Long-Term Debt Service

What Is Debt Service?

Debt service refers to loan payments for capital projects such as facility construction, renovation, or repair. These projects support the mission of S&A Fees by providing spaces for student activities and programs. 

Why Is It Part of the S&A Fee?

The debt service fees current students pay were adopted by previous students through referendum. 

While WSU capital projects were under review, campus committees and advisory boards were given fiscal information about the projects, including statements related to debt service. By approving the projects, WSU students committed to future payments for the duration of the loans, and WSU has a legal and financial responsibility to maintain these payments.
