1098-T

Did you know your student may be eligible for a federal education tax credit? All students enrolled in credit courses are required by the IRS to be issued a 1098-T by January 31st each year. 

This form notifies your student and the IRS of the qualified tuition and related expenses (QTRE) they paid during the preceding tax year that may qualify you as the guardian or the student for educational tax credits. 

The Office of Student Accounting provides the 1098-T via PAWS for students who opted in to receive the form electronically. Otherwise the form is sent through U.S. mail. Click here for more detailed information.

Electronic Direct Deposit (EDD)

South strongly encourages all students to set up their Electronic Direct Deposit (EDD) account in PAWS and keep it up to date each semester. 

An EDD will allow for eligible student aid and emergency stipends/awards to be refunded directly to their bank account in a timely and secure manner. 

EDD eliminates delays due to address issues with paper checks and helps students avoid a trip to the bank! Click here for more information.
