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

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 itWGU BS:IT/SF In Progress... -
