Late Payments
A late payment charge of $2.50 per credit with a maximum of $30.00 will be charged to any student making the minimum payment during the second week of classes. Failure to pay by the 10th day of the term may result in the cancellation of the student' registration. Students allowed to re-register will be charged a late payment fee of $3.75 per credit to a maximum of $5.00 and a re-admittance charge of $25.00.
Refund for Overpayment of Tuition
All refunds for overpayment of tuition will be applied to the student's Stout One Card. You must go to www.uwstoutone.com to activate your New ID CARD and choose how you wish to receive your refund(s). Subsequent changes made to the course schedule will likely result in additional charges or refunds. Any refunds that occur as a result of schedule changes will automatically be sent to your Stout One Account.
Refund Schedule for Withdrawals and Drops
Refunds for fees paid are prorated according to the length of the course and the number of weeks a course has been in session. When a student withdraws, depending on how much time has lapsed in the semester will determine if a refund is owed to the student and how much. LAB FEES ARE REFUNDABLE THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF THE TERM ONLY.
If a student withdraws within the first two weeks of the semester, an administrative fee, (withdrawal fee), will be accessed for processing the withdrawal. The fees are $50.00 in the first week, $100.00 in the second week, or 5% of institutional charges, whichever is less.

Repayment of Financial Aid if You Withdraw
If you withdraw from the University before 60 percent of the semester has been completed, the University is required to determine the amount of your Federal Financial Aid (other than work-study) that must be returned. The amount of aid you may keep when you withdraw is in direct proportion to the length of time you remained enrolled during the semester. You may owe a repayment of your Financial Aid even though you are not eligible for a refund of your tuition. The University will notify you of the dollar amount owed.
*Even if you do not complete the formal withdrawal process and just stop attending class, these rules apply and you will be billed for any balance due and any financial aid repayment required.
E-Scholar Damage and Repair Fees
The following are Laptop fees in accordance to the E-Scholar Student Laptop Computer Agreement:
E-Scholar Damage Fee: If the computer is found to be damaged during inspection by a University authorized repair technician, the university may charge the student a $50.00 fee for the first incident of damage and an incrementally escalating $50.00 fee for each subsequent incident of damage. ($50.00 for the first incident, $100.00 for the second incident, $150.00 for the third incident, etc.) These amounts will be added to the student's University account.
E-Scholar Accessory Fee: If accessories are missing when the student returns the laptop to the University, the student will be charged for full replacement cost of each missing accessory.
E-Scholar Stolen/Lost Fee: The University may bill the student for the replacement costs of the laptop and accessories if he/she fails to report theft or loss of the laptop within 48 hours of the occurrence. In cases of theft or loss, the student may also be responsible for a $400.00 fee.
Non-Compliance Fee: In the event that I do not return the computer within stated timeframe, the University may, at its discretion, place a hold on my University record, bill me for the replacement cost of the computer and/or a $400.00 fee, and initiate collection, repossession, or police investigative action. I understand that the University may charge me collection costs in the event it has to initiate a collection or repossession action.
All charges for laptop damages or fees will be added to the student's University account.
