Students may pay tuition and fees and other charges such as; housing, Child Development Research Center, library fines, parking permits or tickets, and miscellaneous charges in person at the Cashier's Office, in the drop box, by mail or online by credit card. Please note that payment by credit card can only be made online via the myWings web portal, using Discover, MasterCard or American Express. Visa cards are not accepted. We do not accept credit card payments at the Cashier's Office. There is a 1.5% convenience fee (2.3% beginning July 1, 2008) for use of credit cards for online payments.

Students can check the status of what they owe the University at any time on the myWings web portal with their student number and password. Click on the student tab & then "View and Pay Your Account." Students may also come into the Cashier's Office during regular business hours to obtain this information. Due to the Federal regulations and Privacy Act, we cannot give this information over the phone or via e-mail. We do not invoice or send statements.

Please check your account often through the myWings web portal to determine the status of your account, especially during drop/add week. From the "View and Pay Your Account" link your account will display 3 amounts; balance, financial aid pended, and an adjusted balance. If the adjusted balance amount is positive, that is the amount you need to pay by the due date to avoid a $75.00($100.00 beginning fall 2008) late charge or from being purged from classes. If your adjusted balance amount is negative, it indicates you may be eligible for a refund. When financial aid is actually disbursed and credited to your account and your obligations to the University have been paid, the remaining credit balance will be refunded to you via EFT to the bank account selected by you on the Direct Deposit Authorization Form [doc].

If you are on a wait-list for a class(es), you need to check your account on myWings daily to determine if you've been added to the class. Some students are added after the tuition deadline and are then fee liable. If you do not wish take the class, you must remove yourself from the wait list during drop/add week to avoid any fee liability for the course.

Please be aware that your financial aid may include some estimated amounts, especially Bright Futures and Academic scholarships. Therefore, you may be under or over paid after your financial aid is actually disbursed and credited to your account. Please check your adjusted balance via the myWings web portal to determine if there have been any adjustments to your financial aid. Bright Futures and Florida Prepaid are based on the number of credit hours you are enrolled and will need to be adjusted if you add or drop classes. However, they will not be adjusted immediately, so to ensure you are aware of the changes you will need to review your account frequently.

If you choose a preferred lender for your student loan, it is disbursed to the university via EFT. If you choose a non-preferred lender which sends your funds via a check, you will receive an email notification to come to the Cashier's Office to endorse your check. The University will apply your check to your account balance and issue you a refund for the difference. According to Federal Title IV policy, Financial Aid may only pay the current year fees unless we have a prior authorization on file to allow us to pay your prior year charges up to $200.00. Please complete the Financial Aid Authorization Form[doc] if you owe prior year fees you must pay and would like us to deduct those from your current financial aid.

If you are in housing, the total amount owed will be shown as due. If you pend your housing against your financial aid, we will deduct the amount due prior to disbursing any refund. Your housing may also be deferred if you have a Florida Prepaid Housing Contract. You must contact housing directly to defer payment.

Please contact the Cashier's Office if you need assistance with paying online. Refer to housing's web site http://www.unfhousing.com/ or contact them by phone at (904) 620-4663 for questions regarding housing.
