Paying Tuition

It’s been a tough time recently as many people deal with stress and financial struggles. At Waubonsee, we don’t want your pursuit of a higher education to add to either of those. That’s why we’re providing resources that help remove financial barriers. 

In addition to our usual low tuition, interest-free payment plans, and available financial aid, we’re offering some expanded options and additional resources for the summer and fall 2021 semesters:

• Students who register early will get more time to pay (no payment arrangement due until May 31)
• Qualifying students (low-income, unemployed, housing insecure, etc.) may receive money they can use to help meet their greatest needs — spring, summer or fall 2021 tuition; food; housing; health care; or childcare — through our Reach Higher Scholarship (access through mywcc with X-number and password). 
• For those students with an unusual, unexpected or exceptional financial emergency who aren't eligible for the Reach Higher Scholarship, there is the Emergency Needs Scholarship Application (access through mywcc with X-number and password). 

Affordability starts with low tuition but extends to convenient payment options and help with understanding payment processes. Explore the options below, and choose the one that is best for you, based on:

• How much/how often you want to pay
  You can choose to pay in full and be done, or you can space smaller payments out over a longer period of time with an interest-free payment plan
   
• Who is paying
  If an employer or other organization/entity (financial aid, scholarship, etc.) is paying some or all of your tuition, be sure to check out the Verified Sources section 

Keep in mind that at least one of the following payment arrangements must be made within roughly 48 hours to hold your classes.
NOTE: If you register early for summer or fall 2021, you'll have until May 31 to arrange payment! And be sure to check our our special Reg Rally Payment Plans that require just $25 down!
