Payment Process
In the next few weeks we will be emailing you specific information from Jon Anderson, Willamette University Assistant Controller about the payment process, etc.

In the meantime, here are the basics: While attending Willamette University, you will be billed each semester for tuition, fees and other incurred charges. You will receive your billing electronically through Willamette University's electronic billing website, known as QuikPAY. When the billing is posted, you will receive an email notification. Payments can be made either online at QuikPAY (which you will learn about soon), through a check via the mail, or by wire transfer. Payment for Fall Semester 2009 is due on August 19, 2009. Payment for Spring Semester 2010 is due on January 18, 2010.


Monthly Payment Plan Available

Willamette offers a deferred payment program through a third party company known as Tuition Management Systems (TMS). This interest-free payment plan offers students a program through which educational expenses for the year can be spread out over 8, 10 or 12 months.  This monthly payment plan option has a $65 application fee for the year.  Under this plan you divide your net expenses for the entire year by 8, 10 or 12 to determine your monthly payment.  Please call TMS at 1-800-356-8329 or visit their website at www.afford.com

Assistance with setting up your payment plan is available at the Willamette University Student Accounts Office. You may visit the office on the first floor of Waller Hall or contact them by telephone at (503) 370-6120 or (800) 338-9316. You may also email Kirk Rutledge, Student Accounts Coordinator, at krutledg@willamette.edu if you have any questions about the payment of tuition and fees.

Health Insurance
All Willamette Early Career MBA and MBA for Career Change students who are enrolled for six or more credits of course work are required to carry health insurance. Willamette University automatically places U.S. students on a third party health insurance carrier policy and automatically places International students on a health insurance policy for international students.

U.S. Students: Student health insurance for U.S. students is billed at the beginning of the year and will appear on your first statement for tuition and fees. Student health insurance for international students is paid at the beginning of fall semester and spring semester. If you have coverage under another plan, you may be able to waive Willamette's student insurance plan. The plan must be waived prior to September 20, 2009.
