Payment Options and Due Dates

At the beginning of each term you must choose a payment option. If no option is chosen by the last day of the term Add/Drop period, you will be assigned to the Simple Payment Option.

  • Students with a history of delinquent accounts must use the Simple Payment Option and are not eligible for the Two or Three Payment Options. 
  • The Two and Three Payment Options can only be used for tuition & room/board charges less any financial aid.
  • To select the Two or Three Payments Options, navigate to the Finances page in WaveNet (https://wavenet.pepperdine.edu), locate and click the Payment Plan link, and select the Payment Option on the pop-up.
  • The Payment Options will open for students to request two weeks before the start of each term, and will close at 3pm on the last business day of the term Add/Drop period. Once requested, the Student Accounts Office will set-up the Payment Option within 1-2 business days of the request.
  • Students in the fully Online Psychology programs are only eligible for the Simple-Payment or Two-Payment Option due to the length of the terms. Online Psychology students who wish to request the Two-Payment Option will need to submit their request to GSEPSA@pepperdine.edu using their Pepperdine email address.
  • Changes to or cancellation of a requested Payment Option must be submitted to GSEPSA@pepperdine.edu using the Pepperdine email address before the last business day of the term Add/Drop period.
