Regarding the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement, each semester, graduate students are required to complete a “Financial Responsibility Agreement” before registering for courses. By signing the Agreement, each student is acknowledging they are fully responsible for paying their educational cost while enrolled at Messiah each semester. When registration opens each semester, there will be an FRA hold automatically applied to a student’s record. Students can easily remove their “FRA hold” themselves by signing their Financial Responsibility Agreement through Falcon Link.
