The Student Accounts Office offers the option of a payment plan to help offset initial costs of attending Western Dakota Tech. Payment plans consist of three monthly payments which must be made prior to midterm of each semester.

There is no additional cost to set up a payment plan. If you are interested in taking advantage of this option please contact the Student Accounts Office.

A Third Party Funding Agency is an outside agency/business that has agreed to pay a portion or all of a student's costs while attending Western Dakota Tech.

Examples of Third Party Funding Agency are VA Vocational Rehabilitation, any military funding, Vocational Rehabilitation, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and/or tribal funding.

It is the student's responsibility to provide their Third Party Funding Agency authorization to the Student Accounts Office prior to the beginning of each semester.
