Special Tuition Payment Plans

The Student Accounts Office (801 22nd Street, NW; 202-994-7350) offers deferred payment plans for tuition costs. If you register for six credit hours or more per semester, you may pay one-half of your bill at registration and pay the second half by the eighth week of class. Interest on the unpaid balance is charged at 12% annually and accrues beginning the first day of class.

The University also offers a 10-month payment plan that allows you to pay the full year's tuition in 10 monthly installments. There is no set-up fee or interest charged as long as monthly payments are made on-time. Please contact Student Accounts at sao@gwu.edu for more information.
