Summer 2023
- Please check with the Financial Aid Office to see if there are funds available for Summer Term classes. Availability varies due to enrollment and financial aid packaging.
To Meet the Deadline:
Meeting the deadline dates means all of the requested forms and paperwork have been received by the Financial Aid Office including an electronic copy of your Student Aid Report and full admission to Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College. This does not mean that you file the FAFSA by the deadline date; but, rather that you file the FAFSA so the Student Aid Report is received in the Financial Aid Office, along with all requested forms and paperwork, by or before the deadline date. Students who do not meet the priority processing deadline dates may have to pay for all expenses (tuition, fees, and books) from their own resources.
To ensure that you meet the priority processing deadline date you should file the FAFSA at least one month prior to the deadline date. No funds will be disbursed to you unless your financial aid file is complete.
Missing the above deadlines, with the exception of summer, does not prevent you from receiving financial aid; however, it may delay the receipt of the aid. Students failing to meet the above deadlines MUST be prepared to cover college expenses from their own resources or contact the Business Office to make arrangements to use the installment tuition payment plan.
Methods of Payment
Students are not considered registered for any courses until all tuition and fees are paid or other payment arrangements have been made by the fee payment deadline. Southern reserves the right to cancel all registration and withdraw students from courses due to nonpayment
Payment Options
On-Campus
- Cash
- Check or Money Order
- Credit/Debit Card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover)
Online
Through mySouthern the College accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express and Discover.
To pay online, you will need to log into your mySouthern account. You have several options to access the online payment system in mySouthern:
- Select Credit Card Payment on the Main page of mySouthern
- At the bottom of the page of each Account Summary by Term and Account Summary there is a link for Credit Card Payment
Payment Arrangements
Installment Tuition Payment Plan
- Explanation
- The Installment Tuition Payment Plan allows students to make a total of three payments on their tuition and fees. The down payment of 25 percent is due by the payment deadline date: or, after the payment date at the time of registration
- Payment Plan only offered for the Fall and Spring semesters
- After all financial aid is applied to the student’s account, at least 25 percent (25%) of the student tuition and fees must be paid by the tuition due date for the term.
- If your Financial Aid award does not fully cover your tuition and fees, you MUST sign up for the Payment Plan to cover the remaining balance
- All Students who participate in the Payment Plan, including Financial Aid recipients, MUST sign a form at the Campus Business Office
- The remaining balance, including interest, is payable in three additional payments.
- Failure to pay remaining balance by due date will prohibit a student from having this payment option in the future. Interest and/or a service fee, on the remaining balance may be charged at a rate not to exceed the legal limit.
Financial Aid
- The Financial Aid Office must complete the student award package and authorize it for disbursement before the aid can be viewed and accepted as guaranteed payment for the semester by the payment due date.
- Refer to the Financial Aid pages of the website for detailed information.
Third Party Sponsor
- If a third-party sponsor provides documentation regarding sponsoring a student, Student Accounts bills the sponsors on behalf of the student.
- Some examples of third-party sponsors are federal agencies, foreign embassies, and Vocational Rehabilitation Services. Sponsors are billed for Southern charges ONLY (such as tuition/fees, textbooks and other listed fees). Any credits or overpayment will be returned to the sponsor. Third-party billing is separate from our scholarship programs, and scholarships should be sent to the Southern Financial Aid Office.
- Student Accounts must be notified by the sponsor and/or student of the sponsorship amount and conditions. Documentation can be submitted via email to BusinessOffice@southernwv.edu , or brought to any campus Business Office. A financial guarantee/tuition authorization must be an official document on business letterhead.
- Authorizations MUST include the following information to be processed:
-
- Student name
- Student ID number
- Specific charges or dollar amount that sponsor will be paying
- What semester sponsor will be paying
- Billing address for sponsor
- Name, signature and contact information for person authorizing contract
- All documentation must be submitted before the start of the semester in question
- Once the contract is set up, invoices will be printed after the semester starts and mailed to the sponsor for payment. Please send all third-party payments to the address listed on the invoice
- Documentation must be submitted before the start of the semester. Late submission may cause the student to receive late payment fees and generate balance holds on their account. If your sponsor is only paying a portion of your charges, you will be responsible for payment of the difference by all deadlines. If payment is not received for your share of the charges by the due date, a late payment fee will be assessed. If your employer is reimbursing you after completion of your coursework, your fees cannot be deferred, and you must pay the amount due by the due date.
- NOTE: Once your contract has been set up, it will appear on your student account as a future credit (memo). This does not mean that Southern has received payment on your behalf. Payment is not guaranteed until funds are actually received by the College from your sponsor. If payment has not been received by the end of the fiscal year, your contract will be deleted and cannot be reinstated until guaranteed funds are received. Thus, students are ultimately responsible for the contracted balance if their sponsor does not pay in a timely manner. Southern reserves the right to discontinue future third-party billing for agencies that are delinquent in making payment.
Refunds
Once classes begin, there is no refund for a reduced schedule. The refund policy applies only when a student officially withdraws from all classes or Southern cancels a class.
Explanation of Refund Policy
The following schedule for calculating refunds shall be adhered to for those students who withdraw from the institution via the official withdrawal process and who are eligible to receive refunds. Students qualify for a full refund (100%) of tuition/fees, if they drop any or all of their courses prior to the start of classes for the semester/term. Once classes begin for the semester/term, there are only two ways students may qualify for a tuition/fee refund. The first is to completely withdraw from the institution for the semester/term (this means carrying zero credit hours for the semester/term). This includes any courses that have not started for the semester/term, including all non-traditional courses. The second way to qualify for a refund is if the institution cancels a course. The student will get 100% refund for any course that is canceled.
All refunds are calculated based upon the total tuition and fees owed at the beginning of the semester (less any nonrefundable fees as stated above). Refunds will be issued within 30 days of the official withdrawal date and delivered to the student’s BankMobile account. Payments made by credit card will be refunded to the original credit card within 30 days.
A refund schedule for summer sessions and nontraditional terms (terms that have a shorter duration period than the standard 16-week term) shall be determined by the College’s Business Office based upon the first day of class in the earliest term that the student is in. If the refund calculation designates a partial day, the full day will be included in the higher refund period.
Refund Schedules
| Prior to the first day of the term | 100% refund |
| During the first 10% of the term | 90% refund |
| From 11% to 25% of the term | 75% refund |

1098-T
The American Opportunity (formerly Hope) and Lifetime Learning tax credits may be available to you if you pay higher education costs. To assist you in claiming these credits, Southern will file form 1098-T with the Internal Revenue Service by January 31 each year. This information in no way represents tax advice from the college, as it is the responsibility of the taxpayer to determine eligibility for the credit. Please do not contact Southern regarding your eligibility for this credit.
Who gets a 1098-T?
You will receive a 1098-T only if you had out-of-pocket payments, whether paid by you or with a loan, for “qualified educational expenses.” IRS Publication 970 defines “qualified educational expenses” as tuition, fees, and books.
You will not receive a 1098-T on the portion of tuition paid with tax-free educational assistance. Per IRS guidelines: If you pay qualified education expenses with certain tax-free funds, you cannot claim a credit for those amounts. You must reduce the qualified education expenses by the amount of any tax-free educational assistance and refund(s) you received. A 1098-T is, therefore, not issued for the portion of tuition paid with tax-free educational assistance including:
- The tax-free part of scholarships and fellowships,
- Pell grants,
- Employer-provided educational assistance,
- Veterans’ educational assistance, and/or
- Any other nontaxable (tax-free) payments (other than gifts or inheritances) received as educational assistance
How do I get a 1098-T if I qualify to receive one?
1098-Ts are mailed to eligible students from Southern by January 31. The 1098-T reflects the previous calendar year (January through December).
Students may opt to receive their 1098-T electronically. All students will receive an email providing instructions on how to choose this option.
Is financial aid taxable?
In general, financial aid is not considered taxable income to the extent it is used toward “qualified educational expenses.” Student loans are never considered taxable income because it is borrowed money that must be repaid. Grants and scholarships may be considered taxable income to the extent they are not used for “qualified educational expenses.”
Are there education tax credits I may qualify for? How do I learn more about tax guidelines regarding education?
Students may be eligible for a number of tax credits when filing a federal tax return. We encourage you to read IRS guidelines such as IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, regarding any tax benefits for which you may qualify and to consult your tax preparer. Publication 970 may be downloaded from the IRS web site at www.irs.gov.
Need a Copy of Your 1098-T?
Students may request a copy of their 1098-T tax form by emailing Chris Gray at chris.gray@southernwv.edu.
Students should send this request from their Southern student email account. Once your request is received, your replacement 1098-T will be emailed to you.
If you no longer have access to your Southern student email, you may send an email from your personal account. This will result in your 1098-T being sent to you by USPS.
When requesting a copy, please include your full name, student ID number and the tax year needed. Students having questions concerning the amounts report may also email Chris Gray.
Note: Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College cannot offer tax advice.
