Paying for the rising costs of a college education is a concern for nearly every student and family. Few people have the resources to simply write a check for the full cost of tuition each semester. Having a solid plan for covering the cost of college is an important step toward graduation. To help you meet your educational expenses, Western Piedmont proudly offers FACTS as a convenient budget plan.

This is not a loan program. You have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check. The cost to budget your monthly payment plan is a $25 per semester nonrefundable FACTS Enrollment Fee. The cost for full payments is a $2 per semester nonrefundable FACTS Enrollment Fee

You may budget your tuition and fees in the following ways:

A. Automatic Bank Payment (ACH): ACH payments are those payments you have authorized FACTS to process directly with your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at Western Piedmont. Payments may be made from either your checking or savings account. Payments are processed on the 5th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full.

B. Credit Card Option: Paying with a credit card allows you to take advantage of any bonus programs that may be offered by your credit card company. Your monthly payment will be automatically charged to the credit card you designate. Payments will be charged on the 5th of each month until the balance is paid in full.
