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 Student Accounts 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, ROTC, AT&T, Fortis, Department of the Army, Independent Living Program, Intercall, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Georgia Association for Young Children, Trade Adjustment Assistance, United Auto Workers, Prepaid Affordable College Tuition, and the Florida Prepaid College Fund.

Past Due Accounts 

An account is considered past due after mid-point in the semester. At this point we place a hold on the student’s account 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 or until satisfactory arrangements have been made. All past due accounts are referred to an outside Collection Agency for collection after the current semester has ended and if the student has not contacted the Student Accounts Office to make satisfactory payment arrangements. 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.

Tax Information

In January of each year, you will receive a 1098T for the previous calendar year for which you may be eligible to claim a tax credit. For more information regarding the tax credit please refer to IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION.
