Billing Notes:

  • Billing and Finance charges to occur on the next business day after due date.
  • For general Student Account information, visit uww.edu/adminaffairs/finance/sfs.
  • Prior to enrolling for in a term, your student account must be current and have signed the Terms and Conditions.  Students can access the agreement through WINS and click on Student Financial Account and Terms and Conditions. If you have a past due balance from a previous term, and are enrolled in a future term, you are at risk of having your classes cancelled.
  • Be sure to keep your personal profile information updated in WINS. This will ensure any mailings and the 1098-T tax form is accurate. Visit uww.edu/adminaffairs/finance/1098t-tax-info for more details on tax-related information.
  • Spring fees and due dates will not show up on your student account until the first week in January. This is to align our processes with the IRS reporting requirements.
  • 1.25% finance charge will be assessed per monthly billing cycle to charges past due that are not on the self enrolled payment plan.  This will be charged on any past due balance greater than $200.
  • 1% finance charge will be assessed per monthly billing cycle for any amounts placed on the self enrolled payment plan. 
  • Federal Title IV loans and Pell grants are prohibited from paying activation fee or finance charges.  Should you have these charges on your account and show an excess of federal aid, your refund will be delayed unless these charges are paid. Your Federal Title IV loan and Pell grant will pay tuition, room, meals, and course fees only. To authorize Student Accounts to pay non-tuition educational charges as well, go through WINS and click on ‘Financial Aid’ and click on ‘Student Permissions’, then authorize. Visit uww.edu/adminaffairs/finance/sfs#FAQ for more information on Federal Title IV aid.
  • A self enrolled Payment Plan is available to students and authorized payers.
