Pay Tuition and Related Charges

Tuition Bills

Prior to the beginning of each semester, invoices listing all current semester charges and approved financial aid are available online to all registered students.

Student tuition bills are prepared by term and are due two weeks prior to the start of the semester. Paper bills are not mailed, however all billing statements can be accessed via the Wilkes student portal and a notification is sent to your Wilkes email. You will only receive notification via the mail if your account is past due.

Students who fail to pay all indebtedness to the University shall not be permitted to receive any degree, certificate or transcript of grades.

Subject to the regulations concerning refunds, the total tuition is considered fully earned by the University upon completion of registration by the student.

Financial Assistance

Several plans have been developed to assist students who do not have the cash in hand financial means to pay their respective bill all at once, and it is suggested that these plans be considered when special assistance is needed. Students may consult with the financial aid director (or at off-campus sites, with the financial aid representative) for information regarding scholarships and loan programs.
