An announcement from Student Financial Services
QUARTERLY PAYMENT PLAN

In an effort to provide students and their families with additional payment options, Student Financial Services (SFS) is pleased to offer a three-month Quarterly Payment Plan. The Seattle Pacific University three-month Quarterly Payment Plan will divide the quarter costs over three payments instead of one. There is a formal application and non-refundable $30 application fee. However, you will not receive late fees nor have a financial hold placed on your account.

If you choose to enroll in the plan you will be able to:

  • Have a formal payment arrangement for your owing balance.
  • Have SFS calculate your owing balance for you.
  • Pay your quarter's owing balance in three payments.
  • Receive monthly statements to inform you of your payment plan obligation.
  • Utilize Online Payment Services.
  • Click here (PDF) to download more details and application materials.

Second Cohorts, New Faculty for Residency Certification
There are two important events happening in the graduate parts of the Residency Certification program. First of all, we have opened second cohorts for both the Master of Arts in Teaching Program (MAT) and the Alternative Routes to Certification Program (ARC). Second, we have hired two new faculty members. Scott Beers is a professor of reading who will be joining the Residency Certification faculty teaching in both the undergraduate and graduate parts of the program. Richard (Dick) Scheuerman will be joining the Residency Certification faculty in the MAT program. He will be working to revise the MAT, adding an elementary endorsement strand.
