Billing information

Billing Statements and Payment Due Dates

Payments are due on or before the first day of class. If your course registration occurs after the first night of class, please contact us immediately to pay before the second class meeting. Financial aid arrangements must be finalized by the first day of the semester; otherwise you are responsible for tuition in full. Full payment of tuition and fees is required before the start of a session for non-traditional students. Once your financial aid has been disbursed, and your account reflects a credit balance, a refund check will be mailed to the address on your account. Credit card payments can be made by calling the Business Office at (262) 243-2609 or 1-800-243-7899. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.

Responsibilities

If your student loans or other outside scholarships have not been certified and received prior to the start of the semester, you must make alternate payment arrangements and may also incur late fees. Provisionally enrolled students are not eligible for financial aid and must make payment arrangements prior to the start of their first course.
