Tuition Payment Options
Following are some of the tuition payment options available to you at Western International University (WIU). For more information about payment options and applying for financial aid, contact your Finance Counselor. Additional information is also available in the WIU Student Finance Options Guide.
Financial Aid Plan
Students may be eligible for various federal grants and loans. All students seeking federal financial aid benefits must be admitted to a financial aid eligible degree or certificate program. Students applying for grants only may not choose the Financial Aid Plan as a primary payment plan. In order to be eligible for tuition deferment under the Financial Aid Plan, at least 50% of a student’s annual tuition must be funded through federal financial aid benefits, and the student must complete the financial aid application process.
Students who do not qualify for enough financial aid to cover the full cost of tuition required to complete the academic year are required to pay the portion not covered prior to the first class meeting of the course or make other arrangements with the University.
Please note that continuous class attendance with no attendance breaks greater than 29 days is required by government regulation to retain disbursed federal financial aid funds. Students may be eligible to take a temporary leave of absence. For more information regarding the leave of absence process, please contact your Finance Counselor.
Additional information is also available in the WIU Consumer Information Guide.
Cash Payment Plan
Cash Payment Plan students are required to pay all tuition and fees prior to the first class meeting of each course. Students who have not paid tuition prior to the first class meeting may not be allowed to attend the course. Payment may be made using cash, check, or credit or debit card. Credit cards accepted include American Express, Discover Card, MasterCard, and Visa.
There will be a $25.00 returned check fee charged to the student’s account for a check returned for any reason.
There will be a $30.00 declined credit card fee charged to the student’s account for each declined credit card transaction.
Tuition Reimbursement Plan
The Tuition Reimbursement Plan is available to students whose employers have an approved written reimbursement policy. Tuition will be deferred for 60 days from the course start date.
Students must submit a credit card with sufficient limit and an authorization to charge automatically to secure the deferment. Debit cards may not be used under the Tuition Reimbursement Plan. The student’s credit card will be charged 60 calendar days after the course start date.
A $30.00 declined credit card fee will be charged to the student’s account for each declined credit card transaction.
Third Party Billing Plan
The Third Party Billing Plan is available to students who request Western International University to directly bill approved employers, the military, or another agency for the cost of tuition. The University has several approved employers; each has its own specific requirements. Students may contact the Finance Office for further information.
Approved company tuition vouchers or letters of credit must be received by the Finance Office five days prior to the first class meeting of each course, if applicable. The student’s account may be placed on a financial hold should the appropriate documentation not be received prior to the course start date. Any portion of tuition or fees that are not paid under the billing agreement must be paid by the student prior to the first class meeting of each course.
This program does not relieve students of their financial obligation to the University. Students retain full responsibility for ensuring that all tuition and fees are paid in full and in a timely manner.
