For financial aid, you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. Be sure to include Erskine (code: 003432) and complete the application prior to June 30 to be considered for South Carolina state financial aid (for S.C. students).

You can check your financial aid awards under “My Financial Aid” in your student portal.

• Loans must be repaid according to the terms and conditions of each loan.
• Grants are funds that do not need to be repaid and are typically awarded based on need.
• Scholarships are awards that do not need to be repaid and are typically awarded based on a student’s accomplishments or talents.

If you have an estimated Palmetto Fellows, LIFE or HOPE Scholarship award, your award will not be final until your final, official high school transcript is received by Erskine’s Admissions team (admissions@erskine.edu). Additionally, you may need to complete a Master Promissory Note and/or entrance counseling for a Direct Loan. The S.C. Residency Form and S.C. State Affidavit Form are required for South Carolina aid.

If you recently submitted required documentation and/or registered for classes, your aid still needs to be processed.

Refunds are available after Erskine receives all federal, state, local, and private funds; this may vary from student to student. The business office will contact you through your Erskine email when your refund is available to pick up.

In order to help expedite the refund process, we need you to fill out the Microsoft form here.

Your refund date will be dependent on when Erskine receives all funds from your loans, scholarships, and grants. Once your check has been processed, someone from the business office will reach out to you via your Erskine email to let you know.

You can view your bill in your Student Portal. On the left-hand column, select “View Active Statement.” To pay, select “Pay Active Statement.”

Transact charges a monthly penalty on late payments. Any account balance not paid by the due date will be subject to a $17 late fee. If you miss multiple payments, you may be subject to removal from the payment plan and the remaining balance will be due in full.

Your bill must be paid in full, or you must be in a payment plan before move-in each semester. Balances not paid by the due date are considered past due. Any student account with a past due balance will be placed on hold until the balance is paid. A business hold will prevent students from registering for classes or receiving a diploma.

It is the responsibility of the students to monitor their accounts throughout the semester. Student account balances change due to modifications in schedule or financial aid; these changes may result in additional tuition charges, fees, and/or overload charges. Other departments, such as Residence Life, may also post fees and fines to students’ accounts. Balances not paid in full or in a payment plan by the first day of classes will be eligible for a hold. Any student account with a past due balance will be placed on hold until the balance is paid. A business hold will prevent students from registering for classes or receiving a diploma.

You must officially declare your major in the Registrar’s Office. There is a form called the “Declaration of Major Form” that must be filled out.

No, the Registrar only makes schedules for incoming students’ first semesters. After that, students will work with their faculty advisors to make future schedules.

You will register for classes in your Student Portal.

In your Student Portal, select “My Grades” on the left-hand side. Then, select “Mid-Term Grades” or “Final Grades” from the drop-down menu. On the right-hand side of the page, you’ll see two names under “Faculty Advisor”: your Navigator and your faculty advisor. Your faculty advisor will help you plan your courses, while your Navigator is able to help with general questions about registering, financial aid, and student billing.

Most of your freshman year will be primarily CORE classes, so it is recommended that students choose their majors by the end of freshman year. This should provide students with enough time to meet their graduation requirements within four years. Your faculty advisor can help you plan your course of study.
