Educational expenses can be easier to manage when spread over predictable monthly payments. The university offers payment plans ranging from one (1) month to four (4) months to assist students and families. Students and their financial authorized users can enroll and manage their payment plan through SIS on the CWRUpay tile.
Scheduled monthly payments are not shown in the Account Balance until the payment is successful and posted to the student's account. No penalties, such as late fee, will be assessed as long as the payment plan is current.
The payment plans do not auto-balance.
Students and their financial authorized users can change payment method (bank account) before each scheduled payment. Requests to cancel enrollment and/or change the monthly withdrawal amount must be submitted by the payer at least 5 business days before the next scheduled payment. All other requests (change withdrawal date or change payment plan) will not be permitted unless there is extenuating circumstances. All requests must be submitted by email to studentaccounts@case.edu.
Payment Plan Amounts
A student or their financial authorized user may enroll in a payment plan with estimated amounts. An adjustment (increase or decrease) to the payment plan amount can be made after receiving aid or for activities not included in the estimated payment plan amount. The request to adjust the monthly withdrawal amounts can be submitted by email to studentaccounts@case.edu and must be submitted at least 5 business days before the next scheduled payment. The university may reduce the final monthly payment, as appropriate, to avoid overpayment. The student or their financial authorized user will be notified of the reduction.
