  • Can I wire the funds directly into the university's bank account?

    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. 

    For further instruction regarding wiring funds for tuition and housing payments, please contact the Treasury Department:

  • My check was returned by my bank. What is the university's policy on returned checks?

    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 pursuant to Florida Statute 832.07 (1).. In addition if the returned check or e-check was payment for tuition, there will be an additional $100 late payment fee assessed if restitution is not made by the payment deadline. 

    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 for the next year to the University must be made with  money order a cashier's check, or online with a credit card;  the office does not accept cash payments. Students will be notified via e-mail if there is a dishonored check.  Please contact us at (904) 620-2422 regarding issues related to returned checks.

Late Payment Fee/Drop for Non-Payment

A student becomes liable for his or her tuition upon registration. Tuition payments must be received in the Student Financial Services Office by the published payment deadline to be considered on time. Postmarks are not considered. Tuition payments received after the published deadlines are late and the account may be assessed a $100 late payment fee and/or run the risk of being administratively dropped for non-payment. Check payments returned unpaid by the bank after the payment deadline will be assessed the $100 late payment fee.

Financial Holds

Students at the University of North Florida are expected to take responsibility for being aware of the payment deadlines and debt owed at all times. This information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week online. Students that owe money to the University of North Florida will have a hold placed on their account. This hold will prevent the student from routine administrative functions such as registering for classes and receiving grades, transcripts or diploma. The hold will not be removed until all debts are paid in full. Students should allow a minimum of two business days for holds to be released. Holds are not released immediately upon payment; it is an overnight process. Other offices also place holds on accounts. The myWings web portal will identify the office and phone number to call for holds placed on your account.

Collections

Payment for tuition is due by the published deadline. Students whose account is not paid in full after 90 days may have their account sent to a collection agency, with additional collection fees up to 33 1/3 percent added to the account. If the account is sent to a collection agency, the student will be required to pay the balance in full with the collection agency. Please note that payments made to the agency in one month will be sent to the University the following month. All litigation of disputes of these charges will be conducted in Duval County, Florida.
