WGU Question on Payments

Hi Everyone,

Quick question I can't find an answer to anywhere....

Does WGU accept monthly payments per term or am I required to pony up all $3000 per term up front?

For example, for a $3000 term, can I pay $500 per month while I am attending? There is no way that I will qualify for financial aid and paying $3000 up front isn't feasable for me either. Just wondering...

Thanks,

Corey

    I don't believe that you can make monthly payments, but you can pay half up front and half mid-term.

    You can break it up into 4 payments.

    I don't know about the exact details but I know I have seen links on the FinAid page that are there to help students "create a payment plan", which to me implies that you don't have to pay in full.

    Why not just give them a call and ask?

    Yeah you would think I could do that. :)

    Thought had just crossed my mind while I was at work and thought somebody on here might know.

    They recently changed the way the payment plan works. It used to be half + a fee up front, then the rest mid-way through the term.

    Now, you sign up for a payment plan that corresponds to when your term starts. Then you make the first payment, $758, + $55 fee for the payment plan. Then you make three more monthly $758 payments. That's for the normal tuition for most Bachelor's programs.

    Hope that helps. Just started that plan this week so I was familiar with it :)

    Breaking the payments into 4 makes it even more affordable.

    That's awesome.
