Billing Information

UMW emails semester eBills during the first two weeks of July for the Fall semester and during the month of November for the Spring semester. Freshman and Transfer students will not receive an eBill until they register for Fall courses. Payment due dates are listed on the eBill. After the initial semester eBills, the billing cycle continues periodically throughout the semester for anyone with a balance. Please note that students expecting prepaid education funds, third party payments, student loans or are on a payment plan will continue to receive an eBill until all funds are received. It is the students responsibility to make sure the expected funds are enough to cover the balance due.

All eBills are sent via email to students' UMW email accounts. Students have the option to add Authorized Payers to their Student Account through EaglePAY. Each Authorized Payer will receive the billing email notification at the same time the student does. Authorized Payers will have their own user ID and password to access student bills. To add an Authorized Payer login to the EagleLink portal, click on the 'Accounts and Financial Aid' tab, click on EaglePAY under My Accounts, then click on Authorized Payer.

Payment for non-degree registration is due upon registering.

Late Fee

Failure to meet payment deadlines will result in a 10% late penalty (up to $250) and possible dismissal from the University. Checks returned for insufficient funds or due to a stop payment will be considered as nonpayment and therefore subject to the late fee. Additionally, a $45.00 service fee will be charged for all returned checks.

Returned Checks

A $50.00 service fee will be charged for all returned checks. For your convenience if your check is dishonored or returned for any reason, we will electonically debit your account for the amount of the check plus the $50.00 service fee.

Withdrawal Information

Contact the Registrar's Office immediately if you are not planning to attend the Fall 2009 semester. The telephone number is (540) 654-1063. Failure to meet published withdrawal deadlines may result in a financial penalty. Additionally, failure to pay tuition and mandatory fees does not constitute a cancellation of the student's schedule or a withdrawal from the University.

Important Note: Students cancelling all of their classes for the semester are withdrawing from the University and MUST contact the Office of the Registrar. Students are not able to withdraw from the University on the Banner system.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT

Payment of all University education expenses is the responsibility of the student. If a student fails to pay an amount owed, state law allows the University to assess an administrative fee and late payment penalty. Further, all past-due accounts will be submitted to a private collection agency or the Attorney General’s Office for collection as well as credit bureau reporting. The University will recover all collection fees and attorney’s fees from delinquent debtors.

REFUNDS FOR CREDIT BALANCES

Refunds for credit balances on students' accounts are issued to the student. Students have the option to enroll in direct deposit, or receive paper checks. When school is in session during the Fall and Spring semesters all check refunds are sent to students' campus mailbox. If the student does not have a campus mailbox the check refund will be mailed to the home address. Students may check Banner for their campus mailbox number and combination. Refunds issued during the summer semesters are mailed to home addresses.

Students can receive refunds directly into their bank accounts to avoid the additional delay in mailing a check. To do so please follow the instructions below:
