Payment Plans

Announcement:  We've made changes and enhancements to the 2024-2025 Payment Plans.  Please visit What's New page for a summary of significant changes.  Please see the tables below for the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 payment plans. 

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students and their financial authorized users can enroll and manage their payment plans through SIS on the CWRUpay tile, located in the Finances section. Click on the Payment Plans tab to view eligible payment plan offers.  

Please contact studentaccounts@case.edu to request the amount changed for your remaining Payment Plan payments at least 5 business days before your next scheduled payment.  If you have more than 2 schedule payments remaining, please indicate in your request if you want to re-balance (spread out) the difference in the remaining scheduled payments.

At this time, only one payment plan can be enrolled per student. However, we are reviewing this option for future consideration. 

There is a $25 nonrefundable enrollment (set-up) fee charged at the time of enrollment, payable to Flywire.  The enrollment (set-up) fee will not be posted to the student account. 

Please note that a non-refundable service fee of 2.7% will be charged when utilizing a debit/credit card. Checking and savings account withdrawals do not have a service fee.

It depends on which semester plan you or your financial authorized user was enrolled in.  If you had paid an enrollment (sign-up) fee for the semester plan and your plan was cancelled due to failed payment(s) or at your request, please send an email request to studentaccounts@case.edu to request that your terminated plan for the semester be re-activated.  You will be required to catch-up on missed payments, that is make a payment, before re-activation.  Your request must be made and missed payments must be paid at least five (5) business days prior to the next scheduled payment on the payment plan.  If your enrollment (sign-up) fee failed to process initially, then you will be required to pay the enrollment (sign-up) fee. 

Yes. When making a payment while on a payment plan, you will be given the option of paying towards your current student account balance or towards your next payment plan installment.

After logging into SIS and navigating to CWRUpay, select the Payment Plans tab, and then click Manage Autopay. This must be done by the same account (either the student or authorized user) who initially enrolled in the payment plan. Otherwise, the Manage Autopay button will not be available. 

If you are enrolled in a payment plan, you will not be charged a late fee. For late enrollment (that is, after the due date), you may be charged a late fee and the late fee will not be waived.  Please plan your enrollment in a payment plan accordingly.
