Fees
Textbooks
Many courses have required textbooks. Students typically order textbooks online from WSU’s bookstore, The Bookie.
Media Rental Fees
Many courses have required media or other course materials (e.g., Media Online, DVDs, CDs). Media provided by WSU will be charged to students’ accounts to be paid with tuition. Some courses may require students to obtain certain titles by renting them from a local outlet.
Lab Kit Fees
Some courses have lab kits that will be automatically sent to you when you register for a course. Do not return opened lab kits.
The fees for media and lab kits are listed in the WSU Online course descriptions and are charged to students’ accounts to be paid with WSU tuition.
Proctoring Fees
Some courses may require you to take proctored exams, which are exams taken under the supervision of an acceptable proctor. Students will pay $5 per ProctorU session for exams hosted in Canvas. There are a small number of exams hosted in third-party platforms, and the fee for those will be $10 per ProctorU session. On-site proctors may charge a fee to the student. When contacting an on-site proctor, students should ask about a fee. If a course has exams that require a proctor, it will be noted in the syllabus. Additional information about proctored exams.
WSU Writing Portfolio Fees
Global Campus students completing the WSU Writing Portfolio will be assessed $50.00 from the WSU Writing Programs for the costs associated with administering the portfolio.
