Student Accounts Receivable
Beginning Fall 2021, students are expected to be financially settled by the start of the first day of classes. This means they must have their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completed if they intend to file, and either need to have their account paid, or have a payment plan system established with Cashnet. Students who are not financially settled by the last day to add/drop classes (fifth day of the semester) may have their enrollment dropped for the semester. Students will be able to make payments on their student accounts in three, four, or five installments with all accounts paid off by the day before final exams begin.
Financial Aid
Students requesting financial aid need to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) prior to the start of the semester. The first payment will no longer include financial aid. Student payments will be the balance owed after financial aid has been awarded. Students who do not pay their account in full will need to sign up for a payment plan through Cashnet, a third party vendor with whom WBU is partnering. Students will be able to set up automatic payments with a bank account or a credit card.

A late fee will be assessed at the end of each month on all past due balances. Student accounts that have missed two consecutive payments will need to make arrangements to pay the balance in full by the next payment due date or they may be administratively withdrawn from classes.
