  that must be notarized by a notary public.
• It is a one-time ONLY initiative.
• Good at any Tennessee Community College.
• The student must have an OLD debt of over $200.00 to qualify.
• The student must NOT have attended school within 2 consecutive terms.
• The student will NOT be able to receive a transcript, certificate or diploma until the
unpaid balance is paid in full.
• While the debt is active, the student must carry a minimum of 6 credit hours.
• The student must attend school during Spring and Fall terms (Summer is not required).
• The student must make monthly arranged payments - any day of the month after the promissory note is signed.
• A copy of the student state-issued identification (ID) is required.
• All completed paperwork including arrangement for monthly payments must be completed before ANY Cashier's Office hold can be removed and replaced with a Promise to Pay (XO) hold.

Due to COVID-19, ALL promissory note are emailed (including instructions) to the student to be completed. Once completed, the promissory note is to be mailed back to the Macon Campus.

Due to COVID-19, all requests for PTP's must be emailed to Coordinator Mary Reynolds (financialaid@southwest.tn.edu) and include the casher’s email (bursar@southwest.tn.edu) as well.
