by the first day of class. If a purchase order is not submitted, students will begin receiving monthly statements including late fees.
 
  Please note that a student must choose one of these options, but should check with the agency submitting the purchase order to determine which option to use.  
   
  WITHDRAWAL AND REFUND POLICIES  
  An official withdrawal form or letter must be received by Student Academic Services (SAS) in order to officially withdraw from class(es). The date this form is received in SAS determines the amount of refund, if any, that the student will receive (refer to the Refund Schedule section). See the index on pages 53-59 for the appropriate refund policy for each individual class. If a student does not provide proper written notification to SAS, financial obligations will remain binding, regardless of whether classes were attended or whether any contracted services were utilized, and a final grade will be posted to the student's transcript.
