Tuition Installment Plan The Tuition Installment Plan (TIP) enables students or their families to pay interest-free monthly installments on their account toward their tuition, fees, room and board expenses. Enrollment is quick, easy and affordable for students and families. Many students and families find monthly installments more manageable than one lump payment each semester. The installment plan is not a loan. Therefore, there are no credit checks. It is available for the fall and spring semesters and for the summer session. This payment plan is not available for the winter session. You can schedule automatic monthly payments right from your personal checking or savings account. Students need to enroll each semester for the payment plan. There is a small enrollment fee of $25 each semester. Late payments may result in additional fees of $50 per month. Students: The TIP plan will be available on November 13, 2024 for the Spring 2025 semester. You must be registered and have charges on your account to enroll in the TIP plan. You can enroll directly on-line via WPConnect. Once you log in, click on the student tab from the top menu bar, navigate to the Billing and Payments section and select "Enroll in a Payment Plan". Students who are enrolled in the WP On-line programs are required to pay in full by the payment due date and are restricted from enrolling in TIP. Authorized Users: The student can authorize a parent or third party to view their billing statement, enroll in TIP and pay bills on-line by going to the Bill+Payment Student Account Center. The student must click "Authorized User" to set up a parent or third party for access.

If you plan to enroll in TIP, you must enroll on or before your payment due date to secure your class schedule. Once you enroll in TIP, you can disregard the payment due date that appears on your billing statement since your payments will be made monthly. During the fall and spring semesters, please be aware that if you enroll in TIP at the "end" of the month, you will be required to make the first payment at the time of enrollment. Your 2nd payment will then be due on the "1st" of the month. (For example, if you enroll in TIP on 12/27/24 and make your first payment at the time enrollment, your next payment will be due on 1/1/25.
