Payment Options


WSU accepts a variety of payment options for tuition and fees.

When financial aid is disbursed, these funds are automatically applied to your student account. Any financial aid overage will be direct deposited to the bank account requested by the student.

If you have a balance remaining after financial aid, you can choose one of these methods to make a payment.

Students may enroll in the NelNet Payment Plan. This plan allows you to pay your term bill in up to five automatic ACH or credit/debit card monthly installments depending on when you enroll in the plan.

Here's how it works:

  • Payments are processed the 5th of each month. The total number of payment installments depends on when you enroll in the plan.
  • Cost to participate is a $40 enrollment fee per term. If you choose to pay with a credit card, there is an additional service fee.
  • Returned payments will incur an additional $30
