There
are four methods that students and their families
may use to pay the university. These methods
are:
1. Make
direct payment to the university by check, cash,
or money order.
2. Students
may be eligible for enough financial aid to cover
the entire balance.
3. Students
and families may participate in a payment plan
(details below).
4. Students
and families may make payment with a credit card
(details below).
How Financial Aid will be applied to my account
The
WCU Controller's Office produces bills for registered
students during early July. If a student has
been awarded financial aid, all awards accepted by
the student, except for Work-Study, will be considered
as a source of funds that will cover the balance. The
bill will list all university charges and estimated
credits (expected financial aid) and only ask the
student to pay any balance not covered by the estimated
aid. The fee bill, and any money due after
financial aid awards have been considered, must be
returned to the Controller's Office by the payment
deadline indicated on the bill to avoid having classes
cancelled.
Payment Plans
WCU
has two additional options for students, and families,
who are not participating in financial aid programs
but need some assistance in paying school charges.
1. The
university has an arrangement with Tuiton Pay that allows
families to pay for university charges in 10 monthly
installments. The only added cost is a $55 enrollment
fee. The first monthly installment is made in
July, preceding the start of school in August.
For more information,
check out http://www.TuitionPay.com.
2. University
charges can also be paid online via electronic check
or by using the following credit cards: Mastercard,
American Express, and Discover). Students with access
to MYCAT
may take advantage of this payment method by logging
on MYCAT.
You
may receive details about this option by contacting
the Controller's Office at (828) 227-7334
