Tuition & Financial Aid: Online Graduate Programs

Investing in your future in order to create future opportunities for yourself is wonderful, and WPI wants to make sure you have the financial resources necessary in order to do so.

Employer Tuition Assistance and Direct Payment

WPI accepts employer tuition assistance and direct payment/vouchers. You must contact your dedicated WPI team member before the start date of the course to make sure that your employer payment can be accepted by WPI.

It is your responsibility to submit any and all necessary paperwork (before the start date of the course) from your company that is related to this payment, so that payment is received by WPI. This ensures your student account balance stays in good standing.

It is also your responsibility to be informed and knowledgeable about your employer's tuition reimbursement policy. WPI is unable to answer questions regarding employer tuition reimbursement policies, but can assist with questions regarding the types of direct payment WPI accepts.

What is your student status?

Some payment methods are limited because of student statuses, so it is important to identify which one you are.

• Less than Half-Time: Less than four credits per semester

• Three-Fourths Time: Six credits per semester
