General Information

West Virginia University offers a new 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:

MORE TIME TO PAY. The earlier you sign up, the more time you will have to pay and the smaller your monthly payments will be.

NO INTEREST RATE. The payment plan only charges a $35 fee at enrollment in addition to the first payment.

CONVENIENCE. 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.

What’s New

As of fall 2023, there are a few things to keep in mind as you enroll in a payment plan:

Are There Deadlines to Sign Up?

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. The first billing notifications to include fall charges begin in early July, the first to include spring charges begin in early December, and the first to include summer charges begin in early April.

Please note that you must enroll in a payment plan before the payment due date listed on the billing notification to avoid late payment fees. After the initial payment, each installment will be due on the first day of each month based on the terms of your payment plan.

Fall 2023

The deadline for the 5-month and 4-month plan options for Fall 2023 passed on July 23 and August 23, 2023, respectively.

Your first payment plan installment payment (plus a $35 enrollment fee) is due when you sign up, and the next payment will be due the first of the following month. Please be aware that the closer to the enrollment deadline you sign up, the closer together your initial payment and next installment payments will fall.
