The SFRA is an important agreement that outlines financial obligations and responsibilities for attendance at BTC. You will complete the SFRA in ctcLink by selecting “Holds.” You can find information about completing your SFRA in ctcLink's Reference Center.
Students who are unable to complete the SFRA in ctcLink may request a paper version by emailing registration@btc.edu
Most students enrolling in courses that charge tuition/fees will be required to complete the SFRA prior to their first registration for the year. BTC’s academic year starts in Summer Quarter.
Some students – including those who are younger than 18 years old and those students taking continuing and community education courses – may be exempt from completing the form while they are in that status.
The SFRA must be completed once per year (summer through spring), or if changes to the current agreement are mandated.
If your status requires completion of the SFRA, you must review and accept it annually to register for classes.
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.
It's important to understand 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.
The SFRA hold will take effect the first time you register during the year (starting summer quarter through the following spring). Completion of the SFRA will lift the hold and will allow you to register for that quarter and future quarters during that year.
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), BTC’s Enrollment Services office will release your hold. BTC encourages all students to complete the SFRA in ctcLink if possible.
You will find a copy of the SFRA in the ctcLink self-service Tasks menu. After signing it, you will be able to go back and review it.
