WSU Payment Plans FAQ

Wayne State University allows currently enrolled students opportunity to extend their semester balance throughout the term in 2, 3 or 4 month installments.  Students who have satisfied all prior term outstanding balances are eligible to enroll in our payment plans. 

Semester Payment Plans will generally be available prior to the first eBill being generated for that term.  Please refer to wayne.edu/bursar/payment/installment-plans for information on enrollment periods.

Only current semester balances are included in the plan. Prior semester balances must be paid in full to participate.

A nonrefundable enrollment fee of $40 must be paid at the time of enrollment.

Please review your payment plan in the Student Account Dashboard for installment dates and amounts.  You can also set up auto-payment for your payment plan for an easy and efficient payment process.

Students who enroll in a payment plan after holds assessed will regain eligibility for registration.  Your hold will be removed within 24 hours of your payment plan enrollment.  Students must remain current on their payment plan in order to prevent holds from reapplying to their account.

Payments made on your student account prior to enrolling or at the time of enrollment will be included in calculating monthly payments.

Any late disbursement of financial aid will be credited and spread out amongst your remaining due installments.  However, installment amounts will be locked effective 3 days before the installment due date.

Any adjustment to your semester charges will be applied and spread out amongst your remaining due installments.  However, installment amounts will be locked effective 3 days before the installment due date.

When you enroll in the payment plan, you will receive via email a Truth-in-Lending document that includes a payment schedule.

Maintaining your payment plan is contingent on staying current on installment due dates.  If payment is not received by the due date, you are subject to being removed from the payment plan.  Removal from the payment plan after the semester due date would result in a registration hold being applied to your account, as well as being subject to monthly late fees. 

Returned check fee: A $35 fee is assessed when a check or online payment is returned by your bank for any reason.

Your payment plan will be cancelled if the $40 enrollment fee is returned by your financial institution.
