Account Facts (Traditional)
Tuition and fees are due and payable prior to the beginning of each semester. Failure to pay current semester charges may cause the student’s class registration to be canceled. Unpaid charges on the student account may prevent the student from registering for an upcoming term. Each month you can review your account statement online listing charges and credits and showing the current balance. It is the student’s responsibility to make full payment, whether the student receives a statement or not. To view your student account statement, please log in to MyNCWU and click the My Finances tab, then My Account, and then Course and Fee Statement. You can then click on the button that says Generate My Course and Fee Statement.
Financial Aid
Check the student statements each month to make sure the financial aid is listed. Please refer to the Student Aid Award Letter to see what financial aid the student will receive and check it off as it appears on the statements. If financial aid does not appear on the statement, contact your financial aid counselor.
Student Liability and Responsibilities
When a student registers for a class, the student is liable for payment of the charges for that class, whether or not the student attends. The student will be billed for any unpaid charges, and the student may not register or obtain a transcript until the account is paid in full. To have charges removed or adjusted, the student must withdraw from a class during the refund drop period. (See Withdrawal Policy).
The student is responsible for full payment of all charges on the account by the due date, whether the student receives a bill or not, even if the account is being paid by another party.
The student is responsible for keeping the Registrar’s Office informed of any address changes.
Indebtedness Policy
Any student who has a financial indebtedness to North Carolina Wesleyan University may not be permitted to register for classes. The University may suspend all services and will withhold diplomas, transcripts, and all references until payment is received in full. The student understands and agrees that upon default for non-payment, any outstanding balances may be forwarded to a collection agency, and any costs or fees associated with the collection of the indebtedness will be charged to the student.
Credits that are the result of overpayments or excess financial aid will be refunded to the student by check OR Direct Deposit.

Registration at the University is considered a contract binding the student for charges for the entire semester. The University makes a number of financial commitments based on enrollment. Many of these commitments do not change even if students subsequently withdraw. However, in order to accommodate those exceptional situations, which require withdrawal, the University will allow prorated charges (during a specific time frame) to students who follow the official procedures for withdrawing from the University. Scholarships and other financial aid will be prorated in accordance with appropriate regulations.
Traditional Day Students:
-
During the first week (Drop/Add period): The University will calculate the total number of days the student attended (was enrolled) divided by the number of calendar days of the payment period (semester). This percentage will be used to determine charges for tuition, room, meal and other fees (excluding the orientation and processing fee). The health insurance will be removed at 100%. Financial Aid will be adjusted according to the Title IV guidelines.
-
The Second & Third Week: The University will calculate the total number of days the student attended (was enrolled) divided by the number of calendar days of the payment period (semester). This percentage will be used to determine tuition charges to be charged and financial aid credits for the payment period. There is no reduction to room, meal and other fees.
-
After the Third Week: no reduction in institutional charges; however, the University must continue to return Title IV funds as required up to 60% of the payment period. A detailed copy of the Treatment of Title IV funds refund policy as required by the U.S. Department of Education is available in the Business Office. The withdrawal date and last day of attendance in classes are a factor in determining how much aid you are eligible to keep.** This may result in a balance due on your student account.
Adult & Professional Studies and Graduate Students:
All Adult & Professional Studies and Graduate students must withdraw from their classes within the first seven (7) days of the term/subterm to receive a credit of the tuition cost. After this time, the student will be fully charged for the class whether they attend or not. Financial Aid will be adjusted per Federal and State regulations for that payment period (semester).
Please note, that withdrawing from the University does not eliminate a balance that you may owe. Also, withdrawing from the University may cause you to owe additional funds.
The student will receive a letter from the Business Office within 45 days from the date of withdrawal stating what the remaining balance is on the student account.
Traditional Students:

Many employers realize the value of education and want to invest in their employees. North Carolina Wesleyan University works directly with students who have the ability to utilize employer payment options to assist in their education. This is a wonderful benefit that can assist students with the financial aspect of paying for college.
To utilize these benefits with the University each semester:
1. Students must enroll in the semester/term
2. Student must submit both the below forms to the Business Office:
- Employer Reimbursement Plan/3rd Party Program Student Agreement
- Employer Reimbursement Plan/3rd Party Program Employer Agreement
A letter of credit from the employer can be usedThe Student Agreement must be submitted at the time of registration. The Employer Agreement can be submitted after registration if necessary. The student will be considered as receiving the ERP benefits with the University once both forms are submitted.
3. The student is responsible for sending billing information to their employer for payment (unless otherwise specified on the student agreement). Students may request information from the Business Office to assist with this process.
The ERP benefit allows up to 60 days for employers to pay for classes once the class ends. Students will be permitted to carry forward a balance of $3000 to the next semester as long as all payments are current. This means that all previous semester charges have been paid in full and sessions that are due within the current semester have been paid.
