Financial and Scholarship Announcements
*HOLD ON - As you are deciding which classes to take next semester, please take some time to take a look at your student account. Hopefully, your account is already paid in full; if not … you will likely have had a hold placed on your account. This hold means you cannot: • Register for classes • Participate in Room Selection • Receive official transcripts • Walk in the graduation ceremony (if a graduating senior) The good news: once your account is paid in full your hold will be removed and you can proceed with registration. The bad news: if you delay too long you may not get the classes or the dorm room that you want. You can view your account on your portal by clicking on “Current Statement of Account”. If you have a balance, please contact us right away to settle your account at sfs@pointloma.edu or 619-849-2538. Of course, you are always welcome to drop by our offices in Draper Hall as well.
