Payment of Fees/Promise to Pay
I understand that when I register for any class at Wright State University or receive any service from Wright State University, I accept full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees and other associated costs assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services. I further understand and agree that my registration and acceptance of these terms constitutes a promissory note agreement (i.e., a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(8)) in which Wright State University is providing me educational services, deferring some or all of my payment obligation for those services, and I promise to pay for all assessed tuition, fees and other associated costs by the published or assigned due date.)
I understand and agree that if I drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which I register, I will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition and fees in accordance with the published tuition refund policy. I have read the terms and conditions of the published tuition refund schedule and understand those terms are incorporated herein by reference. I further understand that my failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of my financial responsibility as described above.
Registration Cancellation Policy
Current Term
As a registered student of Wright State University, I understand if I carry an unpaid student account balance for a current term, I may be blocked from registering for a future term and my registration may be canceled. If my current term balance is not paid in its entirety by the due date my enrollment for the current term may be administratively canceled. I understand that I must have a plan to pay my term balance if I choose to attempt re-enrollment in my previously-enrolled classes or enroll in other open classes using either on-line or in-person registration. Registration into classes following administrative cancellation is solely my responsibility
I acknowledge and understand that my attempt to re-register into the classes for which I was previously enrolled prior to the administrative cancellation for non/incomplete payment will be on a first-come/first-served basis and these classes may now be closed at the time I attempt re-registration. It is therefore in my best interest to avoid administrative cancellation for non/incomplete payment by paying my tuition and fee bill in full each term by the established payment deadline.
I acknowledge that Wright State University will attempt to notify me when I am at risk for administrative registration cancellation for non/incomplete payment however, there is no guarantee that I will be notified prior to the administrative registration cancellation. Therefore, it is my responsibility to monitor my student bill on a regular basis and ensure all fees are paid by the due date. I am solely responsible for the administrative enrollment cancellation and/or late payment fee consequences arising from non/incomplete payment and/or late payment of tuition and fees.
I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to withdraw from classes during the 100% refund period if I decide not to attend this semester and if I fail to withdraw by this deadline, I will be responsible for paying the tuition and fees on my student account. I can find information on fee payment deadlines and refund periods by consulting the University’s Academic Calendar.
Future Term - with Balance Owed
As a student of Wright State University, I understand if I carry an unpaid student account balance for a current or previous term, I may be blocked from registering for a future term. If I have an unpaid balance from a current or past term yet manage to enroll in classes for a future term, due to the timing of when a registration hold is placed on my account, I must pay the previous term balance in its entirety or my enrollment for my future term may be administratively canceled. A registration block will prevent re-enrollment into administratively canceled class registrations. The registration block will be removed only when the entire balance for my previous term has been paid in full. Once the registration block is removed following full payment, I must attempt re-enrollment in my previously-enrolled classes or enroll in other open classes using either on-line or in-person registration. I understand and acknowledge that administratively-canceled class registrations will not be reinstated automatically upon payment of the unpaid balance. Registration into classes following administrative cancellation is solely my responsibility. I can find information on fee payment deadlines, refund periods, and class start dates by consulting the University’s Academic Calendar.
I acknowledge that my attempt to re-register into the classes for which I was previously enrolled prior to the administrative cancellation for non/incomplete payment will be on a first-come/first-served basis and these classes may now be closed at the time I attempt re-registration. It is therefore in my best interest to avoid administrative cancellation for non/incomplete payment by paying my tuition and fee bill in full each term by the established payment deadline.
I acknowledge that Wright State University will attempt to notify me when I am at risk for administrative registration cancellation for non/incomplete payment however, there is no guarantee that I will be notified prior to the administrative registration cancellation. Therefore, it is my responsibility to monitor my student bill on a regular basis and ensure all fees are paid by the due date. I am solely responsible for the administrative enrollment cancellation and/or late payment fee consequences arising from non/incomplete payment and/or late payment of tuition and fees.
Delinquent Account/Collection
Financial Hold: I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing Wright State University by the scheduled due date, Wright State University will place a financial hold on my student account, preventing me from registering for future classes, requesting transcripts, or receiving my diploma.
Late Payment Charge: I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing Wright State University by the scheduled due date, Wright State University will assess late payment fees at the rate of $50 per month on the past due portion of my student account during the term my account remains unpaid.
Credit Bureau Reporting: I understand that Wright State University may report my delinquent account to one or more of the national credit bureaus.
Collection Fees: I understand and accept that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing Wright State University by the scheduled due date, and fail to make acceptable payment arrangements to bring my account current, Wright State University may refer my delinquent account to the State of Ohio, Attorney General in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. I further understand that if Wright State University refers my student account balance to the Attorney General for collection, interest and collection fees will be assessed and will be passed on to the account holder. The collection fee will be calculated at the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, but not to exceed 35% of the amount outstanding. In addition, the Attorney General reserves the right to litigate such account, and pass those costs on to the account holder.
Governing Law: For all actions or proceedings related to the collection of my debt to Wright State University, I irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in any state court in Ohio and I irrevocably agree that Ohio law will be used to determine the outcome of any such action or proceeding.

Upon leaving Wright State University for any reason, it is my responsibility to provide Wright State University with updated contact information for purposes of continued communication regarding any amounts that remain due and owing to Wright State University.
Financial Aid/Third Party Sponsorship
I understand that aid described as “estimated” on my Financial Aid Award does not represent actual or guaranteed payment, but is an estimate of the aid I may receive if I meet all requirements stipulated by that aid program.
I understand that my Financial Aid Award is contingent upon my continued enrollment and attendance in each class upon which my financial aid eligibility was calculated. If I drop any class before completion, I understand that my financial aid eligibility may decrease and some or all of the financial aid awarded to me may be revoked.
If some or all of my financial aid is revoked because I dropped or failed to attend class, I agree to repay all revoked aid that was disbursed to my account and resulted in a credit balance that was refunded to me.
I agree to allow financial aid I receive to pay any and all charges assessed to my account at Wright State University such as tuition, fees, campus housing and meal plans, student health insurance, parking permits, service fees, fines, bookstore charges, or any other amount, in accordance with the terms of the aid.
Federal Aid: I understand that any federal Title IV financial aid that I receive, except for Federal Work-Study wages, will first be applied to any outstanding balance on my account for tuition, fees, room, and board. Title IV financial aid includes aid from the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and Direct Loan programs including the PLUS Loan. I authorize Wright State University to apply my Title IV financial aid to other charges assessed to my student account, such as student health insurance, parking permits, bookstore charges, service fees and fines, and any other education-related charges. Refer to your Financial Aid award letter for rescission options.
Third Party Sponsors: If my third-party sponsor (private employer, governmental agency, etc.) fails to pay Wright State University by the end of the term, I assume responsibility for paying the amount the sponsor originally promised to pay on my behalf.

I understand that I can withdraw this consent by logging in to WINGS Express, selecting Student and Financial Aid, Student Fees, and Electronic IRS 1098-T Consent to opt-out of electronic statements.
