MasterCard, Discover and American Express will be accepted online through WINGS EXPRESS; however a 2.75% convenience fee will be added to the amount due. E-Check/ACH Debit will remain a free payment option. If you wish to mail in your payment, please include your University ID (UID) in the memo portion of the check along with a printed copy of your billing statement. Checks and money orders should be mailed to: WSU Office of the Bursar, 3640 Colonel Glenn Highway, Dayton, OH 45435-0001. You must allow sufficient lead time for your mailed payment to reach us on or before the fee payment due date.

If your fees are being paid by an agency or if you have been awarded financial aid, be sure to inform the Bursar so that your registration will not be canceled. At the same time, include payment for any fees not covered by the award. If you have any questions regarding financial aid, or if you are receiving financial aid and need to change your registration, contact the Office of Financial Aid at (937) 775-5721.

Students who withdraw during the 70% refund period, from September 15 through September 23, must pay 30% for the credit hours dropped within the billable credit hour range, regardless of how much they actually paid at the time of withdrawal. The billable credit hour range is the hours from 1-12 and plust 18 hours. No refunds will be granted after September 19. All refunds will be determined according to the date of official withdrawl.

Official University Refund Policy

One hundred percent refund of instructional fees is made for official withdrawals and drops* made before the term begins and through the seventh day of the quarter. For official withdrawals or drops occurring from the eighth through the sixteenth calendar day of the quarter, students must pay for 30% of the credit hours dropped within the billable credit hour range. The billable credit hour range is 1-12 hours and credit hours over 18. For withdrawals after the sixteenth calendar day, no refund will be given. Summer term refunds and flexible scheduled class refunds are prorated. All refunds will be determined as of the date of official withdrawal. An exception to this policy will be granted for reservists and active duty military personnel who are deployed for the purpose of military action.

Students who have experienced extraordinary extenuating circumstances during a term and who officially drop or withdraw after the refund period may submit a petition for a partial refund which, if approved, will be prorated according to the date of official withdrawal.* Nonattendance of classes or failure to pay for classes does not constitute official withdrawal. Refunds will not be granted for a course after one of the following grades has been assigned: A, B, C, D, F, X, I, U, P, S, M or N. Refund petitions must be received no later than July 15, following the end of an academic year.

Refund petition forms are available in the Registrar's Office. The deadline for submitting a refund petition and supporting documentation to the Registrar's Office is July 15, following the end of an academic year. A decision will be made and the outcome will be mailed to the student within approximately 10 working days.

*The University defines official withdrawals or drops as those processed by one of the following methods:

• Online using the WINGS Express link via WINGS
• In person at the Office of the Registrar, located at E244 Student Union or at the Student Services Office in Dwyer Hall at the Lake Campus.

It is the student's responsibility to make sure the drop/withdrawal was completed correctly at the time of the request. This may be done by checking the adjusted schedule on WINGS EXPRESS after completing a transaction. Students who withdraw or drop a class at the Registrar's Office will receive a printed copy of the adjusted schedule after the transaction has been completed.

Students who withdraw after the University's official refund period will not receive full (100%) refunds by petitioning. Refunds resulting from an approved refund petition will be based on the date of official withdrawal and prorated according to the following schedule:

Federal Refund Policy for Students Receiving Financial Aid

Federal student aid (Title IV) recipients who officially withdraw from all of their classes prior to completing more than 60% of the quarter are subject to the Federal Return of Title IV Funds calculation. This calculation establishes the amount of aid the student has earned and the amount of aid that WSU is required to return to the federal student aid programs. A return of federal aid often results in the student owing money to WSU. This calculation is also required to be performed for those federal student aid recipients who unofficially withdraw from all their classes.  Additional information regarding the federal refund policy is available online at www.wright.edu/finaid.

All or a portion of any balance owed to WSU as result of the Return of Title IV Funds calculation may be paid from a refund of institutional charges. Appeal procedures regarding charges and refunds of instructional fees and late registration fees are available at the Office of the Registrar, E244 Student Union. For appeal procedures for a refund/cancellation of on-campus housing charges/contracts, students should contact the Office of Residence Services, (937) 775-4172.
