Residential Students
Residential students can enroll in a four-, five- or six-month Wildcat Pay Plan per semester. (These plans charge a $50 fee to enroll, and some require a 5-10% down payment at the time of enrollment).
Electronic bills (eBills) are available within the first week of the month. If you are an authorized user, please visit the Authorized User Portal. Students will receive an email notification in their ACU email account stating that their eBill is available in the Wildcat Pay Portal. All charges are due according to the terms on the eBill. Official notification regarding the eBill and other university business is sent to the ACU student email account. Students are responsible for this information and any action that may be required by receiving this information.
To reach financial settlement each semester, students must either: pay the net balance in full, enroll in a Wildcat Pay Plan for the entire net balance or have an approved loan in place to cover the balance.

1098-T Tax Form
1098-T tax forms will be available to students via their Wildcat Pay Portal. They may also receive them via postal mail. Students can change their preferences for receiving this form in their Wildcat Pay Portal.
All 1098-T tax forms will be made available to students no later than January 31 each year. Note: Not all students receive a 1098-T. If you did not receive one and were expecting to, please visit the 1098-T webpage or contact Wildcat Central.
Credit Refunds
If your student account has a credit balance, ACU will automatically refund the credit via direct deposit only to ACH payment methods saved as your eRefund account within the Wildcat Pay Portal. Prior to the 12th day of class each semester, ACU will begin a weekly process to automatically refund credit balances. Since the refund process is automated, there is no need for students to request refunds.
Release of Information (FERPA)
The Family Education Right and Privacy Act (FERPA) generally prohibits the release of information from financial and educational records without the student’s consent except in a limited number of circumstances. For more information about FERPA, please visit the Office of the Registrar page.
If you have questions or problems, feel free to contact Wildcat Central at 888-588-6083.
Late Fees
Late fees will not be charged if payment is received in full by the stated eBill due date. Late fees equal to 1.242 percent will be charged on total unpaid balances. If you are enrolled in a Wildcat Pay Plan and are current on all scheduled installments, late fees will not be charged.
