Tuition and Fees - Fall 2007
Payment Methods

Failure to receive an invoice does not negate your responsibility to pay by the due date. View PAWS to determine the correct amount due and the due date. You may immediately pay on PAWS with webCheck or credit card.

For your convenience, you may pay your tuition and fees using several methods: web, mail, depository, and in person.  Please read our policy on returned check payments.  Third Party Agreements, Fee Remissions, and Financial Aid payments are also explained.


Web Payments

Web payments are made via a password protected student PAWS account. webCheck payments are quick, easy, and there is no additional fee applied to your payment for this service. Should you pay with credit card; a 2.5% convenience fee will be added to your payment and charged to your credit card. MasterCard and American Express are the only credit cards accepted.

To make a web payment, access PAWS. Navigate to the following menu options: Main Menu>Self Service>Campus Finances> Select webCheck or credit card.


Mail Payments

Make checks payable to the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Include the student ID# in the memo area of your check.

Please follow these guidelines:

  • 1 check and 1 payment coupon in an envelope mailed to the address on the coupon (PO Box 3067).

Check payments are receipted same or next day. All payments received in the depository are processed prior to cancellation of registration. Your canceled check is your receipt.

Cashier's Office (in person) Payments

Office Hours

The following payment methods are accepted in the Cashier's Office: cash, checks, debit.

Cash in U.S. currency and coin. Retain your receipt as proof of payment.

Checks in U.S. dollars. This includes bank drafts, cashiers, travelers, personal, and business checks. No third party checks will be accepted.

 

Debit/ATM Card will be scanned and you must enter your PIN as your electronic signature.

 

Returned check payments - a $20.00 returned check fee is assessed when a check is not paid by the bank on which it is drawn for reasons such as non-sufficient funds, refer to maker, missing signature accounts closed etc.  A hold is placed on the student's PAWS account to prevent future enrollment, release of transcripts or diplomas and refunds until the returned check is replaced. The replacement payment for a returned check should be in the form of a cashiers check, money order, debit or credit card, or cash - not a personal check.  If payment is not replaced within 15 days, the account will be sent to the Accounts Receivable Collector.  If the debt is left unpaid, or after two occurrences in a one year period, the account will be referred to the Accounts Receivable Collector.  This may result in further collection efforts and additional costs such as referral to an outside collection agency, University Police and legal proceedings.


3rd Party Billing Agreement

If some or all of your tuition and fees is being paid by a qualified 3rd Party, the authorization guaranteeing payment of a specified amount of your tuition and fees must be received in the Accounts Receivable Office by August 24, 2007 to prevent cancellation of registration. It is the student�s responsibility to assure that they have paid at least $200.00 and all past due tuition and fees by the due date or have a qualifying payment for exemption from cancellation of registration. For additional information on 3rd Party Agreements, email or call 414-229-4914. Select the prompt for billing, then 3rd Party.

Mail 3rd Party Payment Authorizations to:

UW Milwaukee
Accounts Receivable Office
PO Box 413
Milwaukee WI 53201-0413

Fax authorizations to 414-906-8481

Having a 3rd Party Authorization on file does not remove your responsibility to assure that all tuition and fees are paid. Should your 3rd Party not send a timely payment, the debt will return to your student account and you will be responsible for any late payment and finance charges.


Financial Aid

Having a financial aid award package visible on PAWS does not remove your responsibility to assure that the funds are paid to your student account by the Fall 2007 distribution date.

You must follow all financial aid instructions on the Financial Aid website, your award package, e-mails sent to your PantherMail account and your PAWS To-Do-List


Fee Remission

View PAWS to verify that your remission has waived the appropriate tuition and fees. Some remissions are dependant on a minimum credit requirement before the waiver will pay to a student�s account. If your waiver has not processed, first verify your credit load and add classes, if necessary. Second, if your credit load is correct for your remission type, contact the department that granted you the fee remission.

Students that have graduate appointments must be at the proper credit limit for the remission to waive tuition and fees. If a graduate appointment is waiting for status change or approval for reduced credit load, the remission will not process and a minimum payment or other qualifying payment for exemption of cancellation of registration is required.


Payroll Deduction Authorization

Payroll Deduction is a contractual benefit available to graduate appointments and is limited to Teaching, Project and Research Assistants, Fellows, and Chancellor Scholarship Award recipients in Fall and Spring only. A Graduate Assistant and Fellowship Certification and Payroll Deduction Authorization card must be submitted to the Accounts Receivable Office no later than 4:30 PM, Friday, the first week of school. Cards are available in the appointing department or the Cashier or Accounts Receivable Office, Mitchell Hall, Room 285. Payroll Deduction in excess of $200.00 may be used as a qualifying payment for exemption of cancellation of registration only if the card is received and processed by the tuition due date, August 24, 2007.

For additional information regarding this contractual benefit, visit Graduate Department Publications
