How Wooster's Billing Works

A billing statement for each semester will be mailed about 25 days prior to the August 10, 2008, and January 10, 2009, semester payment due dates. While merit scholarships will automatically appear on the semester bills, students anticipating need-based financial aid must submit all required financial aid documentation to the Financial Aid office by June 25 to help assure such aid will be credited on the Fall Semester bill. The remaining balance on the bills must be paid in full by the semester payment due dates via one or more of the following payment alternatives to avoid a 5% late payment fee:

1. Direct payment by check or money order. We regret that the College cannot accept credit cards;

2. Enrollment in the College's Monthly Payment Plan for some or all of the year's estimated net expenses. NOTE: One-half of the Monthly Payment Plan annual budget amount is credited toward each semester's fees, and enrollment in the Monthly Payment Plan must be confirmed by Key Bank Education Resources no later than July 31;

3. Timely application, approval, and receipt by the payment due date of PLUS or other private loans. Note: One-half of approved loan amounts are generally disbursed each semester, and application should be completed by July 1 to allow adequate processing time prior to the Fall Semester payment due date.

What Other Payments Might Be Required

Optional Sickness & Accident Medical Plan: This $385 Estimated Fee, which covers the cost of a $10,000 major medical plan (with a 20% co-payment after $100 deductible), is due by the Fall Semester payment due date unless a waiver card documenting other medical plan coverage is completed and received by such due date.

Private Music Lessons: With respect to private music lessons, a fee of $424 is charged for fourteen weekly one-half hour lessons per semester, regardless of whether the lessons are taken for credit or audit. This fee is waived, however, for: (a) lessons in the primary instrument or voice required of declared music majors in all music degree programs, and (b) lessons required of Music Performance Scholarship winners regardless of class year or major.

Notes

Semester fees must be paid in full in order to receive access to residence/dining halls and to participate in College activities. In addition, registration for classes cannot be approved until the student account balance is paid in full. If the semester fees are not paid in full by the payment due date, a 5% late payment fee, up to $300 maximum, will be assessed. Transcripts of grades will not be released until payment has been made. Students who have not paid their account in full by the first day of classes will have their course registrations cancelled, and a $200 re-registration fee will be assessed to students who complete their payment requirements after the first day of classes.
