Billing System

The student receivables system brings University charges and credits into one account. The Billing and Receivables Office will compile the latest information from University offices (i.e., Financial Aid, Registrar, and University Housing and Dining) and prepare the monthly billing statement. A finance charge of 1% per month on the unpaid balance from the prior month’s billing will be assessed. A student with an account balance will be denied registration.

The University bills by semester, not by academic year. Actively enrolled students will receive their billing statement notification via WIU email. Notification will be sent to students at their WIU email address when each bill is ready to view on STARS. Students may establish additional email addresses to which the notification may also be sent on STARS. The email will include the account balance and the due date. Details must be viewed on STARS. Failure to view a bill will not excuse finance charge assessments or late payment of the account. It is the responsibility of students to correct and update their address and email addresses on STARS.
