Clearance From Nevis

Students completing the Basic Science semesters or concluding studies for any reason are required to complete a “Financial Clearance Letter” from the university administration office. Clearance signatures are required from the student’s landlord, major utility company, and local telephone company where the student may have acquired debts. This is done to ensure that no student leaves Nevis with financial debts. Transcripts may be withheld for students who do not pay expenses incurred while on Nevis.
