Spring Semester classes begin Monday, January 26, 2009. An invoice for semester tuition and fees will NOT be mailed to students. Students are strongly advised to make use of the PRISM on-line program to access and monitor information regarding tuition and account balances, financial aid, and payments. Call the Business Services Office at 920-832-2613, or stop in for information about your fees if you are not clear about the amount due. If you have questions regarding the courses for which you are registered, call the Student Services Office at 920-832-2620.
Registration and Financial Liability
Upon registration for classes, you are considered financially committed to UW-Fox Valley. This means if you want to withdraw from any or all of your classes you must officially withdraw by contacting Student Services or you will owe full tuition and fees. The balance of fees owed must be paid at the time of registration or before the end of the second week of classes. A $100 late payment fee will be assessed for failure to pay the balance by the due date, or failure to enroll in the payment plan (which requires a $200 down payment and signed agreement) by the due date, or failure to receive a financial aid deferment by the due date.

If you are receiving financial assistance (including federal and state financial aid, scholarships, veteran's administration support, or from other sources), you are responsible for the payment of your fees by February 6, 2009. Note that delivery of financial aid is not permitted before February 2, 2009. At the time of delivery the amount of tuition and fees owed to the university will be deducted from the aid you are to receive. Any balance will be mailed to your home address.
