Payment Information

Invoices are mailed during the fall and spring semesters to students who register well in advance of the semester start date. If you do not receive an invoice it is your responsibility to access Web-REG to verify the amount you owe. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of all semester deadlines, including refunds and fee payments. Students who do not pay fees by published deadlines may be removed from class rosters. However, if a payment is made to a student's account for a previously registered class, or from any other source such as financial aid, a scholarship, a third party, etc. the student may not be removed from class rosters.

Students are responsible for all costs associated with registration, regardless of any invoice that may or may not have been received, and regardless of attendance or class participation unless classes are dropped within the 100 percent refund period.

Paying by Internet

Pay fees with Visa, MasterCard, or Discover through the Internet via the Web-REG system. Be sure to verify your account balance after submitting your request. There is a $10 minimum charge when paying by credit card.

Paying by Mail/Drop Box

Make checks payable to Board of Regents. Indicate the student's Social Security or student ID number and mail to WNC, Attn: Controller's Office, 2201 West College Parkway, Carson City, NV 89703-7399. A fee payment box for after hours is located on the Carson City campus.

Agency Fee Payment

Students must submit the authorization for third party payment to the Business Office within the week that they register. The fax number is 775-445-3027.

Late Fee

A $25.00 late fee will be assessed for students who register or add classes during the late registration period. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of important semester dates and deadlines, including registration, refund and fee payment deadlines.

Deferred Payments

Contracts for deferred payment of registration fees are available to students who register for six or more semester credit hours in a fall or spring semester. Application for admission fees, laboratory fees, and costs of Community Education credits and courses may not be deferred. Special fees, i.e., lab fees, insurance, etc., and approximately half of the registration and tuition fees are payable at registration.

The unpaid balance is due and payable no later than Friday of the sixth week of instruction. If payment for deferred fees has not been made by the required date, the account will be considered delinquent and the student will be placed on financial hold for future registration, grade, transcript, diploma, and certificate privileges.

A penalty fee of $10 or 10 percent, whichever is greater, will be charged on all delinquent accounts. The registrar is authorized, if necessary, to officially withdraw a student from classes for nonpayment of the balance.

A student who qualifies for the deferred contract and sends in the first payment by the published deadline agrees to the contract rules. No written contract is required. To set up a deferment, access Web-REG and select the account and billing option.

Delinquent Accounts

All delinquent accounts will be placed on financial hold. Students on financial hold may not receive a transcript, register for classes or be awarded a certificate/diploma until the account has been cleared and financial hold removed. Delinquent accounts may be sent to collection after 90 days. The student will be assessed collection/legal fees.

WNC does not furnish counter checks and under no circumstances will postdated or altered checks be accepted. A $25 collection fee will be assessed for any check returned as unpaid from the bank. Returned checks must be made good within ten days of the bank's notification (cash, cashiers check or money order only) or the college will begin collection procedures.
