Orientation 2013

Paying tuition and fees

1. How do you get your bill?
Bills are available electronically. Students (and any authorized user that students enroll—see essential number 2, below) will receive an email notice from the Office of Bursar when bills are available for viewing. For students, the notice will be sent to their Wright State email account. For authorized users, notices are sent to the email address provided by the student at time of enrollment. Learn more about accessing your account online.

2. For your parents or other family members
You can set up a parent or other person as an authorized user (allows them to view your student account and pay fees) through WINGS Express. Once in WINGS, click on the WINGS Express icon, click on Student and Financial Aid link, then Student Fees, and then select a term. After selecting term, click on the link to View and Pay Bills. Once you are in the WINGS Express Student Fees site, click on Authorized Users at the top of the toolbar. Then follow the online instructions provided to enroll the parent, guardian, or any other individual who needs to have access to your account.

3. Payment Plan
If you choose to do the payment plan, one-third of the fees must be paid along with $40 non-refundable application fee at time of enrollment into the plan. You will have pre-determined due dates for the remainder of your fees.

4. Waiver for health insurance and legal services
Only students are able to opt out of Student Health Insurance or Student Legal Services through WINGS Express. Parents and other authorized users are not able to do so.

To decline health insurance, go to WINGS Express and select the following: Students & Financial Aid Tab, Registration & Records link, and Required Acknowledgment link. For Student Legal Services, sign on to WINGS Express and select the Student & Financial Aid link, Student Fees link, then select the term and click on the link directly under the Optional Services menu to find out more information about the Student Legal Services program including how to waive this fee.

5. Online payment options
Online payment options include electronic checks, bank debit cards, and credit cards (MasterCard, Discover, and American Express). A 2.75% convenience fee is assessed to credit card payments.

6. Scholarship or alternative loans
Students receiving scholarships from external organizations (such as the Rotary Club) and those applying for an alternative loan should communicate this information to RaiderConnect at (937) 775-4000 or by email at raider.connect@wright.edu at least 60 days prior to the start of the semester.

7. Financial responsibility
If your class schedule is established by July 31 and your payment is not received by August 15, your registration will be canceled and you will need to re-register for classes.

If you register during the open or late registration periods (August 1 or after), your class registration will be maintained, but you will have a $50 late payment fee assessed to your account if payment is not received by the open or late registration fee payment due dates. Read the Student's Acknowledgement of Financial Responsibility Policy.

8. Pay your fees by August 15 to prevent cancellation of classes
You can pay online through WINGS Express or by mail.
