What Cycle Is My Account In?

Beginning in January 2007 WMU will have Four Billing Cycles instead of Two Billing Cylces.  To determine which cycle your account is in you will need to look at the first two digits of your account number and find that number in the table below.

Example: If your account number is 12-03456-00 then your account would be in the 1st Cycle.
