Academic Year 2007-2008 Spring Semester- Payment Information & Deadlines

Electronic Billing

The University of Wisconsin-Superior does not mail billing statements to students.

Billing statements are only available online via the E-HIVE. To access your billing statement you must know your E-HIVE login & password. Students who don't know their E-HIVE login and password or who are having difficulty accessing the E-HIVE should contact the Computing & Media Services help desk at (715) 394-8300 or (800) 806-2890 (toll free) or e-mail the help desk at: helpdesk@uwsuper.edu

Failure to access bills online will not excuse any payment due dates or late payment fees.

To access your e-bill simply log into the E-HIVE at http://www.uwsuper.edu/ & follow these steps:

• Locate the "view bill" link under the Finances heading
• Choose the appropriate semester (Spring 2008)
• View or print your electronic billing statement

Payment Deadline - January 28

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 January 28 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 February 4.

Financial Aid Deadlines

Financial aid may be used to meet the required $100 down payment due January 28 subject to the following:

1. An award letter must be on file in the Financial Aid Office so aid can be applied before January 28.
2. New students must also file a signed terms and conditions form with the Cashiers Office on or before January 28.
3. Students whose aid does not cover at least $100 must pay the difference out-of-pocket by January 28.
4. Students meeting #1 and #2 but whose aid has not arrived on campus by January 28 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.

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 will be 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 checking 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 January 28 to avoid the $75 late payment fee. Examples of this type of financial aid include scholarship checks, SELF LOANS, alternative loans (e.g. Wells Fargo) or BIA grants. Checks that are needed to pay fees must be picked up by January 28 to avoid late payment fees.
