4. Financial Clearance - All Athletes Must Complete Before Arrival To Clarke

  • Financial clearance is given when bills are paid in full, loans cover tuition, loans are applied for and guaranteed, or students are signed up for a payment plan and are up to date on that plan.
  • All athletes must have their financial payment plan with Clarke University agreed upon before they can be cleared to compete for their team.
