Graduate Student Fees and Payments

2013 Tuition

Graduate Resident and Non-Resident:
$509 per credit hour

Graduate TA & RA Tuition Waivers

Students who are on TA and RA appointments in the summer are responsible for paying the S&A fee and mandatory fees. There is no non-resident fee for graduate students for the Summer 2013 term. The S&A fee and mandatory fees are not included in Summer Session tuition waivers.

What does this mean to you?
  1. You need to register for your courses by May 6, 2013.
  2. If you are on a TA or RA appointment you need to pay the S&A fee portion of your tuition, $77 by May 24.
  3. If you are receiving financial aid it will be released by May 6, if your paperwork was turned in on time and complete, and you are registered for at least 3 credits before May 6.

Calculating Tuition

Graduate Tuition:
Number of credits multiplied by $509 + special fees (if any) = total graduate summer tuition

Example:
3 (credits) x $509 = $1,527

$1527 + rec fee + health & wellness fee = graduate summer tuition

Payment Responsibilities  

WSU does not mail billing statements for tuition and fees. Students access their account balance through zzusis, or by checking with Student Accounts, 342 French Administration Building. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of fee amounts and payment deadlines and to pay accordingly.

It is imperative that you communicate your account information in a timely manner with your parents or any other party who may be making payments on your behalf. They will not have access to your account as that is private information that WSU cannot share with anyone other than the student without written permission from the student. Contact Student Accounts for more information at (509) 335-9651.

Students can access their account balance online at zzusis, or by checking with Student Accounts at 342 French Administration Building.

Tuition charges are based on the status of the student.  Students admitted to the graduate school and classified as a class code six are charged graduate tuition as well as students with a code of 7G or any class code followed by a D.  All other students are charged undergraduate tuition.  Dollar amounts are listed for advisory purposes only and may change.

Fees

Special course fees are listed with the specific course information.  To find out if a course has special fees do a course search, click on the course prefix to get the full course information, and check the "Section Number" field to see if there is a special fee.

Late Payment

A $33 late payment fee is automatically charged to all accounts owing summer tuition for each missed deadline. Late payment fees will not exceed $99.

REMINDER: There are three tuition deadline dates. Tuition due dates are tied to the start date of your course; a late fee will be assessed if tuition is not paid by the nearest due date after your course begins.

Mailing Address

It is the student's responsibility to update their addresses for the summer before the end of spring semester so that they receive University correspondence on time. Summer Session correspondence is mailed to the permanent mailing address. Addresses can be updated on your zzusis portal as they change. Students continuing from spring semester who expect their local address will change for the summer should change their address at the web links above, or at Payroll Services, 236 French Administration Building. Residence Halls or Greek House addresses are not appropriate for summer.

Payment for 12-Week Courses and Internships

The tuition payment deadline for courses with an arranged date, e.g., independent study, internships, graduate thesis, etc., is Friday, May 24, 2013.
