You may wire funds directly to the University's bank account for the amount due on your student account.

As a security measure and in keeping with recommended banking practices, the University of North Florida is unable to accept wire transfer payments in excess of the balance due on an account. Overpayments received via wire transfer will be wired back to the originating account (sender). Where the intent is to provide a student with funds for personal expenses, those should be wired directly to the student's local bank account. 

The amount wired should not exceed the balance due to the University on a student’s account. Wires sent must be on a per semester basis, as we are not able to hold these funds for longer than one term. This balance includes tuition and fees, room and board, and health insurance. Amounts for personal expenses should be wired directly to the student’s local bank account. 

 Funds in excess of the outstanding balance will be returned to the sender.  

 On the wire description please include: 

• Student’s name, 
• Student’s ID number (N#),  
• Semester 
• Description: “tuition payment,” “balance on account,” “Fall Housing,” “Spring ELP”, etc. 

 If this information is not included the monies will be returned to the sender.  Without this information it is difficult to determine the correct student to credit.     

A returned check charge is assessed against a student's account that has a check or e-check returned unpaid by the bank to The University of North Florida for any reason (insufficient funds, closed account, stop payment, bank account coding error, etc.). A fee based on the amount of the check will be assessed to the student's account. In addition if the returned check or e-check was payment for tuition, there will be an additional $100 late payment fee assessed.  PLEASE NOTE:  Students will not be dropped from classes.

According to the State Attorney's Office, it is against the law for any person to knowingly write a check if there are not sufficient funds on deposit with which to pay the check. Intent to defraud is presumed when any check is dishonored due to a closed account. When a check is dishonored due to the lack of funds in the account, the writer of the check must pay the holder the amount of the check, in addition to required service charges. Restitution in full must be received within seven days after receiving written notice from the holder, or else intent to defraud will be presumed. This includes electronic checks as well.

All future payments to the University must be made with cash, money order, a cashier's check, or online with a credit card. Students will be notified via e-mail if there is a dishonored check. If payment is not made within fifteen days of the letter, the account will be referred to the State Attorney's Office or a collection agency for collection.
