Monthly Payment Plan
Payment Plan Enrollment & Management
Wesleyan's Monthly Payment Plan provides parents and students the option to pay tuition & fee expenses monthly. It is designed to relieve the pressure of lump-sum payments by allowing families to spread payments over a period of months without incurring any interest charges. Enrollment is on a per term basis. The fall term plan opens July 1 and the spring term plan opens January 1. The cost to sign-up is $45 per term.
Depending on the date you enroll, you may be eligible for up to five installments for the fall and spring terms. Payment Plan installments will be automatically deducted on the 15th of each month from the bank account you specify when enrolling in the plan. Since you can enroll in a Payment Plan before the term charges (tuition and fees, food and housing, health insurance) are assessed, you may need to estimate your Payment Plan balance in the initial months.

Wesleyan University does not accept credit cards payments for undergraduate tuition & fees.

How to Enroll Into a Payment Plan
To enroll into a Payment Plan, log into your Student Account and select the Payment Plans tab. You will see the Payment Plan options available to you. The earlier you enroll in a plan, the more installments you can have. The fall term plan opens July 1 and the spring term plan opens January 1. Your installment schedule will update dynamically based on your plan balance. The plan balance initially defaults to your Balance Due. Since you can enroll in a Payment Plan before the term charges (tuition and fees, food and housing, health insurance) are assessed, you may need to estimate your Payment Plan balance in the initial months.

Log into your Student Account any time to see the status of your plan.
Autopay Reminders & Processed Installments
Five days before your scheduled autopay installment a reminder email is sent letting you know your autopayment will be processed on the 15th. Please make sure you have enough funds available in your bank account to cover the upcoming payment.
On the 15th a monthly automatic installment is processed by autopay from your checking/savings account. You will be notified by email when the payment has been processed.
Failed Payments & Payment Plan Termination
You will receive notification before any Payment Plan installment is processed to give you an opportunity to make sure sufficient funds are available for the upcoming installment. If a scheduled monthly installment payment fails (i.e., the ACH payment is returned due to insufficient funds in your checking or savings account), you will be notified by email. For every failed ACH payment, you will be charged a penalty fee of $30.00.
We will reattempt to collect a failed installment payment five business days after the failed payment transaction is posted to your student account. If the reattempted collection also fails, the failed payment will be added to your next scheduled monthly installment payment.
The failure of two scheduled payments will result in automatic termination of the Payment Plan. The resulting unpaid balance on your student account will immediately become due and account holds and late fees will apply as per university policy.
Payment Plan Ownership
Students and/or the student’s Authorized Users can enroll in a Payment Plan. If the student enrolls, the student is the owner of the plan; if an Authorized User enrolls, that individual is the owner of the plan. Only the owner of the plan can change the payment method. Both the student and all of the student’s Authorized Users will receive Payment Plan notifications by email.
