Payment Deadline - September 10

Registered students must make at least a $100 down payment. Financial aid may be used to meet the required $100 down payment (See Financial Aid Deadlines below). This payment or disbursement of financial aid is due by September 10 in order to avoid cancellation of registration. Students who do not make a down payment by this date will incur a $75 late payment fee (pro-rated for part-time students).

Registered students can view e-bills beginning August 1 and contact the Cashier's Office with any questions. Failure to view your e-bill will not excuse students from payment deadlines. Students unable to view e-bills should make arrangements with the Cashier's Office to determine payment amounts or sign the necessary papers.

PLEASE NOTE: A withdrawal fee of $50 will be charged to all students who withdraw, or are de-registered, after the semester begins during the 100% refund period. A drop fee of $18 will be assessed for each transaction (independent of number of credits dropped) processed after September 17.

Financial Aid Deadlines

Financial aid may be used to meet the required $100 down payment due September 10 subject to the following:

1. An award letter must be on file in the Financial Aid Office so aid can be applied before September 10.
2. New students must also file a signed terms and conditions form with the Cashiers Office on or before September 10.
3. Students whose aid does not cover at least $100 must pay the difference out-of-pocket by September 10.
4. Students meeting #1 and #2 but whose aid has not arrived on campus by September 10 will be charged late payment fees.

Direct Credit of Aid to Your Bill: Most financial aid types will be credited directly to the student's bill, including direct loans, grants, and foundation scholarships. Check the Class Schedule for more details.

Refunds: Most financial aid is applied directly to the student's account. A refund will be issued for any amount of aid that exceeds the student's charges. Financial aid and tuition refunds are disbursed via the Higher One Easy Refund Card. With the Higher One card, students elect to have their refunds (1) deposited electronically to a Higher One checking or debit account, (2) deposited electronically to a bank account of the student’s choice, or (3) receive a paper check in the mail. Students must activate the card and select their refund choice.

Through a contractual relationship with Higher One, UW-Superior offers optional bank accounts that are linked to the Higher One card. Students, faculty, and staff are not required to open an account with Higher One, and they do not need to have a Higher One account in order to use services, such as meal plans, and the library. Many financial institutions are available within the community to meet personal banking needs, and UW-Superior encourages everyone to consider all options. UW-Superior followed a competitive procurement process in selecting and contracting with Higher One and, as part of that contract, receives financial consideration that is used to pay the administrative cost of the program. Any revenue exceeding the program cost will be spent on student programs as defined by the student government.

Financial aid that cannot be applied directly to the student's account must be picked up and applied to the student's account by September 10 to avoid the $75 late payment fee. Examples of this type of financial aid include scholarship checks, SELF LOANS, and alternative loans (e.g. Wells Fargo) or BIA grants. Checks that are needed to pay fees must be picked up by September 10 to avoid late payment fee.

Fee Payment Location & Schedule

Location - Old Main, Room 208 - Cashier Windows

Late payment fee of $75.00 will be charged when the minimum down payment is made after September 10.
