Payment  Options    Tuition  Payment  Plan    Allows an installment payment plan based on clock hours rather than lump sum payment(s) at the time of enrollment. A down payment of 25% of tuition cost. Payment(s) may be made with credit card, check, money order, or cash (in-person only). Make your check or money order payable to: Southcoast Welding & Manufacturing. Credit  Card  Payments  The Finance & Accounting Department accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover for tuition payments. NOTICE: FOR THOSE PAYING ACCOUNT BY CREDIT CARD Students that choose to pay their account with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) instead of cash, check or money order will incur a 4.5% convenience fee for use of the service. A convenience fee covers charges assessed by credit card companies for providing the service. Third  Party  Billing    Third-Party Billing is a method of billing in which an entity, (company, corporation, or other government agency) has established special billing arrangements to cover tuition and mandatory fees for students that it sponsors. This entity receives and makes payments against special bills mailed directly to a third-party office, and does not remit payment directly to a student's institution-generated bill. The sponsor must submit a Letter of Authorization to the Finance & Accounting Department. The letter from the sponsor should include: 1) Student's name 2) Student's ID number (555-last four

of SSN) 3) Semester or duration of program

4) Charges for which the student is responsible

5) Address to send the bill 6) Contact person's name and telephone

number Refunds  Students who officially withdraw from the Institute or reduce the number of clock hours for which they are registered may be entitled to an adjustment of charges or a refund of amounts paid. Any refund or adjustment will be based on the official drop/withdrawal date. Refunds are mailed to the student's permanent address usually within four weeks of the date of notification. Tuition refunds are made according to this schedule during all semester terms: Official Drop Date C redit Adjustment (24) Hours prior to class time 100% (20) Clock Hours 75% (40) Clock Hours 50% (60) Clock Hours 25% More than (60) Clock Hours 0% Withdrawals must be made through the F inance & A ccounting Department.

Returning and/or former students will receive the same information and will use the ID card and number originally issued. Replacement cards are available in the Admissions Office for a $5 fee.  Prerequisite  Testing  If you wish to bypass our introductory courses to enter advanced training you must pass practical welding and written prerequisite tests. See individual course descriptions for tests required and cost for complete prerequisite testing for that course. Prerequisite testing is scheduled during the week prior to your starting date. Contact the Admissions Office for a schedule of prerequisite tests. All prerequisite testing must be completed prior to your start date. Any student failing a course is not allowed to do prerequisite testing in lieu of retaking the course. Any former student returning for additional training after an absence of more than one year may be required to take prerequisite testing to determine skill level. SCW Institute does not give credit for previous courses completed at other institutions. Only one attempt to pass any prerequisite test will be allowed. The  student must  have  successfully  completed  course  certification  or  demonstrated  skill-­level  prior   to  class  enrollment. Prerequisite  Testing:  $250.00.
