Activities, athletics fees to be returned following canceled events
In its ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic the baby直播 is offering more relief to students by returning a portion of student fees from the fall semester. baby直播 will be reimbursed up to $300 for previously paid student activity and student athletic fees.
Made possible by COVID-19 relief funds UWA received through the CARES Act, the reimbursement will be provided to students who were assessed the fees at the beginning of the fall semester. The amount reimbursed is directly reflective of the amount paid by the student, depending on full- or part-time status.
鈥淭he continued impact of COVID-19 on events and programs has resulted in fewer activities for students on campus during this semester than we typically enjoy,鈥� said Jason Gardner, director of student activities. 鈥淥ur student engagement team worked very hard to adapt activities and programming to give students an entertaining but safe experience this fall, but like every campus in the nation, we had so much more we wanted to be able to do.鈥�
Changes in athletic schedules and cancellations resulted in no Division II home athletic events to attend on campus in the fall. A portion of the student athletic fee provides students free admission to these.
鈥淲e wanted nothing more than to be able to provide our student athletes the opportunity to compete, and for their classmates and families to cheer for them from the stands, but regulations simply made that impossible,鈥� said UWA Athletic Director Bobby Wallace. 鈥淔ollowing health and safety guidelines has allowed us to maintain some semblance of the off-field and off-court portion of our programs, but the overall absence of varsity competition on our campus has really been tough.鈥�
baby直播 received email notification of UWA鈥檚 intent to return these fees. baby直播 with balances paid in full will receive the reimbursement by direct deposit if previously set up, or by mail to their local mailing address if the student has not previously signed up for direct deposits. baby直播 who have unpaid account balances will receive the reimbursement as a credit on their accounts.
