Student Accounts
Student Financial Services, a division of Administrative Affairs, is made up of three components to serve the needs of our students. The Student Accounts office provides accurate and timely billing and account services such as monthly account billing, support for past due accounts, third party invoicing assistance, semester payment plans, assistance with the Master Promissory Note (MPN) completion and exit interview processes involved with obtaining federal financial aid. Student Financial Services corresponds electronically with student account holders using their University email address.
UW-Whitewater students are responsible for:
- Payment of all tuition, fees, and other associated costs assessed as a result of registration and/or services as they appear on the student account.
- Reading all University communications, taking action when needed, and sharing these email communications with individuals who may be assisting with education expenses.
- Monitoring their WINS student account regularly.
- Understanding the University’s payment and billing policies.
- Being aware of course add/drop dates, refund deadlines, associated fees, and billing due dates for each term enrolled.
- Ensuring payments are made in a timely manner, regardless if payment is from financial aid, scholarships, or a 529 education plan fund.
UW-Whitewater undergraduate students are required to pay a one-time enrollment deposit. This deposit remains on the student account during enrollment at the university. The deposit will roll forward to the next term as a deposit for that term, and is refundable when the student leaves UW Whitewater. Enrollment deposits should be paid at the time of your registration to attend a Warhawks SOAR session. Questions regarding the Enrollment deposit can be directed to Student Accounts at sfs@uww.edu.
Enrollment Deposit Refund
At separation from the University, the student may be entitled to a refund of the enrollment deposit. The deposit must be requested, and the student must have paid all obligations owed to the university. If the deposit is requested, but the student has a balance on his/her account, the refund will be applied to the balance. To request a refund of the deposit, fill out the Enrollment Deposit Refund Request Form online. The request will not start to be processed until approximately 10 weeks after the end of the term to allow for any remaining charges to be processed. The refund will be sent via direct deposit to the bank account in the Nelnet system, or paper check will be mailed to the address on file with the University. The student has one year (12 months after the final day of classes) to request and qualify for the refund. Unclaimed enrollment deposits are deposited into a UW-Whitewater scholarship fund. Questions regarding the Enrollment Deposit refund can be directed to Student Accounts at sfs@uww.edu.
It is a federal requirement for all students who have borrowed through the Federal Loan Program to complete an exit interview when they graduate, withdraw, drop below 1/2 time status of attendance or change programs. Exit interviews provide a complete explanation of repayment, deferment and cancellation privileges, and answer specific questions about your loan
Exit Counseling:
A 1.25% per month finance charge will be assessed per monthly biling cycle to charges past due that are not on the self enrolled payment plan. This finance charge will be assessed until the student account is paid current.
A 1% finance charge will be assessed per monthly billing cycle for any amounts placed on the self enrolled payment plan.
Financial Aid payments
Students receiving financial aid are subject to the same payment deadlines as other students. Do not assume your financial aid will be available to pay your university bill on time. Most aid is processed in time, but if you have not submitted your information timely, have not met all qualifications for aid, had to provide more information for verification, or have not accepted or completed follow up tasks required for the aid, your aid may be delayed. You will need to check your WINS account to confirm that aid has processed by the payment due date. Finance charges will still apply to accounts with delayed aid.
Scholarships
Scholarships take up to 10 days to process through the system. These checks should be submitted at least 10 days prior to the payment deadline.
Payments by non-US government third parties
These payments are not credited to your student account until the 3rd party has made the payment to the University. If you have received a letter or payment authorization document from the 3rd party for the University to bill them on your behalf, this must be presented to the Student Accounts Office at least two weeks prior to the start of classes for the applicable term, along with an authorization to release information. Any delay in submitting this document will delay the University's courtesy billing to the 3rd party, and will most likely delay a payment by the 3rd party on your account. Failure of the 3rd party to make a payment toward the student's account will need to be followed up on by the student, as the University takes no responsibility for obtaining this payment. Any changes to the student's class schedule or fees will need to be communicated by the student to the 3rd party.
Finance Charges
A finance charge will be added to any past due balance. This finance charge will be assessed each billing period until the student account is current.

THIRD PARTY PAYMENTS:
Agencies or organizations requiring course completion or proof of grades BEFORE they authorize payment are considered tuition reimbursement programs. These programs do NOT qualify for the third-party
billing process. Students participating in tuition reimbursement programs are responsible to make their own payment arrangements, according to the college's tuition payment policy, and seek reimbursement directly from their sponsoring agency or organization.
When a student's tuition, fees, and/or bookstore purchases are billed directly to an outside agency or organization (not a family member or not owned by you or a family member), the process is termed “third-party billing”. The college agrees to bill the agency or organization directly on behalf of the student. This is considered a service to the student and the college must receive written authorization from the sponsoring agency or organization at least two weeks prior to the start of the term, before the third-party billing can be processed. It is the student's responsibility to ensure the Third Party Authorization Form is received by the Student Account Collector Office.
Note: A third-party authorization form needs to be on file before we will invoice
THIRD PARTY PROCEDURES:
We can bill any company for tuition and fees. However, we must have a voucher or purchase order stating the specific courses to be paid for, upon receipt of invoice. The information required by the Authorization for
Payment should include:
Student name
Student ID number
Agency name and billing address (On Company Letterhead)
Name and phone number of contact person
Term covered by the authorization to pay
Course Name and Number (example: ENG 121)
Dollar amount or percentage of college costs covered
Types of charges to be covered (Tuition, Fees)
NOTE: We will need a new voucher/purchase order each semester to ensure current status.
AUTHORIZATIONS FOR PAYMENT:
Your authorization for payment can be mailed, emailed, or delivered to the Third-Party Coordinator at:
BY MAIL:
UW Whitewater
Student Account Collector
PO Box 88
Whitewater, WI 53190
E-MAIL: sfscollect@uww.edu
PAYMENT TO:
UW Whitewater
Cashiers Office
PO Box 88
Whitewater, WI 53190
The purchase order or voucher must be submitted to Student Accounts at least two weeks prior to the start of the term. However, the student must be prepared to pay their bill or any finance charges/payment plan
fees in the event the third party does not pay by the term due date. Ultimately, the student is responsible for the bill and may be asked to pay the bill and get a reimbursement from the third party.
IF FOR SOME REASON, THE THIRD PARTY IS UNWILLING TO PAY THE CHARGES INCURRED, THOSE CHARGES BECOME THE OBLIGATION OF THE STUDENT. WE DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS FOR INVOICES.
What if I receive Federal Title IV Financial Aid (loans and/or grants), what can I expect it to pay?
The Department of Education has implemented federal regulations that authorizes UW-Whitewater to administer Title IV financial aid funds. Title IV funds are financial aid you receive in your financial aid package from UW-Whitewater and include:
Federal Pell Grant
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
Federal Perkins Loan
Federal Education Loan Program
Stafford Loan Program - Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Parent PLUS Loan
Federal Work Study Program
Federal regulations stipulate that Title IV financial aid funds cannot be applied to your student account until ten (10) days prior to the first day of classes. Federal regulations further require that the University apply your Title IV financial aid funds to "allowable charges", which are tuition, mandatory segregated fees, course fees, and housing and meal charges contracted with the University. UW-Whitewater allows many departments to assess charges to your student account in order to consolidate billing. Some of these "non-allowable charges" might include parking permits, bookstore charges, health center services, graduation fees, library fines, activation fees, finance charges and other miscellaneous charges. The charges will be your responsibility to pay by the due date on your billing statement, as they would also not be charges eligible for any payment plan. If left unpaid, it could delay any excess aid that may be ready to refund to you. If left unpaid after the due date, it could lead to a past due balance, an assessment of additional finance charges and it would put you at risk of having your classes cancelled for non-payment.
Federal regulations require that the University apply your Title IV financial aid funds to "allowable charges', which are tuition, mandatory segregated fees, course fees, and university housing and meal charges, unless authorized to cover other changes. Authorizing financial aid to pay other charges will expedite the settlement of your student account. Authorization must be received prior to the disbursement of your aid or the Title IV financial aid funds will not pay other charges on your account. Once the authorization is signed, it will continue to be valid for future years unless rescinded.
To authorize payment of other charges, click on "Student Financial Account" tile, click on "Student Permissions" tile, click on "TITLEIV_MS", and follow the screens from there. You will get a confirmation you can print out if needed, and your aid should automatically pay charges upon disbursement.
Please note: pay plan activation fees and finance charges cannot be covered by Title IV funds, so students will need to cover these, if applicable, with other funds. If non-federal aid is present on the student's account, it can be used to cover these charges.
Title IV authorizations previously given need to be manually reversed. The form to do this is located at: http://www.uww.edu/adminaffairs/finance/cashiers-office/forms#StudentAccountForms. Once you have completed and signed the form, please deliver to Hyer Hall, Room 110, Student Accounts window, send via email as a .pdf to sfs@uww.edu, or mail to UW-Whitewater, Student Accounts, P.O. Box 88, Whitewater, WI 53190.
Please be aware, you will then be responsible to pay any charges on your student account that are not covered by aid by the applicable due date.
Per federal regulations, the University is required to apply any Title IV financial aid funds to "allowable charges', which are tuition, mandatory segregated fees, course fees, and university housing and meal charges, for the academic year for which the aid is awarded. If there is any excess aid after these charges are paid, a small amount is eligible to be applied to a prior aid year balance.
If your past due balance is in a term in a prior aid year, such as the prior Summer term, up to $200 of excess aid can be used to pay allowable charges in the prior aid year. If the unpaid charge is tuition or tuition-related fees, your refund will be delayed as we apply $200 to the prior year.
If the prior balance is not allowable charges, but you have already authorized the university to pay other student account charges for the current term, the authorization allows the university to use up to $200 of excess aid to pay a balance in a prior aid year term.
If you haven't yet signed the authorization to pay other charges on your student account, click on "TITLEIV_MS" and follow the screens from there. You will get a confirmation you can print out if needed. Student Accounts will receive your authorization and move $200 from your excess aid to pay toward your prior year balance prior to releasing any remaining refund due you. However, pay plan activation fees and finance charges cannot be covered by Title IV aid.
The Department of Education has implemented federal regulations that authorizes UW-Whitewater to administer Title IV financial aid funds. Title IV funds are financial aid you may receive in your financial aid package from UW-Whitewater and include:
Federal Pell Grant
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
Federal Perkins Loan
Federal Education Loan Program
Stafford Loan Program-Subsidized and Unsubsidized
Parent PLUS Loan
Federal Work Study Program
Federal regulations require that the University apply your Title IV financial aid funds to "allowable charges", which are tuition, mandatory segregated fees, course fees, and housing and meal charges contracted with the University. Federal Title IV regulations prohibit the use of federal aid to cover administrative charges, such as activation fees from the payment plan, or finance charges.
These charges are your responsibility to pay them by the due date on your billing statement.
NOTICE: Veterans who intend to have the government help with tuition and fees should first see the Veteran Services Coordinator.
Students who have received a voucher or authorization to have tuition and fees billed to a government agency should submit this and any other required documents to Student Accounts Hyer Hall Room 104 or email to sfs@uww.edu . All documents must be turned in 10 days before the start of the term for which it applies.
A credit will be placed on the student account once the invoice has been sent to the government agency. The student should be prepared to pay the remaining balance by the due date indicated on the bill.
If a refund is due, it will be paid to the student. Any overpayments that are owed to the government should be paid by the student to the agency as soon as possible.
All tuition and related fees are due by the first due date of a term, no matter when you registered. If the student or authorized payer self enrolled in the payment plan, all charges will be placed on a payment plan. A 1% monthly finance charge will be assessed and a MON hold (Balance over $200.00) will be applied. This fee will be assessed each billing period until the student's account is current.
If a student or authorized payer did not self enroll in the payment plan, a 1.25% finance charge will be applied and a MON hold (Balance over $200.00) will be applied. This fee will be assessed each billing period until the student's account is current.
If you have a past due balance over $500 when the payment plan is completed for the term, you will be prohibited from registering until the past due amount is paid in full or covered by financial aid. This can mean you miss out on your priority registration slot, and perhaps even miss out getting into a course you need. Past due balances are sent to a collection agency, so students should contact Student Accounts at sfs@uww.edu as soon as possible to talk about alternatives before this happens.
Your classes are at risk of cancellation if:
You have no credit with the University. This can happen if your classes have been previously cancelled, if you have frequent invalid check transactions or if your debt has been certified to an outside collection agency, such as SDC. One notice for payment is sent to you prior to cancellation.
You have a past due balance for a prior term. If you haven't paid the necessary amount to get rid of your past due balance, you have not received financial aid to cover it, or you have not contacted Student Accounts about your intention to pay off the balance in an agreed upon manner, your classes are at risk for cancellation.
Once classes are cancelled, you will receive a no-credit (NCR) hold on your account. The no-credit (NCR) hold means you no longer have credit with the University. As such, you will not be eligible for the payment plan in the Fall or Spring terms. In addition, you will be required to pay the cost of tuition and fee for classes you want to take in advance of being able to register.
You can have an invalid check transaction occur for a few reasons:
Written check was filled out incorrectly - on wrong bank account, invalid signature, dollar amount and written amounts don't match, post-dated check
Written check or electronic check may be invalid because there's not enough funds in the account to cover the transaction (insufficient funds or account closed)
Information for an electronic check may have been filled out incorrectly in TouchNet
For an invalid check transaction, according to WI Stat. 943.24, a student can be fined and required to appear in court for issuing a worthless check (including online transactions). The University will assess a $20 service charge to your student account for any payment returned as unpaid. This is in addition to the charge your bank may assess. Your account will also be returned to the same status as it was before the payment was received, so interest and/ or administrative fees may be charged. In addition, your classes may be at risk of cancellation if the invalid check paid off a balance in order for you to register.
If we receive notice of frequent invalid check activity from your bank, the University may invoke our "cash only" policy. This means you would no longer have access to the TouchNet site for online payments, and you would be required to pay with cash, certified bank check, or money order.
Additionally, frequent invalid transactions will result in a no-credit (NCR) hold on your account. The no-credit (NCR) hold means you no longer have credit with the University. As such, you will not be eligible for the payment plan in the Fall or Spring terms. In addition, you will be required to pay the cost of tuition and fee for classes you want to take in advance of being able to register.
A 1.25% per month finance charge will be assessed per monthly biling cycle to charges past due that are not on the self enrolled payment plan. This finance charge will be assessed until the student account is paid current.
A 1% finance charge will be assessed per monthly billing cycle for any amounts placed on the self enrolled payment plan.
