Tuition Payment Policy

These policies and procedures apply to Webster University students enrolled at the St. Louis Campus. Some of the policies may also apply at the extended campuses. In some cases the policies have to be customized for each extended campus.

Updated: 9/8/02

For Webster students, acceptable payment arrangements for tuition must be made at the time of course registration. Payment options offered are:

Financial aid
Direct billing to a third party (i.e., employer or military)
Employer reimbursement
Deferred payment plan
Payment in full

The deferred payment option requires a deferred payment fee to be paid at time of registration made payable to Tuition Management System (TMS). The University reserves the right to refuse deferred payment privileges on any student whose account is overdue or has been overdue in the past. A nonrefundable graduation fee of $50 is required to be filed with any graduation petition.

Students are financially responsible for all courses not officially dropped by the deadline. Webster University reserves the right to withhold transcripts or diplomas related to enrollment, cancel enrollment for a current term, and/or refuse enrollment for future terms, if any tuition or other fees or charges owed to the University are not paid as and when due. In the event a student’s account is referred to any agency or attorney for collection, the student promises to pay, in addition to all amounts otherwise due to Webster University, the costs and expenses of such collection and/or representation, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (whether or not litigation is commenced), to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Each time a student registers for classes, a code will need to be entered into the Webster University computer system before registration can be processed. Note: If a student pays tuition using more than one method, all codes must be used when registering.

Follow the suggestions for each of these codes.
