Student Accounts Office
Third Party Billing
If you participate in a third party billing program for tuition, fees, and/or books and if the third party will be making payment directly to the University of West Georgia, you should contact the Bursar's Office prior to the fee payment deadline for the Semester in which you will be attending. We currently bill the following agencies: Department of Human Resources for Vocational Rehabilitation, Veteran’s Administration, Department of the Army, Independent Living Program, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Georgia Association for Young Children, Trade Adjustment Assistance, United Auto Workers, Prepaid Affordable College Tuition (PACT), Texas Tomorrow, and the Florida Prepaid College Fund.
Past Due Accounts
An account is considered past due after the drop-add period in the semester. A hold is placed on all past due accounts which will prohibit the student from registering for any future semesters or from obtaining an official transcript from the University until the account is paid in full. All past due accounts are subject to possible administrative drop and/or referral to an outside Collection Agency for collection. If an account is referred to an outside agency, the student is responsible for paying the cost of collection to the collection agency, and the account is reported to a national credit bureau.
Restriction of Services to Students - Board of Regents Policy - BPM 10.1.1
All students having student accounts with a balance older than ninety (90) days must have services withheld until the balance is paid. The restriction of services will prevent the student from having access to transcripts, registering for additional classes, or graduating until the receivable is paid. At many institutions, this restriction of services may be referenced as a "hold" on the student's records.
Note: Institutions may have more stringent restrictions that this section requires.
