TuitionPay Payment Plan Information

The TuitionPay Monthly Payment Plan is an interest-free alternative to paying your college expenses in one lump sum. With two plans available for the fall and spring terms, you can break up your college expenses into either five equal monthly payments for one term or ten equal monthly payments for both terms. TuitionPay is not available for the summer term. Included with your TuitionPay enrollment is Tuition Protection Coverage. This coverage pays the unpaid balance of the monthly plan should the person responsible for making the payments die. 

To enroll in the TuitionPay Plan, contact TuitionPay at (800) 635-0120 or visit www.tuitionpay.com/wcu on the web. TuitionPay

The deadline to enroll in the TuitionPay Plan for the Fall 2008 term is Friday, August 1, 2008.

Important Facts to Remember

• Payments to TuitionPay are disbursed to the University the following month after your payment is made to them. (example: A payment made June 1st is not received by the University until July 5th).
• Financial Aid or other financial assistance should be considered when figuring a budget with TuitionPay. If you receive enough financial assistance to cover your Student Account Balance, you may cancel your TuitionPay contract without penalty and are recommended to do so.
• Adjusting your TuitionPay budget can be done at any time. It is highly recommended that you review your budget after receiving your billing statement from the University for any type of adjustment needed. Generally, the initial TuitionPay budget is planned using estimated costs, so an adjustment based on actual costs may be needed.
• Please be advised that you will receive a billing statement from the University even if you have a payment plan with TuitionPay. Remember that when reviewing your student billing statement you will need to deduct from your outstanding balance any payments made to TuitionPay but not yet received and posted by WCU.
• If for any reason your TuitionPay payment plan contract for the current semester is cancelled, discontinued or terminated it is the responsibility of the student to inform the Student Accounts Office of an alternate selection of payment for the remainder of the term. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your registration for that term.

2008-2009 Estimated Budget Amounts

The following 2008-2009 estimated budget amounts may be used to calculate the amount of the contract with TuitionPay.  Please remember:  You may not make 10 payments on a single semester's charges.  If you set up a 10 month contract with a 5 month contract amount, you will only receive credit for half of the single semester charges.
