Southern Methodist College desires that the opportunity of a Christian education be given to worthy, ambitious young men and women. By keeping expenses at a minimum, the College provides an educational opportunity for many students who otherwise may not be financially able to attend college. The testimony of Southern Methodist College depends upon the power and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and on all those who are committed to the College, both financially and spiritually.
Students will not be allowed to begin the next semester or to receive a transcript, until accounts are satisfied with the business office. Nor will students with unpaid accounts be allowed to receive a degree or a certificate.
