Student Accounts

Beginning with the Summer 2007 term, WVU-Potomac State College campus will no longer be sending out paper bills. This means that students will be responsible for checking their Mountaineer Information Express (MIX) e-mail account for date-sensitive emails regarding upcoming tuition and fee and/or room and board payment deadlines. Students will also be responsible for checking their student account status on STAR to obtain the correct amount that they owe and to make payments before all due dates if they wish to avoid late penalties.   

If a paper bill is necessary, students will have to request this invoice through STAR. Students will be required to select the paper bill option through STAR one time each semester that they are requesting a bill. If someone other than the student is paying for tuition and fees and/or room and board and need a paper bill, it will be the student's responsibility to request that bill for them, as needed. Students who do not opt for a paper bill will be expected to view their account information through STAR and make payments accordingly.

            Payment Plans

              The TuitionPay Plan from Sallie Mae
                   Potomac State College offers the TuitionPay Plan to help you avoid large
                   lump-sum payments. You can spread your PSC tuition and college housing
                   expenses over several months -- interest free. Paying monthly is a more
                   affordable option that makes education costs easier to manage.

                   With TuitonPay, you can enroll in a payment plan beginning May 1 and
                   spread your payments over 12, 11, 10, 9 or 8 months. The earlier you join, the
                   lower your monthly payments will be, because you'll be spreading your total 
                   amount due over a longer period of time. 

                   For more information or to enroll, visit www.tuitionpay.com/wvu or contact our
                   Office of Student Accounts at 304.788.6830.

                  60/40 Payment Plan
                  During Fall and Spring semesters, you may participate in Potomac State
                  College's 60/40 Payment Plan. 

                  Tuition and fees may be paid in two installments: 60% of account balance (after financial aid,
                  scholarship, and tuition waiver have been applied) is due prior to the first day of the term; the
                  remaining 40% is due by the end of the 6th week of the term. Students will need to manually
                  calculate this balance by viewing the "Account Detail By term/Make Payment" section on
                  STAR.

                   Failure to make minimun payment by the due date will result in a late
                   penalty being assessed. A second late fee will also be assessed for
                   accounts that do not meet the 40% deadline. Additional late fees will then
                   be assessed monthly on unpaid balances.
