Step 3 - Complete the Financial Responsibility Statement Agreement
After activating your MyUWF Account, complete the Financial Responsibility Statement. This is an agreement the University requires every UWF student to acknowledge before being able to register for classes. This can cause confusion for students whose tuition is paid by a third party. Unfortunately, there's no way to avoid this requirement, regardless of a student's method of payment. Thankfully, it's an easy process!
