Account Payments

  • What happens if my bank returns my fee payment check/e-check?
    When a check or e-check for payment of fees is returned to the Office of the Bursar, you will receive a notice advising you of this fact. There is a $25.00 service charge for each returned paper or electronic check.

    Payment of a returned check or e-check and service charge may be paid in person by cash, money order, or certified check, bank debit card, or online using WINGS Express via WINGS with e-check, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. Postdated checks are not acceptable and will be returned. All accounts that are referred to collections are subject to reasonable collection costs, including attorney fees and other charges, necessary for collection of any amount not paid when due.

  • Who should I notify if my fees are being paid by an outside Agency or Third Party Sponsor?
    If your fees are being paid by an agency or third party sponsor, please communicate this information to the Office of the Bursar by submitting your billing authorization form prior to your fee payment deadline.

    Students may submit agency/third party authorization forms through the 70% refund period of the following term however; your fees must be paid from other resources by the fee payment deadline.

  • Who should be notified if a student plans to receive a scholarship from another organization?
    Students receiving scholarships from external organizations (such as the Rotary Club) and those applying for an alternative loan should communicate this information to the Office of Financial Aid at least 60 days prior to the start of the quarter.

    Please contact the Office of Financial Aid, by phone at (937) 775-5721 or e-mail to financialaid@wright.edu, should you have any questions regarding your financial aid status or if you are receiving financial aid and need to change your registration.

  • What if I am receiving Financial Aid?
    Students receiving financial aid are still eligible for the student installment payment plan. The total amount of financial aid that has been approved by the Office of Financial Aid is deducted before the amount of your payment is determined. The first installment cannot be paid by your financial aid.

    If the amount of quarterly financial aid exceeds the amount which is owed on your account, a refund will be mailed or electronically deposited as outlined on the financial aid award letter. For more information about financial aid, please visit the Financial Aid Web site.

  • What if I drop a class or withdraw from school?
    If you drop or withdraw during the 100 percent or 70 percent refund periods, you may receive a refund. Students who drop or withdraw during the 70 percent refund period are responsible for 30 percent of the original amount due. The amount refunded will vary according to the original amount due. Refunds are based on the amount billed regardless of the methods chosen to pay the fees. If you withdraw after the 70 percent refund period ends, you must still make the second and third installments. Since no refund is due, your outstanding balance must be paid.

    If you receive federal financial aid, including loans, contact the Office of Financial Aid before you withdraw from classes. The Federal Refund Policy affects students receiving federal financial aid and withdrawing from classes. Withdrawal most likely will result in a balance being owed to Wright State University.

  • What if I miss a payment or make a late payment?
    It is your responsibility to know when payments are due and to pay them on time. Electronic bills for the second and third installments are provided as a courtesy notice only and payments must still be received by the Office of the Bursar by the due dates even though an electronic bill may not have been received.

    If your second or third payment is not received by its due date, you will be assessed a $50 late fee for each payment. A HOLD will be placed on your account which will prevent adding or dropping classes and your ability to receive an official university transcript. (Your registration will not be cancelled nor will any classes be dropped.) If your check is returned from the bank, a $25 returned check fee will be assessed in addition to the $50 late fee. Late fees and penalties must be paid first before any payments will be applied to the outstanding balance.

  • What happens if I default on my payments?
    The balance due on your student account will become payable at once and will prevent you from further participation in the plan. An administrative HOLD will remain on your account and the university may withhold all further services. Should you register in a subsequent quarter, you may be Administratively Withdrawn and any refund due to you will be applied to the outstanding balance of this plan. Delinquent balances will be reported to the credit bureau(s) and if you fail to repay the plan as agreed, legal action could be taken against you. In addition, you may be assessed and required to pay any costs incurred in the collection process of this plan including, but not limited to, late charges, collections, and litigation costs.
