  • It may be that you haven’t submitted the required Student Assessment of Instruction (SAI) for one of your courses.

  • Any courses where SAIs were not submitted will cause a hold that will not be removed until the Friday of grades week.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.

Log into MyUWF and access the CashNet - Pay Your Bills app. This app will display your specific tuition and fees information, deadline for payment, and any payment plan options that may be available. Questions about your fees should be directed to Student Accounts.
