Billing Schedules & Due Dates

Payment is due by the due date shown on your bill. If you do not receive a bill, follow the payment deadline schedule listed below.

Cancellation for Non-Payment

In accordance with state law, payment for tuition and fees is due prior to the start of the term. UNCW students agree upon registration to pay all their student account charges when due and acknowledge that, if these charges are not paid, the University may: charge penalty and interest, cancel registration, suspend registration and/or withhold a degree.

UNCW drops for non-payment the day after the Bill Due date for the first two bills issued each semester. Students whose schedules are canceled may find it difficult or impossible to re-register for the same courses because their seats may have been taken by students on wait lists.
