Billing policy
Published July 2015
Guarantees to pay tuition and fees are sent to WSU student accounts prior to first late fee deadline (approximately the 14th calendar day of the academic term).
Invoices (bills) will be sent through regular postal mail to the sponsoring agency. If the invoice must be sent outside the United States, an advance copy will be sent via fax if possible.
An administrative charge of USD300 per academic term will be assessed to the sponsoring agency. This fee will be included on the billing statement each academic term. Fee is subject to change.
Fall semester

Late payments
If payment has not been received from the sponsoring agency prior to the billing cycle of the following semester, the guarantee will be reversed. All tuition and fees will be placed back on the student’s account. The student will then be responsible to pay tuition and fees, including the International Programs administrative fee.
If this situation occurs, the student will be unable to register for the next semester until the reversed charges are paid in full (or other arrangements have been made with the WSU Collections Office). If payment from the sponsor is received after the guarantee has been reversed, all charges will once again be removed from the student’s account.
If a delay in payment is anticipated, please contact WSU International Programs.
