Cashier’s Office: cashier@uwosh.edu | (920) 424-1338

Learn more about Student Financial Services
Students are required to sign a financial agreement to pay tuition and fees prior to registering for each Fall, Spring, and Summer term. For each Fall and Spring term, 10 percent of the total bill is due the first date, and two 45-percent payments are due the following months. In Summer, 50 percent of the total bill is due on each of the two payment dates. In January and May term, 100 percent of the total bill is due on the payment date. The amount due for a student is shown on TitanWeb in the account balance summary section. There is a 1-percent finance charge assessed on the first business day of the month for any unpaid balance. There is never any prepayment penalty — students may pay the balance in full at the start of the term to avoid any finance charges.
It is important to monitor your TitanWeb account regularly for new charges. Students often charge textbooks to their account or have Student Health Center charges added to their account throughout the semester. Failure to monitor your Titan Web account does not alter the date your bill is due.
Payment can be made at the Cashier’s Office in Dempsey Hall, second floor, main hall, with cash or check. Envelopes are available near the cashier’s window along with a payment drop box that can be used for payment drop offs at any time. In-person credit card payments cannot be accepted at the Cashier’s Window; however, E-Check or credit/debit card payments can be made online via TitanWeb. The E-Check requires entering a bank routing number and account number with a $0.50 service charge. The credit/debit card option has a 2.85% service fee.
Late payments will result in a hold on a student’s account. The hold prevents a student from adding classes, requesting transcripts and enrolling in future terms.
