About Billing
Tuition rates are approved by the Board of Governors of Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) each summer for the upcoming academic year. After tuition rates are approved, bills will become available for students to view via RamPortal and pay via WCU Bill + Payment TouchNet (TouchNet is WCU's online system for managing and paying tuition payments).
Students receive an email (sent to their WCU email account) when bills/new charges are available. Students MUST check their WCU email regularly! Students are required to monitor their account regularly for additional charges.
Students are expected to pay their tuition by the due date to avoid cancellation of their schedules and late payment fees. Financial holds are placed on student accounts with any unpaid balance.
