Payment Plans

Butler University offers a Monthly Payment Plan for the FALL and SPRING semesters which allows students the opportunity to make monthly payments during each semester. The plan includes a nominal non-refundable participation fee. 

Enrollment dates for participation in the fall 2011 monthly payment plan have expired. 

Enrollment dates for the spring 2012 term (4 monthly payments) have expired.  However, enrollment dates for the 3 payment Monthly Payment Plan are:

     December 15, 2011 through January 9, 2012 

Payment due dates for those enrolled in the 4 month plan for spring 2012 are January 5th, February 2nd, March 6th and April 5th, 2012.

Payment due dates for those enrolled in the 3 month plan for spring 2012 are February 2nd, March 6th and April 5th, 2012.  

  • Students previously enrolled in the payment plan who selected ALL TERMS, are automatically included in the four month payment plan for ALL subsequent semesters.  
  • Students previously enrolled in the payment plan who did NOT choose ALL TERMS but want to continue in the monthly payment plan during subsequent semesters must enroll in the plan when enrollment dates become available.
  • The Office of Student Accounts doesn't remove payment plan participants with zero or credit balances from the plan.  If the payment plan is no longer needed, it is the student's responsibility to contact the office, in writing, requesting removal from the plan.  

  • Payment Plan participants will be charged the non-refundable payment plan fee each term regardless of the account balance.  Account balances of $100 or less will not be divided into monthly payments.

A Payment Plan is NOT available for summer sessions.

How the Monthly Payment Plan Works  

Students must enroll online by logging on to their my.butler.edu account during available enrollment dates:

Enrollment dates for fall 2011 participation have expired.

Enrollment dates for the spring 2012 term (4 monthly payments) have expired. However, enrollment dates for the 3 payment Monthly Payment Plan are:

     December 15, 2011 through January 9, 2012 

A student user ID and password are required. Hard copy enrollment forms are not available.  There is a non-refundable fee of $35.00 per semester to participate in the 3 month plan. 

Payment due dates as outlined above.  (The last payment for spring 2012 is due in full April 5, 2012.)   

For participants enrolled in the 4 month plan for fall, an E-Bill is published mid-July which indicates the amount of the first payment plan payment.  The amount is due within the first week of August.  Subsequent payments are due within the first week of September, October and November. For spring enrollment, the first payment due will be reflected on the December E-Bill and is due within the first week of January.  Subsequent payments are due within the first week of February, March and April.  (Note:  For those students enrolled in the 3 month plan, the first payment for fall is due in full by the September due date and the first payment for the spring term is due in full by the February due date.)    

The Office of Student Accounts publishes E-Bills the second Wednesday of every month.  Payment due dates are normally within the first six days of the month following the E-Bill. 

Students with any prior account balances due and/or a poor payment history are ineligible for plan participation.

Payment plan payments must be received in full by the due date indicated on the E-Bill to avoid late fees.  Financial aid funds (e.g. outside scholarships, loans, etc.) are NOT considered payment plan payments.  Pre-payments and financial aid funds are deducted from the total balance due and will reduce future payment plan amounts.

PLEASE NOTE:  The Office of Student Accounts does not remove payment plan participants with zero or credit balances from the payment plan.  Students must notify our office in writing to be removed from the plan.
