FAQs

What payment options are there?

Traditional- There are two payment options available. Your overall balance may be paid in full by 4pm on the first payment date of the semester or you can apply for the Deferred Payment Program. Eligible students with an application on file may divide their overall balance into three payments with the Deferred Payment fee* added to their first payment. This first third plus the Deferred Payment fee must be received by 4pm on the first payment date of the semester for you to be officially enrolled. The Deferred Payment fee is a one-time per semester non-refundable fee. Please see the Deferred Payment Due Dates.

SPS- There are two payment options available if enrolled in at least 9 units. Your overall balance may be paid in full by 4pm on your registration night or you can request the Deferred Payment Program. Eligible students with a signed Deferred Payment Program contract on file may divide their overall balance into three payments with the Deferred Payment fee* added to their first payment. This first third plus the Deferred Payment fee must be received by 4pm on your registration night in order for you to receive materials/books and/or attend class.

What happens if I don’t pay?

Traditional- If you have pre-registered and the first payment date of the semester passes without a payment being made, you will be dropped from your classes. If you still plan to attend, you will need to pay a late registration fee and re-register after all of the new students for that semester have registered. The University extends the Deferred Payment Program as a form of credit for your benefit. If you start on the Deferred Payment Program and the second and/or third payment is received after 4pm on the due date, a late payment fee will be added. Your account is then subject to formal collections and it is possible you will be administratively withdrawn from your classes. You will also be ineligible to participate in the Deferred Payment Program for future terms.

SPS- You cannot receive materials/books and/or attend class unless payment is made. If you do not pay or pick up your materials on your scheduled registration night, a late registration fee may be added to your account. The University extends the Deferred Payment Program as a form of credit for your benefit. If you start on the Deferred Payment Program and the second, third and/or fourth payment is received after 4pm on the due date, a late payment fee will be added. Your account is then subject to formal collections and it is possible you will be administratively withdrawn from your classes. You will also be ineligible to participate in the Deferred Payment Program for future terms.

Fee and fine balances are due within 30 days of the charge going on your account. Failure to pay within this time frame can result in late fees, collections and future term’s classes being dropped.

What is a book voucher?

A book voucher is written for a traditional student who has financial aid that exceeds their charges and thus has a credit balance on their account. It must be written by the Student Accounts Officer or Controller. This voucher is good only up to the amount written and must be used in the WJU Bookstore.

How do I get my refund check?

A student refund is generated when a student’s financial aid exceeds their charges. Student refund checks are processed once the funds come into the school. Traditional student refund checks will be placed in their student mailbox on campus. Please check your student mailboxes on a regular basis. SPS student refund checks will be mailed to the address we have on file. Please make sure we have a correct current address on file.

Why would an account be sent to collections?

A student is notified by mail when their account is past due. Failure to contact the University to take care of this balance results in the account being subject to formal collections. A collections fee is added to the account before it is sent. Once sent, payment in full is necessary to stop the collections process.
