Fall 2009 - Spring 2010 Tuition Costs

Summer 2010 Tuition Costs

Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD)
▪ A $100 Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD) must be paid before you can register.  It may be paid by cash or check at the Business Office.  It may also be paid online after June 1 (for Fall term) and November 1 (for Spring term). 
▪ It is applied to tuition, and is refundable only until the following dates if you withdraw from UWMC:
     Fall term:  June 30
     Spring term:  November 30

What is the special significance of the Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD)?
 When you pay the ATD and register for classes, you are making a commitment to attend and to pay tuition.  You will owe full tuition and fees unless you officially withdraw from all your classes by contacting the Student Services Office. 

By the 8th day of each term, students must do one of the following:
1.  Pay tuition in full,
2.  Pay in part according to the terms of the Partial Payment Plan, or
3.  If financial aid has been offered but not received, and if option 1 or 2 cannot be exercised, obtain a written deferment. (Students who have applied for financial aid but haven't received an offer must use option 1 or 2.  This will not affect financial aid eligibility).

Tuition Payment
▪ The balance of Fall term tuition must be paid by Tuesday, September 15; of Spring term, by Thursday, February 4.
▪ Payment reminders will be sent to student email accounts. Paper invoices may not be mailed.

Fee Schedule Notes (subject to change):
When you pay your Advance Tuition Deposit and register for classes, you are financially committed to UWMC.
1) You are also considered financially committed if you enrolled in the partial payment plan, received a written deferment to pay tuition at a later date, or established a third party payment relationship.
2) If you want to withdraw from all your classes, you must officially withdraw by contacting Student Services or you will owe
full tuition and fees. You will not be automatically withdrawn for not paying your tuition.
3) A $100 late payment fee will be assessed if you do not pay tuition in full by the 10th class day of the semester, unless you have enrolled in the partial payment plan, received a written deferment to pay at a later date, or established a third party payment relationship.
4) The amount of a refund of tuition, or portion due, is determined by the date classes are dropped, not the date of last class attended. The refund or amount due and any other assessments are determined by the refund schedule.
5) Classes that run less than the full semester are subject to a modified refund schedule. The same percentages for refunds and withdrawals without payment apply to full-time and part-time students.

Financial Aid & Scholarships
 ▪ These checks are disbursed in the Business Office as part of the tuition payment process.  Most financial aid is electronically credited to the students' accounts, with residual amounts mailed to the student.
▪ Students who have applied late for financial aid and who have received an offer but not the check/credit, may request a tuition payment deferment if otherwise unable to pay from personal funds.  Deferments must be requested in person.

If a student who has received financial aid withdraws from school, some repayment of aid may be required.

Installment Payments
Students registered for three or more credits may pay tuition in installments by enrolling in a partial payment plan. A minimum $200 downpayment is required, with the balance to be paid in two equal installments in the fifth and eighth weeks of the semester. A $25 enrollment fee is added to the account.

The Credit Agreement is a personal loan arrangement between the student and UW-Marathon. The promissory agreement is a legal, binding contract that allows the student to extend payment of tuition with the promise to pay the tuition during the specified time period during the semester. If a student is not 18 years or older, a parent or legal guardian must co-sign the document. If a student is 18 years or older, the student must sign the contract; the parent may not sign for the student.

The agreement will be effective for continuing academic semesters without the need to sign a new contract as long as the student enrolls at any UW Colleges campus and pays the required down payment.

The first payment of tuition is due by the 10th day of the semester.

Steps:
1. Print the Credit Agreement found at www.uwc.edu/financial-aid/tuition/credit/.
2. Complete the agreement (review all 4 pages); duplicate a copy for yourself.
3. Turn in the completed agreement and the credit agreement down payment of $200 at the Business Office
    on or before the close of business on the 10th day of classes for that term.
4. The payment amount can be found on your PRISM account.
    The second and third payments must include 50% of tuition due and 50% of the enrollment fee.
5. Go to your PRISM account >Finances> other financials>charges due> the due dates and amounts due are stated.
6. All deadline dates are firm; there are no ”grace periods”.
    Payments may be made earlier than the due date, but there is a financial penalty for any payments made after the due date.

Additional notes:
▪ If you adjust your credit load, the total owed will be adjusted. Check your account balance on PRISM.
▪ Always check your account on PRISM prior to paying your tuition and pay on time.
▪ A delinquent payment fee of $25.00 for missing the first or second installment will be added to your account,
    and is due with the delinquent payment.
▪ On the second installment, interest at 1.25% per month will be added in addition to the $25.00 charge if the payment is late.
▪ The installment payments may be paid on the web, by mail, or at the Business Office.
