4. DATA PRIVACY
   1. I understand that Webster University follows applicable privacy and information security laws and regulations, and that my data is subject to Webster University's Student Privacy Notice.

At Webster Vienna Private University, the tuition fee may be paid upfront via bank transfer or online payments, via a WVPU installment payment model (application required), or with an interest-free payment plan through our partner StepEx (EU/EEA/UK citizens; application required). Please note that the selected Payment Model may not be changed during the semester.

Changes of credit hours and related tuition fees will be adjusted after the add/drop/withdrawal period and at the end of the semester. Refunds will be credited to the students' accounts during the first week of the coming semester.

Upfront Payment

The tuition fee is payable on a semester basis by bank transfer or by online payments using Flywire. Scroll down to the "Payment Types" section for details. Students paying the full amount upfront can pay directly to our bank account (indicated below) without sending an application. If you register for courses after the first day of the semester, you will be automatically on the Full Payment Model, meaning that you may not pay in installments.

Webster Vienna Private University offers the possibility to split tuition fee payments in installments during the main semesters (excluding summer terms) according to the payment models described below.

Students who want to split the payment need to apply for one of the installment payment models by emailing finance.students@webster.ac.at. Students who applied for a payment plan will receive via email a personalized payment plan with the payment deadlines and amounts. Please apply for the payment plan as soon as possible, ideally right after you register for courses.
