Student Installment Payment Plan

The Student Installment Payment Plan (SIPP) is a way to spread your quarterly fees, including tuition, insurance, university housing, and other fees over three installments. Books, personal expenses and non-university housing are not included. A non-refundable application fee of $30 assessed each quarter for students using the plan and is paid with the first installment.

Installment payments can be made online through WINGS Express via WINGS with free e-check or with credit card (MasterCard, Discover, and American Express) which will include a 2.75% convenience fee. Check and money order payments can also be mailed or paid in person to the Office of the Bursar. Learn more about payment options accepted by the Office of the Bursar.

Students are encouraged to sign up for the Student Installment Payment Plan online via WINGS Express. A tutorial is available through the WINGS Resource Center, http://www.wright.edu/wrc which demonstrates how to enroll in the plan. Once you are at the WINGS Resource Center click the "Student" link on the left side of the page and scroll down to the "How do I…" section to view the tutorial.

Students can also enroll by completing the SIPP Application/Promissory Note (PDF) and returning the completed form along with the initial payment and application fee to the Office of the Bursar. Students must be current with their student account fees before they are eligible to enroll in the plan. All student interested in this option should pay close attention to the installment due dates listed on the installment payment plan contract.

Penalties for late payments include, but are not limited to, late fees for each payment and/or a "hold" being placed on your student account which will prevent registration changes and transcript availability. Read through the SIPP Frequently Asked Questions to find out more about the installment plan's terms and conditions.

• What if I am receiving Financial Aid?
  Students receiving financial aid are still eligible for the student installment payment plan. The total amount of financial aid that has been approved by the Office of Financial Aid is deducted before the amount of your payment is determined. The first installment cannot be paid by your financial aid.

  If the amount of quarterly financial aid exceeds the amount which is owed on your account, a refund will be mailed or electronically deposited as outlined on the financial aid award letter. For more information about financial aid, please visit the Financial Aid Web site.

• What if I drop a class or withdraw from school?
  If you drop or withdraw during the 100 percent or 70 percent refund periods, you may receive a refund. Students who drop or withdraw during the 70 percent refund period are responsible for 30 percent of the original amount due. The amount refunded will vary according to the original amount due. Refunds are based on the amount billed regardless of the methods chosen to pay the fees. If you withdraw after the 70 percent refund period ends, you must still make the second and third installments. Since no refund is due, your outstanding balance must be paid.

  If you receive federal financial aid, including loans, contact the Office of Financial Aid before you withdraw from classes. The Federal Refund Policy affects students receiving federal financial aid and withdrawing from classes. Withdrawal most likely will result in a balance being owed to Wright State University.

• What if I miss a payment or make a late payment?
  It is your responsibility to know when payments are due and to pay them on time. Electronic bills for the second and third installments are provided as a courtesy notice only and payments must still be received by the Office of the Bursar by the due dates even though an electronic bill may not have been received.

  If your second or third payment is not received by its due date, you will be assessed a $50 late fee for each payment. A HOLD will be placed on your account which will prevent adding or dropping classes and your ability to receive an official university transcript. (Your registration will not be cancelled nor will any classes be dropped.) If your check is returned from the bank, a $25 returned check fee will be assessed in addition to the $50 late fee. Late fees and penalties must be paid first before any payments will be applied to the outstanding balance.

• What happens if I default on my payments?
  The balance due on your student account will become payable at once and will prevent you from further participation in the plan. An administrative HOLD will remain on your account and the university may withhold all further services. Should you register in a subsequent quarter, you may be Administratively Withdrawn and any refund due to you will be applied to the outstanding balance of this plan. Delinquent balances will be reported to the credit bureau(s) and if you fail to repay the plan as agreed, legal action could be taken against you. In addition, you may be assessed and required to pay any costs incurred in the collection process of this plan including, but not limited to, late charges, collections, and litigation costs.
