Important Facts to Remember
- Payments to Sallie Mae are disbursed to the university the following month after your payment is made to them. For example: A payment made to Sallie Mae January 5 is not received by the University until February 5.
- Financial aid or other financial assistance should be considered when figuring a budget with Sallie Mae. If you receive enough financial assistance to cover your Student Account balance, you may cancel your contract with Sallie Mae Tuition Pay without penalty and are recommended to do so.
- Adjusting Tuition Pay budgets can be done at any time. It is highly recommended that you review your budget after receiving your billing statement from the University for adjustment. Generally, the initial Tuition Pay budget is planned using estimated costs, so an adjustment based on actual costs may be needed.
- You will receive a billing statement from the University even if you have a payment plan with Sallie Mae. Remember, when reviewing this statement, that you will need to deduct from your outstanding balance any payments made to Sallie Mae but not yet received and posted by UNCW. Again we receive payments from Sallie Mae Tuition Pay one month following your payment to them
