ATD - Advance Tuition Deposit Policy

What is ATD?

All students are required to pay a $100 Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD) each fall and spring semester prior to registration. The ATD is not a fee, but an advance payment applied to your tuition. The ATD is a financial commitment to pay tuition and fees to UW-Richland.

Can I register without paying the ATD?

PRISM will not allow you to register until you pay the $100 ATD.  (After you pay your $100 ATD, it may be a few hours before you can actually register in PRISM.)

What does ATD signify?

When you pay the ATD and register for classes you are considered financially committed to UW-Richland. This means if you want to withdraw from all your classes you must officially withdraw by contacting Student Services or you will owe full tuition and fees. You will not be withdrawn for not paying your tuition.

Are there any exemptions?

Online students, Youth Options Program students, and Senior Auditors and Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance (over 62) students are exempted. In extreme cases students with a financial hardship may request an exemption from paying the ATD.  Contact Business Services for more information.

How do I make a payment?

You may pay your ATD by cash, check or money order at Business Services or by credit card or electronic check via PRISM.

Can I get a refund?

The ATD is refundable if you withdraw from classes prior to July 1 for fall term or prior to December 1 for spring term.  If you withdraw on or after those dates, you forfeit your $100 ATD.

No Show Policy

If you do not attend your first and second class sessions and haven’t contacted your instructor by email, phone or mail, you will be dropped from the course.  If you do not attend any of your first and second class sessions, you will be withdrawn from UW-Richland and will forfeit your $100 Advance Tuition Deposit.  Please contact Student Services for further information.
