Tuition Account Information
When will I see my payment on the account?
Mailed, In-Person & Drop Box Payments
- Payments received during normal business hours Monday-Friday apply to the Tuition account the same day.
- Payments received on holidays and weekends apply to the Tuition account the next business day.
- Mailed payments are effective the date received, not the postmarked date.
ePayments
- Apply to the Tuition account real-time (when submitted).
- If you receive an ePayment confirmation, payment is successful - do not resubmit the payment. A receipt is sent to the e-mail provided.
- There may be a short delay before an ePayment reflects on a Tuition account during heavy ePayment activity.
- Student – if your MY UW>Student Center window is open when making an ePayment, 'refresh' the view for the ePayment to reflect on your account.
- If MY UW is down for maintenance, ePayments an Authorized Payer submits apply to the Tuition account when the system is available, and are effective the date submitted.
- Students can view all payments applied to their Tuition account per semester on MyUW >Student Center>Tuition Account Summary.
Foreign Currency ePayments
- By selecting a Foreign Currency payment on the Tuition Account eBill/ePayment site, you will have a 'Pending' payment to signify that you began the process.
- A PENDING Foreign Currency payment does not release holds, permit registration for classes, or credit your UW_Madison Tuition Account.
- A Foreign Currency ePayment does not apply to the Tuition Account until it's initiated with your foreign bank.
- It may take 2-5 business days from the date you deliver the printed transaction form to your foreign bank to transfer the funds via Western Union to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, before the payment is applied to your Tuition Account.
