Whether you’re a new or current student at Seattle Pacific University, you probably have questions about how to pay for your education, including

• How does my student account work?
• What are SPU’s billing and payment policies?
• How does financial aid work?
• What financial services are offered on campus?
• What are my rights and responsibilities as a financial aid recipient?
• How do I find a job?

Student Financial Services (SFS) provides The Essential Guide to Student Accounts and Financial Aid 2009–10 to answer these and other questions.

To ensure that your financial aid is processed in a timely way,

• Carefully follow the checklist.
• Refer to this website throughout the year.*
• Become acquainted with the SFS website, specifically the calendar with its important deadlines.

• Check your SPU email account regularly for updates and info from SFS.

Please let us know if your or your family's financial circumstances change at any time. Often we may be able to provide additional assistance and financing options.

If you have questions, contact us. We wish you an enriching and successful academic year.
