Financial Obligations
Tuition
All tuition fees and other University charges must be paid before
students are permitted to register for classes (see tuition and fees
chart on separate insert); however, students waiting for the delivery of
their student loans may provisionally register for classes, in accordance
with the provisional registration policies and procedures outlined
in the SGU Student Manual. Responsibility for payment of tuition
and all other University charges is solely that of the student. Billing
is posted to the Student Self Service Account. Notification that bills
are available for viewing is sent via email to students’ University
email accounts approximately one month prior to the due date. In
the event students do not have fees posted to their account, it is their
responsibility to contact the Office of Student Finances to request
proper billing.
Housing
University policy requires that entering medical, veterinary medical,
and graduate students live in campus residence halls for their first
term; students entering into the premedical, preveterinary medical,
and undergraduate programs must live in the campus residence
halls for their first year and will be billed accordingly. Students will
be assigned housing and roommates in order of their acceptance. If
students have a specific roommate request, it should be indicated
to the housing coordinator. After this initial period on campus,
upperclassmen who did not initially contract for their second term will
be accommodated on campus according to availability by a lottery
system and will be billed accordingly (see housing rates on separate
insert). There are many houses, apartments, and efficiency units close
to campus. All matriculated students on the Grenada campus are
strongly advised to live in University recommended housing either on
or off campus, at the discretion of the University. There are currently
no housing accommodations available on campus for students with
children or pets. Students residing off campus are responsible for
their own housing expenses. The University reserves the right to
require students to live on campus. During clinical terms, students are
responsible for their own room and board; although, the University
and affiliated hospitals may provide some assistance.
