Payment Information

Wilmington University and other institutions of higher education are required by federal debt collection and consumer protection laws to be transparent with financial policies, procedures, and requirements. To review our detailed financial policies, procedures, and requirements, please review the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement (SFRA).

Payment Arrangements

Pay in Full

You may pay your full student account balance on or before the deadline date for the semester.

Full payment includes tuition and any fees, including:

• Registration ($30.00)
• All lab or course fees (varies according to which courses registered. See Laboratory and Course Fees for more information).

Select a University Payment Plan

The University offers a payment plan to assist you in budgeting for each semester's tuition and fees. Each semester you wish to use the payment plan, you may enroll via the myWilmU student portal. Please see Payment Plans for payment plan due dates and more information about the University's payment plans.

Submit a Third-Party Billing Authorization Letter

If your employer pays Wilmington University directly for all or part of your tuition and fees, you must submit a Third-Party Billing Authorization letter from your employer for each term you enroll. See Third Party Billing for more information and instructions. Students funded through Guild do not need to submit the authorization letter. To verify your third-party coverage, or to make a payment, visit the myWilmU Payment Center. You may also confirm coverage by referring to the memo portion of your account. If coverage is noted in the memo portion, no further action is needed.

About Financial Aid

If you have completed your application for financial aid and accepted your award for the academic year, your authorized aid will be reflected on your student account balance, reducing the amount you owe accordingly. If your financial aid award is less than your total tuition and fees, or account balance, you are still obligated for the remaining balance, and must still choose one of the financial commitment options listed above (1-3). To verify your financial aid, or to make a payment, kindly click on the MyWilmU Payment Center. You may also confirm coverage by referring to the memo portion of your account. If coverage is noted in the memo portion, no further action is needed.

About G.I. Bill, Veterans Affairs, or Other Funding Sources

If you are receiving benefits for your current or completed military service through Veterans Affairs or are receiving funds paid directly to Wilmington University from other organizations or funding sources that cover your entire tuition and fees for any term, your benefits or funds must be confirmed. If these funding sources do not cover your entire tuition and fees, or account balance, you are still obligated for the remaining balance, and must still choose one of the financial commitment options listed above (1-4).
