Past Due Balances
Collections
Hours
8:15 AM – 4:45 PM (CST), Monday – Friday
It is every student’s responsibility to be aware of deadlines as posted in the Academic Calendar and Transact Account Balance page. Failure to pay all fees or receive authorized deferred payment status by the fee payment due date will result in the assessment of a $100 late payment fee or cancellation of the student's registration.
Students with delinquent balances at the University (tuition and fees, financial aid billings, loans, library fines, etc.) must pay these fees in full to avoid assessment of additional collection costs. Failure to pay the balance will result in holds preventing registration, diplomas, and transcripts. Holds could also prevent the release of financial aid.
The Collections department is responsible for the recovery of delinquent accounts and funds owed to the University of West Florida.
The Collections department is available to discuss repayment options. All student information is kept strictly confidential. In the event that due diligence has been exhausted and an agreeable repayment has not been achieved, the Collections department will refer accounts to one of several contracted collection agencies. The same safeguard of student information is exercised by these agencies, as well as the credit bureaus they report to.
In order for UWF staff to discuss students' account information with parents/guardians, students must provide authorization through the Contact and Privacy Info app in MyUWF.
