If you do not make a payment during your Externship, you will be pulled from your clinical site. Communication is key!

Failure to Pay Policy

The purpose of this policy is to define a student’s failure to pay all fees or charges to the student’s account and outline potential consequences for such action.

By registering for the SVSTI Surgical Technology Program, students agree to be financially responsible for their account balance and any applicable fees, including, but not limited to, tuition, textbooks, and miscellaneous charges.

Failure to comply with SVSTI's payment policies may result in further collection activity by an outside collection agency or attorney. When this action occurs, students are responsible for paying all collection expenses, which may exceed 50% of the original balance owed. Although every effort is made to contact a student prior to submitting the account to a collection agency, SVSTI reserves the right to submit a student’s account for collection at any time if the student fails to remit the personal payment portion of the account balance.

Tuition and all associated fees paid in full at enrollment for the Sterile Processing Program will receive a $250.00 Discount.
