Late Payment Fee Appeal Request
This form is to be used for Late Tuition Payment Fee appeals only.
Submit Late Initial Enrollment Fee appeals to the Office of the Registrar - Tuition Assessment Section at

YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO APPEAL YOUR LATE TUITION PAYMENT FEE IF:
- A late fee was waived for you in the past.
- Your tuition payment has been late in the past.
- You wrote a bad check to UW-Madison in the past.
Note: Failure to receive a Tuition Student Account bill is not an accepted reason for neglecting to pay tuition fees by the due date. The tuition due date is posted in the Timetable. In addition, you can access your Tuition Student Account under the Financial tab on http://my.wisc.edu and determine the amount and due date.
HOW TO PREVENT THE PLACEMENT OF A HOLD ON YOUR ACCOUNT:
Send payment in full - including the late payment fee.
If a late fee waiver is granted after payment is received, the Bursar's Office will issue
and mail you a refund.
HOW TO FILE A LATE PAYMENT FEE APPEAL REQUEST:
If you were assessed a late payment fee and feel you are eligible for a late fee waiver,
you may appeal to a Bursar's Office - Student Accounts representative.
Note:
A late fee waiver is NOT granted if it is determined a student could have met the payment due date.
