Paying Tuition and Fees

Tuition payments are made through the Cashier’s Office, Welcome Center, R-163 and can be made to Western in one of two ways.

  • 1. Students may pay tuition in full within 14 calendar days of registering for classes, or before the first class meeting, whichever occurs first.
  • 2. Students may elect to pay tuition in two installments for credit classes by signing a Credit Agreement Form and paying a $50 non-refundable credit agreement reservation fee each semester within 14 calendar days of registering for classes, or before the first class meeting, whichever occurs first. For those students signing up for the credit agreement installment payment plan, the remaining balance is due as follows:
    • Fall and Spring Semesters: 50% of tuition is due on the 30th calendar day of the semester and the remaining 50% balance is due on the 60th calendar day of the semester.
    • Summer Semester: 50% of the tuition is due on the 15th calendar day of the semester and the remaining 50% balance is due on the 30th calendar day of the semester.
