Prior Student
Payment Options
Students that exit the College are categorized as “prior students” for student account purposes. Prior students will continue to have access to Transact and their Wartburg email address for at least 90 days from their official exit date. Statements for both their unpaid student account and/or McElroy/Henkel Loan will be mailed monthly around the 5th business day of each month to the address on file. If a student would prefer to have their statement emailed, the student may contact the Business Office to make these arrangements.
Unpaid Student Billing Account
If a student exits the College with an unpaid student account balance, an email will be sent from “Wartburg Student Accounts” to both the student’s Wartburg and personal email addresses providing them with a link to make a one-time electronic payment or to set up a monthly electronic payment plan via Flywire. Students may also pay via cash or check in our office or mail payments to:
Wartburg College
Attn: Business Office
P.O. Box 1003
Waverly, IA 50677-0903
Monthly finance charges will continue to accrue until the balance is paid in full or sent to collections. The College reserves the right to withhold diplomas until all balances are paid in full. Official transcripts will be released when all balances are paid in full except when the Department of Education regulations and/or state laws provide other guidance.
If a prior student’s student account balance is not paid or a payment plan has not been established within 90 days of exiting the College, the student’s account will be sent to a third-party collection agency. Collection fees will be added to the remaining balance, as per the Student Payment Agreement. Once sent to collections, students will need to make payment arrangements with the collection company.
Unpaid McElroy & Henkel Loans
A payment plan and amortization schedule establishing payment due dates, monthly payment amount, and monthly interest charges are provided during the loan process. Payments can be made via cash or check in our office or mailed to our office. Loan payments should not be made via Transact.
If payments become 90 days past due, the loan account will be sent to a third-party collection agency. Collection fees will be added to the remaining balance, as per the Student Payment Agreement. Once sent to collections, students will need to make payment arrangements with the collection company.
The College reserves the right to withhold diplomas until all balances are paid in full. Official transcripts will be released when all balances are paid in full except when the Department of Education regulations and/or state laws provide other guidance.
