Installment Payment Plan

How it works

The fall academic period Installment Payment Plan will be available in Workday beginning July 1, 2025. If your student enrolls in the Installment Payment Plan after the fall balance due date of August 20, 2025, they may be subject to a 2 percent late fee each month past due.

The spring academic period Installment Payment Plan will be available December 1, 2025. If your student enrolls in the payment plan after the spring balance due date of January 20, 2026, they may be subject to a 2 percent late fee each month past due.

For the fall and spring academic periods, a payment plan consists of up to five monthly installments for the current academic period for any unpaid charges on a student account. The number of installments in the payment plan depends on when the student completes the payment plan enrollment process in Workday. If any of the academic period due dates shown above have passed when the student enrolls for the payment plan, the balance due on the student’s account will be divided by the remaining number of installments. Payment plan enrollment is only available when two or more installments remain. There is a $50 enrollment fee per academic period.

If charges are added to your student’s account after they’ve enrolled in a payment plan, Workday automatically recalculates the payment plan. Your student will receive a notification if their payment plan has been recalculated.

To Enroll

Incoming students will gain access to Workday in the spring after they set up their WashU Key. After signing in to Workday, students can find financial information on the Financials Hub on their homepage:

• Find account activity under “My Financials.”
• See all transactions on your account under “Transaction Summary.”
• View when charges are due under the “Due Now Details” tab.

Only students have access to sign up for the Installment Payment Plan; an authorized third party may make payments to the Installment Payment Plan once the student has signed up. Payments made by a third party (parent, guardian, etc.) should be made using the Third-Party Login to access online payment options. Students will first need to add authorized users as a third party on their student account to grant access to make a payment, view account activity, and view student statement.
