Overview and FAQs

A payment plan is a short-term installment agreement that allows you to pay your educational charges in equal payments over the semester. All WSU payment plans are interest-free.

Payment plans include:

  • Current-term tuition and fees
  • On-campus housing charges
  • Current-term miscellaneous charges

Charges from previous terms are not eligible for inclusion in a payment plan.

WSU offers fall and spring payment plans consisting of up to four installments over the course of the term.

  • The first installment (down payment) is due at enrollment and ranges from 25% to 75% of the outstanding balance, depending on your enrollment date.
  • Remaining payments are automatically scheduled for the dates listed above.

Payments are automatically drafted from the bank account or credit card you select during enrollment.

  • Credit card payments are subject to a 2.95% processing fee applied to each payment.
  • Bank account (ACH) payments do not incur a processing fee.

Yes. The payment plan enrollment fee is $50 per term. This fee is non-refundable.

If a scheduled payment is missed or returned for any reason, a 3% late fee may be assessed on the remaining plan balance.

Payment plan enrollment opens after financial aid begins disbursing for the term. This ensures your plan reflects anticipated aid before installment amounts are calculated.

If additional aid posts to your account or new charges are assessed after enrollment, your remaining payment amounts will automatically adjust.
