Learn more about Financial Clearance.

Financial clearance is the term we use to explain the process of making financial arrangements for a semester's expenses.

It can mean different things to different students. Financial clearance can be:

• Selecting a payment plan and making a down payment.
• Having a completed financial aid package in place to cover expenses. This includes all loan requirements.
• Having any sponsor and/or conference billing information in place to cover expenses.

For all students, financial clearance looks like:

• A green check mark next to the Financial Plan box in Registration Central.
• Classes will be dropped on August 19 for those without financial clearance.
