WestConn’s Payment Plan : Full-Time Students

Students may defer half their bill by applying to WestConn’s Payment Plan made available by the Financial Aid Office, Midtown campus, Old Main 105. If eligible, you may elect to participate in the payment plan by paying half of the balance due plus a $35 payment plan enrollment fee by the due date. The remaining balance is due in two equal payments. For the fall semester, the first payment is due September 15th and the final payment is due October 15th. For the spring semester, the first payment is due February 1st and the final payment is due March 1st. A complete application and payment must be received by the due date to be eligible to participate in the payment plan and to avoid late payment fees.

If you pay less than the “Payment Plan Due” or if your payment is not received by the scheduled due dates, a Financial Hold will be placed on your account prohibiting you from adding or dropping courses, registering, receiving your grades and securing copies of your transcript. A $50 late payment fee will be charged to your account, your WestConn Payment Plan will be cancelled, and you will be billed for the entire account balance on the next month’s statement.

WestConn’s Payment Plan: Part-Time Students

Students registered for less than 12 credit hours may, if eligible, elect to participate in the WestConn’s Part-Time Payment Plan made available at the Cashier’s Office, Midtown Campus, Old Main 106.
