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 ($25) non-refundable participation fee per semester. 

Enrollment dates for participation in the fall 2012 monthly payment plan are:

May 1, 2012 through July 9, 2012

The final payment due date for those enrolled in the plan for fall 2012 is November 6, 2012.

A Payment Plan is NOT available for summer sessions.   

  • Students previously enrolled in the payment plan who selected ALL TERMS, are automatically included in the four (4) month payment plan for ALL subsequent semesters provided they're enrolled in classes prior to the publication of the first E-Bill for each term (2nd Wednesday in July for fall; 2nd Wednesday in December for spring).  
  • 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 (via my.butler.edu account) 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.

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 2012:  May 1, 2012 through July 9, 2012

A student user ID and password are required. Hard copy enrollment forms are not available.  There is a non-refundable fee of $25.00 per semester to participate in the 4 month plan. 

For participants enrolled in the 4 month plan for fall, the first E-Bill will be published July 11, 2012, which indicates the amount of the first payment plan payment.  The amount is due August 2, 2012.  E-Bills are published the 2nd Wednesday of every month and subsequent payments are due September 6th, October 4th and November 6th.  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. 

Please note:  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 (including 529 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.  Please keep in mind:

  • Pre-payments and financial aid funds are deducted from the total balance due and will reduce future payment plan amounts. 
  • If 529 plan payments are utilized, "pending payments' are NOT considered actual payments.  To be considered a payment for the payment plan, 529 plan payments must be received by the Office of Student Accounts by the due date on the E-Bill and the total AMOUNT DUE NOW must be received in full.    
  • 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.
