titleHow do I view and pay my bill?
  • After you register for your courses, you may view all of your tuition and fees information in the CashNet - Pay Your Bills app in MyUWF. You can see the payment deadlines, options for payment plans, and you can pay your bill from this app. If you have any questions about your tuition and fees, please contact Student Accounts/Cashier.

titleWhat's a "Part of Term" and how do I find out the "Part of Term" for my course?
  • A “Part of Term” (POT) is the time frame within the semester a course is taught. Some courses run over the entire semester, some run 6 or 8 weeks within the semester, and some have more uncommon time ranges. There are about 13 different Parts of Term overall.

  • The CRN is the Course Reference Number.
  • It's an individual 5-digit number associated with a specific course offering in a given semester.

  • An SAI Hold means you haven’t submitted the required Student Assessment of Instruction (SAI) for one of your current courses.

titleWhat is the difference in a “withdrawal” and a “drop”?
  • Drops
    • If the course is still within the “Drop/Add Period” as outlined in the Official Academic Calendar, the student can drop a class from their schedule with no tuition liability and without that course being part of their academic record. The student must know the course’s Part of Term in order to find the correct Drop/Add Period in the Academic Calendar. See previous FAQ for more on “Parts of Term.” 
  • Individual Course Withdrawals

    • After the Drop/Add Period, a student may withdraw from a course as long as they do so before that course’s withdrawal deadline as published in the Academic Calendar. In this case as well, the student must know the course’s Part of Term in order to find the correct withdrawal deadline in the Academic calendar. Refunds are not issued for individual course withdrawals and a “W” will be assigned for the grade that displays in the student’s academic record.

titleMy advisor does not have any availability during hours I am available because I work during the day. What should I do?

Reach out to your advisor to see if there may be a mutually agreeable time. If this cannot be arranged, check with your advisor regarding email advising.

titleI finish my degree in the summer semester. When can I attend the Commencement Ceremony?

Summer semesters do not have a Commencement Ceremony. Most students who complete their final requirements for their degree in the summer semester can choose to participate in either the spring semester preceding their summer graduation or the fall semester after their summer graduation.

Please note certain graduate programs, such as the Education Specialist (EdS) and the Education Doctorate (EdD), do not allow for any students to attend the Commencement Ceremony until ALL of their degree requirements are fully met. If a student in one of these programs completes all of their degree requirements in the summer semester, they would not be allowed to choose to attend the Commencement Ceremony in the spring semester preceding their summer graduation. Please check with your advisor if you have any questions.

Please visit the Commencement website to RSVP (for the live ceremony or virtual participation) and review all relevant information (venue, parking, caps/gowns, etc.).
