Tuition Payment Plan

Payment Plan Perks

West Virginia University offers a payment plan through WVU MyAccount. The plan allows you to break up your semester’s tuition and fees into smaller, more manageable installments, rather than paying in full all at once. Some of the advantages of the payment plan are:

Convenient

Enroll and make payments online, 24 hours a day. You will also receive regular monthly email statements and have access to an option for automatic payments.

More Time to Pay

The earlier you sign up, the more time you will have to pay and the smaller your payments will be.

Zero Interest

The payment plan only charges a $35 fee at enrollment in addition to the first payment.

Plan Enrollment Deadlines

Student Payment Plan Sign Up
Authorized User Payment Plan Sign Up

Enrollment in a payment plan must begin before the payment due date listed on the billing notification sent via MIX email to avoid late payment fees. The payment plan opens when semester charges are available. The first payment plus a $35 enrollment fee is due when you sign up. 

Students who owe a balance are sent billing notifications to their MIX email each month, usually due at the start of the following month. Please be aware that the closer to the plan enrollment deadline you sign up, the closer together your down payment and next installment payments will fall.

  1. JULY 15, 2025

    Fall 2025: Last day to sign up for the 5-installment payment plan

  2. AUGUST 15, 2025

    Fall 2025: Last day to sign up for the 4-installment payment plan

  3. SEPTEMBER 15, 2025

    Fall 2025: Last day to sign up for the 3-installment payment plan

Fall 2025 Plan Options

If you were sent a July billing notification via MIX email with a due date of August 1, you must sign up for the payment plan by the August 1 due date to avoid late fees. After the initial payment, each installment will be due based on the terms of your payment plan. For instance, if you were sent an April billing notification with a due date of May 1, you must sign up for the payment plan by the May 1 due date to avoid late fees. After the initial payment, each installment will be due based on the terms of your payment plan.

Parents or guests who wish to manage a tuition payment plan on their student's behalf must be granted Authorized User access. For details, visit our WVU MyAccount Tutorials webpage.

Instructions and Tutorials


How Do I Sign Up?

Enrolling in the payment plan is fast and easy. You must make your first payment plus the enrollment fee when you sign up.  The payment plan can only be set up for the total balance owed in eligible charges.

  1. Log in to your WVU Portal using your WVUID username and password.
  2. Once logged in, click on the "PAY YOUR BILL HERE!" button.
  3. Click on the “Enroll in a Payment Plan” button under the View Account section.
  4. Select the appropriate semester from the "Select a term" dropdown box.
  5. Review your eligible charges and Payment Schedule. The enrollment fee and down payment must be paid in order to enroll in the plan. Once you have reviewed the information, you may click on the "select" button.
  6. On the following screen, you will select whether or not you want to setup automatic payments. While automatic payments are not required, please note that automatic payments may only be made via ACH transactions directly from a bank account.
  7. After you have made your selection, click the "Continue" button.
  8. Next, you must select a payment method for the first installment and the enrollment fee from the dropdown list labelled "Method."
  9. Input required payment information and review for accuracy. Once you have reviewed your information, you may finalize your payment by clicking on the "Continue" button.
  10. Lastly, please agree to the payment arrangement to complete your payment plan setup.

Once enrollment is complete, the payment plan will be reflected in your student account as a pending payment toward your semester charges.




Making a Payment Towards a Payment Plan

  • Payments for the Tuition Payment Plan must be made electronically directly through WVU MyAccount.
  • Partial payments towards installments must equal the full amount due (when combined) by the due date. The enrollment fee and down payment must be paid in full to establish the plan.
  • International payments made through TransferMate or Flywire cannot be utilized for the Tuition Payment Plan.
  • You cannot mail in payments for the Tuition Payment Plan, which would include no mailed checks, no 529s, and no college savings plans.
  • An Authorized User may create and manage a payment plan, but the student and any Authorized User(s) will all make payments toward the same plan.

Students and Authorized Users may make payments towards their payment plan using the following steps.

  1. Once you have logged into your WVU Portal and you have accessed your WVU MyAccount, click on the "Pay Next Installment" button in the Payment Plans section of your home page.
  2. Review all of the information on the Installment Payment screen and adjust the payment amount if needed.
  3. After you have reviewed the payment details, click the “Continue” button to proceed.
  4. Use the “Method” dropdown box to select the payment method you wish to use – credit or debit card, electronic check, or any previously saved payment methods on your account.
  5. Review the terms and conditions and make sure the checkbox next to “I agree...” is checked before clicking the “Continue” button.
  6. Click on the “Submit Payment” button to complete your payment.

Helpful Information

Past Due Balances

If you have a past due balance greater than $200, you will not be able to sign up for a monthly payment plan. You must pay off your past due balance and then enroll in a payment plan that covers current eligible charges. For example, you cannot use a fall semester payment plan to pay off past due summer charges.

Delinquency and Late Fees

Your payment plan will be canceled immediately if you miss any installment deadline. Once your payment plan is terminated, you will owe your outstanding balance in full to WVU and will be unable to re-enroll in a payment plan for the rest of the semester. A 2.85% late payment fee will also be assessed on your full balance owed and will be reassessed monthly until your balance is paid in full.

Rent

WVU-owned apartment rent, parking, and electric charges cannot be included in the payment plan. Rent will be charged to student accounts on a monthly basis, and you will need to pay those charges separately through WVU MyAccount (via your WVU Portal).

Changes in Balance Due

If you make an adjustment to your student account that results in a change to your charges — such as selecting a new meal plan, adding or dropping a course, etc. — your payment plan will automatically adjust to account for those changes. Any increase or decrease in what you owe will be distributed evenly across your remaining payments due.


Please note that changes that occur within 14 days of an upcoming monthly payment will not affect that payment. The increase or decrease in what you owe will be distributed over the payments that follow.
