Wells College, recognizing that most parents finance at least a portion of their child's college education out of current earnings and that the traditional two-installment method does not meet the needs of all parents, offers a monthly payment plan. Under the payment plan, parents and students can pay the semester's tuition and room and board charges in four equal payments for a charge of $50 per semester. For the first semester, payments are due in August, September, October, and November, while for the second semester, payments are due in January, February, March, and April.
