Tuition for full-time students is an annual rate that is payable over 1, 2, 3, or 4 quarters per year depending on the academic schedule of the student. Any student enrolled, where the course load meets the full-time definition, will pay the full-time tuition rate. Students exceeding the maximum prescribed course load will pay overload charges. Students extending their program will be charged the annual tuition rate for their additional year of enrollment. Students extending their program by one quarter or less will be charged according to their enrollment status. Students completing their clinical rotations pay a fixed tuition rate each quarter. Students are not charged on a per credit basis, but pay a fixed tuition rate each quarter during the completion of their rotations based on the annual tuition of the program.
Students are encouraged to pay all tuition and fees via Midwestern's secure website at https://online.midwestern.edu. Options for online payment include electronic check payment, debit or credit card. MWU accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa.

Students who fail to pay balances owed as scheduled will have their account processed according to Midwestern University's Overdue Accounts Policy.
Payment plans that allow students to divide an unpaid balance into three equal payments over the course of a quarter. Policies regarding the payment plans:
Prepayment Plans
Students have the option to prepay the entire amount of tuition for their program at the tuition rate for the academic year for which tuition is paid. Prepayment of the entire program's tuition must be paid in full by the first day of matriculation.
A student may also choose to prepay tuition a year at a time in advance, for the full academic year, at the benefit of the current tuition rate. For example, a student matriculating in the 2020-2021 academic year in September 2020, who wishes to prepay the annual tuition amount, must make this prepayment by the first day of matriculation in September 2020. Another example is, if this same student does not choose to prepay at matriculation, but later decides to prepay year-three at the current year-two rate, this prepayment for year-three must be made by the first day of year-two classes. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Director of Finance.
All accepted International matriculates who are requesting an I-20 document in order to obtain an F-1 student visa OR who are not U.S. citizens/ permanent residents/ eligible non-citizens must prepay tuition, and in some cases other mandatory program fees for the first year of their educational program 45 days prior to the first day of the first quarter. Continuing international students must prepay tuition and, in some cases, other mandatory program fees for each successive academic year on the University's stated due date.
Credit Cards
The Office of Student Financial Services accepts credit cards for payment of tuition, fees, insurances, on-campus housing, and other direct costs; however, the following requirements must apply:
