The special tuition rate for Wilkes University...
Graduate Education tuition is based on the State System of Higher Education (SSHE) scale. The 2007-08 tuition rate has been set at $345 per credit or $1035 for a three-credit course. Even though Wilkes University is not a state university, we do charge the SSHE tuition rate for Graduate Education courses. Note: In addition to tuition costs, most school districts hosting our off-campus courses charge an additional per course facilities-use fee which is added to your Wilkes' tuition invoice. Wilkes collects the fee and then reimburses the facilities-use money to the host site. Tuition Payment/Deferment Clarification
Normal Wilkes payment procedures require tuition payment along with your registration. The tuition payment section on the yellow registration form gives you the option to send payment with your registration or to authorize credit card payment by completing the appropriate payment section. Credit card payment is processed immediately if included on your registration form. Or, if you prefer to defer tuition payment until the conclusion of the course, a Graduate Education personal tuition deferment can be submitted each semester by checking the appropriate defer line near the bottom of your yellow registration form. With a personal deferment on file, tuition payment is due at the Wilkes Financial Management Office absolutely no later than thirty days after the end of a class. We recommend payment by August 1 for summer sessions, December 1 for fall courses and May 1 for spring. There is no separate defer form unless you wish to file a Pink Employer Reimbursement defer which requires an authorization signature verifying your school district's tuition payment to Wilkes (pink defer forms available at Financial Management, x4650, or x4658). Note: Selecting the personal tuition deferment on the registration form does not mean you can wait for your reimbursement check from your school district before paying Wilkes if you don't have it by Wilkes payment deadlines. If you have an unpaid, past-due balance Wilkes will place a Finance Hold on your account which will not allow processing of a course registration for the next semester and delays mailing of grades/official transcripts. The Financial Management Office is also prohibited from signing graduation clearance forms until all outstanding tuition balance is paid in full. |
