Beginning Monday, May 19, 2025 students will need to complete the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement (SFRA) before signing up for Summer '25 & Fall '25 classes.
Students will see a SFRA hold on their account—please review and sign the form to unlock registration. You will need to complete the SFRA once a year. If you are enrolled in Peninsula College's Community Education courses or are under 18 years of age, you do not need to complete the SFRA.
- It’s quick and easy.
- It explains your financial responsibilities.
- It keeps the process smooth for everyone across WA colleges.
Please note: The SFRA is an annual process, so students must accept Summer for the 2025–2026 academic year when they register for the first time during the year.
If you have any questions, please review the FAQs below or stop by Pirate Central in the Student Services Building. We’re here to help. Get your SFRA done early and sail into next quarter with no delays!
Student Financial Responsibility Agreement (SFRA)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
At Peninsula College, we believe it's important for students to feel informed and empowered about their financial responsibilities. As part of our commitment to transparency and your success, you may be asked to review and accept the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement (SFRA) each year.
This agreement is designed to help you understand your financial responsibilities when enrolling in classes and outlines the college’s policies. We are here to support you and ensure you have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your education.
- Who needs to complete the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement?
-
Students enrolling in courses that charge tuition/fees will be required to complete the SFRA prior to their first registration for the year.
This does not apply to students currently under the age of 18. Once a student turns 18, the SFRA will be available on the account to review and agree. This will need to be agreed to before courses are started in the next Quarter after turning 18. This does not apply to students in our DOC program.
- What is the SFRA and how do I complete it?
-
The SFRA is an important agreement that outlines financial obligations and responsibilities for attendance at Peninsula College. If required, you will complete the SFRA in ctcLink by selecting “Holds.” The SFRA may also be provided to you electronically or via paper if you are registering outside of ctcLink.
- How often do I need to complete the SFRA?
-
The SFRA must be completed once per year (summer through spring), or if changes to the current agreement are mandated.
- What if I don’t accept the SFRA?
-
If your status requires completion of the SFRA, you must review and accept it annually to register for classes.
- What if someone else is responsible for paying my account (i.e. through a sponsorship or employer)?
-
Each student is responsible for their account and unpaid balances, especially if a third-party payer does not cover the full amount. It is important to be aware of this and understand the terms outlined in the SFRA.
- Why must I complete the SFRA if my tuition and applicable fees are covered by the college or outside funding sources?
-
It's important to know that if you're receiving financial aid or other funding, there may be some charges on your account that aren't covered fully. For example, your student account might include things like library book fines or lost equipment fees. In these cases, you are responsible for those extra charges. Also, if there happens to be a balance on your account due to changes in your funding situation, you will be responsible for that amount.
- What is an SFRA Hold?
-
The SFRA hold is a hold on your student account that is required to be completed before registering. It will take effect once it is completed and be active for the year, whether you enroll for the current quarter or future quarters within the year.
- After I complete the SFRA, when will the hold be lifted?
-
If you are completing the SFRA in ctcLink, the hold will be removed immediately. If you are completing an alternative form of the SFRA (electronically or via paper), the college registration office will release your hold.
- Can I look at a copy of the SFRA?
-
You will find a copy of the SFRA in ctcLink self-service Tasks menu. After signing it, you will be able to go back and review it. You can also see a copy of the SFRA here.
- If I have additional questions regarding the SFRA, who should I reach out to?
-
Please contact Pirate Central if you have any questions regarding the SFRA.
