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 semester. Students who have registered for classes will receive a billing statement prior to the beginning of the semester and will be expected to pay their balance due in full by the due date given. 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 who fail to pay their account prior to the beginning of the semester will NOT will allowed to enroll as a student at Greenville College until their account is paid in full or they have set up a payment plan with TMS.

Withdrawal & Refund Policy

Students withdrawing from Greenville College prior to 60% of semester completion, will have charges and eligible financial aid pro-rated, effective the official date of withdrawal from the College. Students who withdraw beyond 60% of semester completion are responsible for full charges for the semester. Refunds of financial/cash paid will be issued to the qualifying student/parent within 30 days of the date of withdrawal. Prompt payment of any remaining charges is expected.
