Transcripts
Upon the written request of a student, the Registrar’s Office
will issue an official transcript of credits. The first transcript
is issued without cost while a fee of $1.00 must accompany each
succeeding request for currently enrolled students or $5.00 for
former students. Students with an unpaid account or note with the
College or any other college authorized agency including local banks
will not be furnished a transcript of credit or receive a diploma
until the account or note has been paid in full.
Transcript requests along with appropriate payment may be sent
to:
Records Office
Greenville College
315 E. College Avenue
Greenville, IL 62246-0159
Or, a faxed request will be accepted with adequate credit card
information for charges.

Zero Balance Policy
The “Zero Balance Policy” requires that the balance
due on a student’s account must be paid in full prior to the
beginning of each course. Students will be billed for each course
registered and will be expected to pay their balance due in full
prior to the first class. The only exceptions are those students
whose costs are completely covered by their financial aid packages,
or those who have set up a monthly payment plan through Tuition
Management Systems (TMS). Students whose balances are delinquent
will be withdrawn from their course(s), NO EXCEPTIONS.
Due to Greenville College’s “Zero Balance Policy,”
the College will not allow any student with a delinquent account
to register for subsequent terms. Because a transcript of a student’s
record is the property of Greenville College and is not the property
of the student, the College will not release a student’s transcript
or diploma until all outstanding indebtedness is satisfied.
The College reserves the right to assign any past due accounts
to an agency for collection. In such a case, the student is responsible
for the delinquent principal and interest, 20% of Attorney’s
fees, and all other reasonable charges and costs incident to the
collection of any amount not paid when due. In case of bankruptcy
by the student, the student waives all access to transcripts and
diploma(s) until all amounts are paid to the College.
Student Accounts
Students are responsible for their entire tuition and other fees,
even if the financing is arranged through a third party (i.e., employer
assistance, external loan). Payment of tuition and fees is due at
registration (the Monday before the start of course instruction)
each term. In order to facilitate the registration process, returning
students are requested to settle their account in full no less than
thirty days prior to registration. Estimated bills will be sent
to all students approximately two months prior to registration.
Greenville College offers three payment option:
1. Cash payment at registration: Greenville College accepts cash,
checks, money orders, and all major credit cards. Please make checks
and money orders payable to Greenville College. Payments may be
made in person at the Business Office on campus (Hogue Hall) or
mailed to:
Adult and Graduate Studies Office
Greenville College
315 E. College Avenue
Greenville, IL 62246
2. Financial Aid: Student may apply for financial aid through the
Financial Aid Office. Any amount not covered by financial aid is
due at registration via cash payment.
3. Monthly Payment Plan: You may arrange a monthly payment plan
administered by the Tuition Management System (TMS). We will help
you determine your cost after financial aid. Your total cost is
then split into 11-16 equal monthly payments, beginning on the date
of the registration meeting. Monthly payments will be due on the
first of each month. The enrollment cost of this plan is $90, but
there are NO interest charges. TMS will mail you a monthly statement
in advance of each payment due date.
Student who experience difficulties with tuition payment or have
questions regarding their outstanding balances should contact Student
Accounts Office at 618-664-7016 as soon as possible.
Financial Aid
Financial assistance for the graduate student is often available
from private, non-government sources. Inquire directly through your
employer and with other organizations with which you are affiliated.
An excellent “free” database search of scholarship resources
can be addressed at www.fastweb.com.
Government assistance is available in the form of student loans.
Greenville College is a participant in the William D. Ford Federal
Direct Student Loan Program. Students may borrow either through
the Federal Direct Subsidized Loan Program (government pays interest)
or the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan Program (student pays interest).
Eligibility is determined after completion of the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Graduate students may borrow to meet full program expenses less
scholarship assistance received for the program. Federal Direct
Loans may be consolidated with other student loans in repayment.
Variable terms for repayment are available to meet your financing
needs. Contact the Financial Aid Office at 618-664-7109 with questions
of any of these programs.
Some LAMP students may also be eligible for financial aid from
the John Wesley Seminary Foundation. The John Wesley Seminary Foundation
is a legally incorporated institution sponsored by the Free Methodist
Church of North America. The foundation is the medium through which
the church expresses interest and support for its ministers. This
interest takes the form of guidance, prayer support, and financial
aid toward tuition expense. Any student who is a conference ministerial
candidate of an annual conference in the Free Methodist Church who
has declared his/her purpose to minister in the Free Methodist Church
on a full-time basis, and who is admitted or in the process of admission
for graduate study at selected institutions, including Greenville
College, is eligible. To receive an application and information
packet, contact the Office of Adult and Gradate Studies, or submit
a request to:
Director, John Wesley Seminary Foundation

Services for Students with Disabilities
Greenville College is committed to providing the best college education
possible. The Academic Enrichment Center (AEC) strives to provide
strong academic support services for all students who require specialized
accommodations. This includes students with physical and learning
disabilities. The AEC makes accommodations based on the student’s
individual needs to the best of the colleges’ resources. The
AEC will work in partnership with the student to further his or
her educational goal. This includes all students in the undergraduate
and graduate programs.
The AEC can provide the following accommodations for students with
special needs:
- Extended time for tests
- Readers for tests
- Note takers
- Advocacy
- Assist the student in obtaining books on tape
- Tutoring
- Some assisted technology devices for the visually impaired
A student who requires these accommodations needs to have official
documentation on file with the Academic Enrichment Center. This
documentation may be a letter from a physician or professional on
letterhead, a report from the student’s last psychological
evaluation from high school, a high school IEP, or other sources.
A list of accommodations that the student has used in the past would
be helpful in planning for the student’s educational needs.
