Enrollment Services and Information 27 of the fee.) If a student has an outstanding balance after their financial aid or scholarships have been applied, the student is responsible to pay this amount by the payment deadline to avoid the late payment fee and interest charges. The late payment fee and interest are nonrefundable and will not be waived. If a student changes his/her schedule by adding classes, the student has until Friday at 4:00 p.m. of that week to pay the balance or the late payment fee will be assessed to the student account. Students should check their account balance each time a change is made to his/her schedule to determine the new balance due. Interest Assessment Interest will begin the fourth week of the semester. The annual rate is 12%. A student will not be assessed interest as long as the student is in a Monthly Payment Plan that covers all tuition and fees and current on all payments. Interest on unpaid balances will be assessed in addition to the late payment fee. Monthly Payment Plan Option The Monthly Payment Plan is a program intended to help students who are not able to pay their account in full by the tuition and fee deadline. Instead of one large payment, tuition and fees are broken down into equal monthly payments. Enrollment in a plan is available at the time of registration prior to beginning of each semester. See weber.edu/bursar for details about monthly payment plans. Personal Checks or eChecks Personal checks or eChecks returned by a financial institution for any reason are subject to a service charge and may result in the withholding of student records and/or dropping of courses. Delinquent Accounts—Collection Fees Students with unpaid tuition and fees, room and board, parking fines, or other fees due to the University will have a hold placed on their records until such obligations are paid in full. The hold will prevent the student from registering for future semesters, viewing transcripts or grades, delay graduation, and limit use of the Wildcard and certain student services. Unpaid accounts will be processed by University collections. A collection fee often percent of the outstanding balance will be assessed to the student. Interest and monthly collection fees will also be assessed on any unpaid balance. In the event additional collection efforts become necessary, WSU may refer a past due account to an outside collection agency. All delinquent accounts are subject to collection fees, interest, plus all court costs and reasonable attorney fees. The collection agency and/or WSU will report delinquent accounts to a credit reporting agency. Third Party/Sponsored Payments Students are responsible for ensuring that appropriate documentation for third party/sponsored payments is submitted to the main cashier's office prior to the start of classes each semester. Students must comply with the terms of the agreement and verify that all tuition and fees changes are paid by the sponsor agreement. It is the student's responsibility to verify that any course or tuition and fee changes will be paid by the sponsor and that these changes are reported to the accounts receivable office for proper processing. If the sponsor does not provide funding by the end of the semester, the student will be responsible for payment of tuition and fees. The account will be considered delinquent if unpaid at the end of the semester. (See Delinquent Accounts above.) Contact 801-626-6263 for information on how to submit vouchers or contracts. Administrative Withdrawals The University reserves the right to administratively withdraw a student from a current semester if a student has an unpaid tuition and fee balance from a prior semester or if the student provides a dishonored check or other payment to pay for tuition and fees. The prior semester courses will not be dropped or withdrawn. Financial Petitions Tuition and fee assessment is based on the registration date of the course and date of withdrawal from the course. The withdrawal dates are published on the Academic Calendar each semester. If, due to extenuating or for other acceptable circumstances, the student must drop a course after the published deadline, the student must complete the "Exception to University Policy—Tuition and Fee Assessment Petition" weber.edu/bursar/Petition.html and submit supporting documentation. Tuition andfees are assessed according to approved tuition and fee tables. The assessment is based on the number of registered credit hours or liable hoursfor each student. For example, if the student signs up for 12 credit hours, he or she is liable for paying for 12 hours according to the tuition andfee table. Deadlines for Filing Petition The deadline for filing a petition is the last day of the semester of enrollment. The burden of proof rests with the student to submit documentation of circumstances that prevented the student from adhering to the University policies and procedures.
