Our office sends bills monthly. Actively enrolled students will receive their billing statement via STARS. Notification will be sent to the student at their WIU e-mail address when each bill is produced and ready to view on STARS. The e-mail will include the account balance and due date. Detail must be viewed on STARS.

You can access all addresses WIU has on file through STARS.

Students may establish additional email addresses for the billing notification on STARS under the Financials tab then select Billing E-Mail Addresses. These email addresses will receive the student's billing information and any additional notification emails from Billing and Receivables.

Students can automatically access account balances by selecting Account Detail on STARS under the Financials tab. The information is also available during regular business hours by calling 309-298-1831.

Send an email to billings@wiu.edu or call 298-1831 to request a refund. The email must include your name and student ID# when asking for the credit to be refunded. If the credit can be released, a refund will be processed. Refunds will be deposited to the bank account designated by the student on STARS Direct Deposit Authorization.

Students may have their refunds directly deposited by completing the WIU Payments/Refunds section on the Direct Deposit Authorization screen located on STARS under the Financials tab.

When we issue students a refund, we must reflect a charge to represent the refund.

Federal regulations state that we can only apply Title IV awards (Pell, Perkins, SEOG, Stafford Loan) to tuition, fees, room and board - not miscellaneous charges.
