Payment Plan Options

 

The Western Connecticut State University realizes that managing the cost of education is a challenge for many families. To help you meet your educational expenses, WCSU has partnered with Touchnet to offer you a low cost payment option. The cost to enroll in the Touchnet online payment plan is $35 per semester and there are no interest or finance charges. It is easy to enroll in the plan each semester and once you set up your plan, payments are made automatically.
