REGISTRATION AND ENROLLMENT DEPOSITS

A $100.00 deposit is required for undergraduate students prior to registration for Fall or Spring terms. Refer to the Deposit Policy.

TUITION AND ACADEMIC FEES

Current Fee Schedules

Differential Tuition Information

Segregated Fees Information

Tuition and fees are due by the10th day of the term to avoid all finance charges. A 1% finance charge will be assessed every 30 days on unpaid balances including anticipated aid that has not been credited to your account. You will not be able to register for the next term until all fees are paid in full and a minimum $100 registration down payment for the next term is posted to your account.

Tuition and fee amounts are posted to your eSIS account approximately two weeks prior to the first day of the term. A billing statement will be sent to the billing address that you designated in eSIS. Adding or dropping classes may impact the amount due, check your eSIS account for any changes prior to payment. The " Balance for All Accounts " (excluding deposits for future terms) on the Summary for all Terms page is the amount currently due.

The University offers a partial payment plan which provides for two installment payments after the initial due date. Refer to the Partial Payment Plan for more information. Graduate Students: Payment for the semester is due in full by the first due date of the semester.  The partial payment plan is not available to Graduate Students.  Contact Accounts Receivable at 715-425-3200 if your account will not be paid in full by the first due date.

A FINANCE CHARGE , assessed at an annual percentage rate of 12%, calculated on the unpaid balance will be added to each bill. The unpaid balance is computed by taking the previous balance and subtracting payments and credits received. To avoid all finance charges, the account must be paid in full by the 10th day of the term including anticipated aid amounts that have not been credited to your account. Students on the partial payment plan will be billed for the full amount of the outstanding bill each month. The student may pay the remaining balance or more than the 50% minimum required payment to avoid or reduce future finance charges.

A monthly billing statement showing the previous balance and subsequent activity will be sent to your billing or email address every 30 days. You can verify and/or change your address using eSIS. Students not making their own payments must forward bills to their parents or payment sources. It is the students' responsibility to furnish the University with current addresses. Non-receipt of monthly statements does not excuse non-payment by the due dates.

Internet payments using electronic check (ACH) are accepted for free. Log on to eSIS to access online payments

Payments can also be made at the Cashier's Office, 217 North Hall, or mailed to:

Cashier's Office, 217 North Hall
University of Wisconsin - River Falls
410 South 3rd Street
River Falls , WI 54022-5001

To obtain a receipt when paying by mail, please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your payment. Students needing a receipt or statement of account after the term has closed will be charged $5.00 per term requested. Statements of account by term are available in eSIS by selecting Account Detail for the term desired within the Account Summary option.

Fees not paid within 60 days of the initial due date are delinquent and will be billed and assessed finance charges each succeeding month until paid in full. Failure to make payments as agreed to will result in a denial of installment credit for future terms.

The University may disclose defaulted installment payments along with other relevant information to collection agencies and/or credit bureaus. The debtor will be responsible to pay for all attorney's fees and collection costs associated with the collection of any amount not paid when due.

The student's social security number may be used for identification purposes for any and all necessary and usual billing and collection efforts including disclosure to:

  • Federal, state, or local agencies.
  • Private parties such as relatives, present and former employers, and business and personal associates.
  • Guarantee agencies.
  • Educational and financial institutions.
  • Credit bureaus, collection agencies, and agency contractors.

Social security numbers are used in order to verify identity, determine program eligibility and benefits, permit servicing or collecting of the debt, enforce the conditions or terms of the debt, counsel in repayment efforts, investigate possible fraud, and to verify compliance with any relevant program regulation, and/or locate the student in the event the debt becomes delinquent.

IN CASE OF ERRORS OR INQUIRIES ABOUT YOUR BILL

Send your inquiry in writing on a seperate sheet within 60 days after the bill was mailed to you. Your written inquiry must include:
1. Your name and I.D number
2. A description of the error and why (to the extent you can explain) you believe it is an error: and
3. The dollar amount of the suspected error.
You remain obligated to pay the parts of your bill not in dispute, but you do not have to pay any amount in dispute during the time the University is resolving the dispute. During that same time, the University may not take any action to collect disputed amounts or report disputed amount as delinquent.

This is a summary of your rights, under the Federal Fair Credit Billing Act.

Inquiries regarding this account should be submitted to the below address by separate correspondence.

OTHER CHARGES

A late registration fee of $25 will be assessed to students who do not initially register prior to the first day of class.

A $20 handling charge will be assessed for checks returned by banks for insufficient funds and for "stop payment" checks.

Refer to the Special Course Fee schedule on this website for information on course fees.

Administrative withdrawal fees of $50 the first week or $100 the second week will be charged for withdrawing during the first two weeks of 12 week or longer courses.

ENROLLMENT AT MORE THAN ONE UW SCHOOL

Students enrolled at more than one UW System institution during the same term may request reimbursement when fees are paid in excess of the full time rate.

WITHDRAWALS

UWRF does NOT cancel courses for non-payment or non-attendance. Refer to the Registrar's website http://www.uwrf.edu/registrar/2withdraw.htm for more information on how to withdraw.

If a student withdraws after the refund period ends, fees must be paid in full. Refer to the Refunds section of this website for more information on potential refunds or balance due if you should withdraw.

Verify that your account balance in eSIS is zero after you withdraw. Contact Accounts Receivable at (715)425-3145 if you have questions regarding your balance.

RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS FOR WITHDRAWING STUDENTS

The federal "Return of Title IV Funds" formula dictates the amount of Federal Title IV aid that must be returned to the federal government by the school and the student. The federal formula is applicable to any student receiving a PELL Grant, SEOG Grant, TIP Grant, Federal Stafford Loan, Plus Loan and any other federal aid other then Federal Work Study if that student withdraws on or before the 60% point in time in the semester.

If you received Title IV (federal financial assistance) and you are withdrawing before 60% of the term is completed, it may create a balance due on your academic fee account even though it was previously paid in full. The percentage of Title IV aid to be returned is equal to the number of calendar days remaining in the semester divided by the total days in the semester. Scheduled breaks of more than four consecutive days are excluded from total days. Contact the Accounts Receivable Office if you have questions regarding your balance.
