A payment plan allows students to pay tuition in monthly installments.
A non-refundable enrollment fee of $30 is required, along with a down payment (25% or 50% depending on enrollment timing).
Monthly payments are due on the 5th of each month, with no interest or finance charges.
Important Notes:
- Students are responsible for the full amount of tuition unless they officially drop/withdraw within the refund period.
- Any financial aid received will apply to the remaining balance.
- Students must notify the Business Office of any course changes or additional charges.
- Non-payment could result in future classes being canceled or accounts sent to collections.

What Students Need to Know About the WSU Tech Payment Plan:

Students are responsible for the full amount of tuition, fees, materials and other charges on their account that are deferred unless they officially drop and/or withdraw within the refund period (see catalog, student handbook or the Web site).
Failure to attend classes or lack of attendance does not constitute an official drop. Students are still responsible for the full amount of tuition and fees.
Any financial aid (Pell grant, scholarships, student and/or parent loans, etc.) that is subsequently awarded will be applied toward any remaining deferred amount before students receive any financial aid proceeds.
Students must notify the business office of any added courses or pay for additional courses by the due date on the tuition statement.
A nonrefundable $30 per semester enrollment fee and a required down payment (25 or 50 percent, depending on when enrolled) is due at the time of application for the payment plan.
For any changes, students must contact WSU Tech’s business office.
Students may not be able to register for classes if there are any outstanding balances on their accounts. Accounts may be turned over to collections if not paid.
