CREDIT CARD CONVENIENCE FEE

The Cashiers Office at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh does not accept credit card payments at the cashiering window, through the mail or over the telephone. Payments may only be processed for credit cards and e-checks through our web-based payment system that is linked through the Titan Web page.  MasterCard and American Express are the only credit cards accepted.  Visa is not accepted for tuition and fees.


All credit card payments are subject to a 2.5% convenience fee.  This amount will be clearly stated when you proceed through the credit card payment process.

 

The web-check option is available as a payment option with a fee of 50¢ per transaction. This will also be available through a link on the Titan Web page.

 

The University continues to provide an installment payment plan that allows you to pay each semester’s bill in up to three installments. The finance charge assessed is 1% of the outstanding balance over 30 days old.   For additional information on how to participate in this option please visit our installment pay plan website link: http://www.uwosh.edu/admin_serv/newstdaccts.htm

 

Questions and Answers:

Credit cards accepted:
    MasterCard
    American Express

Can I avoid the 2.5% convenience fee?
The 2.5% convenience fee will be charged on all Credit card transactions. If payment is made via e-check there is a 50¢ processing fee.  No additional processing fees will be added if paying by cash or by check in person at the cashiers window.  If you need to mail your payment, only checks will be accepted,
do not send cash through the mail.

Why is there a fee for Tuition but not at the Bookstore, Reeve Union etc.
    The credit card costs they absorb are built into their retail prices.  We cannot add this cost to the
    tuition set by the Board of Regents.

Are other universities charging a convenience fee?
    Most of the other University of Wisconsin system schools are either charging a fee or have
    stopped accepting credit cards.

Will the convenience fee show on my statement of account?
    Yes, it will be listed as a separate charge.
