Orientation Webinar Recording – Paying Your Bill – A discussion presented by the staff of Financial Aid and Veteran Services and Student Financial Services
WHAT ARE MY PAYMENT OPTIONS (FOR STUDENTS AND OTHER PAYERS)?
You can pay in person with cash, checks or money orders.
Checks and money orders should be payable to University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. To ensure proper credit to your account, be sure to include your student ID number in the memo.
Bring your check or money order payment to the Student Financial Services Office (Student Resource Center Room 171) or send by mail to:

900 Reserve Street
Stevens Point WI 54481
If a check is returned by the bank as non-negotiable, the payment will be reversed and a $25.00 service charge will be assessed to your account. Payment by NSF check will be treated as nonpayment of tuition and fees and a $75.00 administrative fee may be added to your account.
You can pay with an e-check or credit card through your accesSPoint account.
Log into accesSPoint, select the Financial Account/Billing Tile, then choose Make a Payment from the side menu bar.
E-Checks – To pay by e-check you will need to enter your checking or savings account number and the bank routing number. A $0.50 convenience fee is charged per E-Check transaction.

HOW DO I ENROLL IN A PAYMENT PLAN?
We have partnered with Transact Payments for tuition payment plans. The Summer plan consists of 2 installments, and the Fall and Spring semesters consist of 4 installments.
There is a $50 fee to enroll which is due immediately to confirm enrollment in the plan. Payment plans are term/semester specific, and you must enroll each term/semester in which you wish to have an installment plan. Interest is not assessed when enrolled in the payment plan.
Transact Payments accounts are fully online and self-service for students and parents. Credit or debit card transactions will charge a 2.95% convenience fee (4.25% for international cards). Electronic check payments will charge a $0.50 convenience fee per transaction.
Auto payment capability is available through your payment plan account on Transact Payments.

WHAT IF MY EMPLOYER OR AN AGENCY IS PAYING MY TUITION?
If tuition and fees are being paid by an agency or employer, you must make certain they have provided an authorization letter to the Student Financial Services Office by the tuition due date. The agency or employer will be billed directly for the tuition and fees they authorize. Students who provide authorizations after the tuition due date are responsible for administrative fees and interest.
An agency or employer will not be billed if payment is dependent on grades. The student is responsible for payment of fees by the tuition due date and should seek reimbursement from the employer.
HOW DO SCHOLARSHIP PAYMENTS WORK?
Students must report all scholarships to the Financial Aid and Veteran Services Office using the Scholarship Reporting E-Form.
If you receive a scholarship check, do not deposit to your personal bank account. These checks can be brought to Student Financial Services Monday through Friday between 8:00 am -4:00 pm or mailed to the following address:

Please complete the Scholarship Reporting E-Form and ensure the following are included with the check:
- Student’s name
- Student ID
- Documentation received with the check
If the check is made payable to you, please make sure you have signed the back of the check and endorsed it over to UWSP by writing “Pay to the order of UWSP” below your signature. If the check is made payable to you and UWSP, you will need to sign the back before mailing to us.
If a scholarship check is mailed directly to Student Financial Services and made payable to UWSP, the check will be receipted and forwarded to Financial Aid and Veteran Services for processing. If the check is made payable to you and UWSP, we will email you requesting that you stop in to sign the back of the check. Please be sure you come in as soon as possible so disbursement is not delayed to your account.
Scholarships will not be posted to your account the same day they are received.
The Financial Aid and Veteran Services Office will review your scholarship and determine how it affects your total aid package before releasing the funds to your account. This process could take a few days so please ensure your scholarships are provided to Student Financial Services as soon as you receive them.

Tax Education Benefits
If you are a US resident for tax purposes, you may be eligible to claim a tax credit on your federal tax return if you paid qualified educational expenses to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 provides educational tax incentives for eligible taxpayers. These benefits, the Lifetime Learning Credit and the American Opportunity Tax Credit, allow taxpayers to reduce their federal income tax based upon qualified tuition and fees, assuming the taxpayer meets all eligibility requirements. The determination as to whether you qualify for tax credits should be made in consultation with your personal tax advisor or the Internal Revenue Service. The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point cannot give you tax advice or make a determination as to whether you qualify for tax credits.
W-9S Form
If you have not provided the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point with a Social Security (SSN) or Other Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), please complete the W-9S form. The IRS requires the university to collect your TIN or SSN to complete IRS Form 1098-T, tuition statement for all citizens and resident aliens. If you are a citizen or resident alien, the IRS may subject you to a $50 penalty for not providing the university with this information.
