Does the University accept credit cards for tuition?


Do I need a credit installment agreement?
 

  • Without a credit agreement on file, the tuition and fees HAVE TO BE PAID before the first bill is printed.  If the tuition and fees are not paid in full, a $75.00 administrative services fee will be charged to your account.  Once you have signed and returned the agreement, it remains on file the duration of your academic career at UW-La Crosse provided there is not a break in attendance.  
    Click here for the on-line Installment Credit Agreement form.  Forms are also available outside the Cashiers Office.  

  • Please return the signed and completed original form to:

UW-La Crosse Cashiers Office
121 Graff Main Hall
1725 State Street
La Crosse, WI 54601

***NOTE***   

If you are under 18 years of age, be sure to also complete and return page 2 of the Credit Installment Agreement.

 

How much do I owe for tuition and fees?


What's included in the segregated fees listed on my student bill?

  • Segregated fees listed on your bill include university services, such as Textbook Rental, Student Union, athletics, organized activities, intramurals, Eagle Rec Center, transfers, Child Care Center, and Health Center services.
  • Questions related to segregated fees should be directed to your Student Senate at 608-785-8717 or e-mail studentsenate@uwlax.edu

I'm from Minnesota and I was charged non-resident fees.  Why?

  • It is the student’s responsibility to apply for the Reciprocity Agreement.  Reciprocity is not automatic.  The State of Minnesota grants reciprocity on the basis of the application provided by the student.    Students must apply online at www.mheso.state.mn.us. 
  • Those who do not apply or apply late and/or are not approved, will be required to pay non-resident rates. 

What should I do if I don't get a tuition/fee bill?


Where do I submit my payments for tuition and/or fees?

  • You may pay in the Cashier's Office, Room 121 Graff Main Hall.  Please make checks out to UW-La Crosse and be sure that the student's id number is written on the front of the check.  You may also place payments in the drop box outside of our office.   An envelope is not necessary, though the student's id number is required to be on the check.
  • If you would like to mail your payment, please send to:
            Cashier's Office
            Room 121 Graff Main Hall
            1725 State Street
            La Crosse, WI  54601
    Please include the student's id number on the check.  If you would like a receipt, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope with the payment.  The payment must be RECEIVED by the due date NOT POSTMARKED!

How do I pick up my financial aid?

  • Good News!  Most financial aid is directly applied against your charges on your student account.  Once financial aid is applied, it will appear on your tuition bill.  If you are expecting your financial aid to overpay your tuition and fees, these funds will be disbursed to you based on the preference you chose when you activated your Tower One Card:  http:www.uwlax.edu/TowerOneCard/finaid.htm

My parents have a PLUS loan.  How should we pay tuition and fees?

  • PLUS loan proceeds are sent directly to the parents.  Parents should then send a personal check to the University before the assigned due date.

If I drop credits, what do I do about financial aid?

  • Any reduction in the amount of your tuition/fees for the semester is apt to affect your financial aid package.  You should contact the Financial Aid Office  as soon as you discover that your tuition/fees will be changed.

A 3rd Party sponsor is paying my tuition.  When will I get a refund?

  • You will receive a refund for any excess tuition/fees amount on your account.  In general, the sponsor will be billed after the first two weeks of classes have ended.  The refund process will begin only after the check from your sponsor has been received in the Cashier's Office and applied to the student's account.  Refunds are disbursed to you based on the preference you chose when you activated your Tower OneCard:  http://www.uwlax.edu/TowerOneCard/
