Billing

Student account information is available through Vitnet. In addition, monthly student account statements are mailed to all students the first of each month for those who have outstanding account balances. These statements contain actual charges, payment information, and financial aid which has been applied to students’ accounts. Payment must be made to the business office using cash, checks, or credit cards. Viterbo accepts Mastercard, Discover, and VISA credit cards only. Payment by credit cards are accepted by phone, in person, and online. To make a payment via the phone please call the business office at 608-796-3850.

Minimum Payment Requirements/Enrollment Confirmation

Viterbo University policy requires that any balance from a previous semester be paid in full prior to the first day of a new semester's classes, or attendance will not be permitted. In addition, all students are required to make a minimum cash payment of $500 each semester, exclusive of financial aid and any deposits. If it can be verified that your financial aid has been disbursed to your student account and covers all semester charges, you will be confirmed without being required to pay the $500 deposit. However, you still need to verify this with the business office and inform them that you are taking classes for the semester.

Interest Charges

Interest charges will be assessed at a nominal annual rate of 15 percent to all delinquent accounts. To avoid the monthly interest charge, student account balances need to be paid in full by the end of the month.

Refunds Checks

Viterbo University will produce refund checks for all students who have a credit balance after all charges have been paid. Refund checks will be available in the business office on the second Friday of each semester and every subsequent Thursday throughout the semester. Any refund check not picked up on the day it is available will be mailed to the student's home address the next morning. If you desire to maintain a credit balance on your student account, you must see Kevin Ganther, director of student billing/accounts receivable, in the business office and complete an authorization form during the first week of classes. Refund checks will be produced for all students who have not completed such an authorization.

To leave a credit balance on your student account, please complete the Authorization to Maintain a Credit Balance form and return it to Kevin Ganther in the business office.

To receive a refund check associated with a parent loan, please have your parent complete a Waiver Form for Federal Plus Loans form and return it to Kevin Ganther in the business office.

V-Bucks

A student may purchase V-Bucks anytime during the semester at the campus dining office. Students are allowed to charge V-Bucks to their student accounts only in the event he/she has received enough financial aid to cover the V-Bucks purchase in addition to tuition, fees, and other charges. Charging is only allowed beginning the first day of a semester (fall and spring only) through the Thursday of the second week of the semester. Any student wishing to charge V-Bucks must visit the business office.

Student Health Insurance

Viterbo University has information available for student health insurance plans. None of the plans are sponsored by the university. If interested, please inquire at the business office.

After Hours Drop Off Box

The business office has an after hours drop off box located to the right of the business office windows. You may drop off payments, time cards, or documents for the business office, financial aid office, or registrar office.
