• What does the program fee cover? What additional costs will you incur? • Is your program choice is compatible with financial aid eligibility? • If you are counting on financial aid, do you know how much you will receive? • Are there scholarships or grants available to you? • Have you already applied for aid or scholarships? Students planning to study abroad are required to complete a Declaration of Intent to Study Abroad form, generated by the Office of International Programs. Students must meet with a member of the counseling staff in the Office of Financial Aid to review financial obligations, assistance and to have their declaration form signed by a financial aid counselor. Financial Matters Tuition, fees and other charges paid by students cover approximately 60 percent of the educational costs at Butler. The University provides the remaining funds through income from its endowment and gifts from foundations, business, industry, alumni and friends. Tuition and fee levels are set by the Butler University Board of Trustees and are subject to change by action of the board. For financial matters, the college year consists of two semesters and a summer school composed of two sessions. The academic year comprises the fall and spring semesters. The unit of instruction is the semester hour, which signifies one recitation a week throughout a semester or an equivalent. Students are billed a flat rate of tuition when registered between 12 and 20 credit hours. Students are billed a per credit hour rate when registered in 11 or fewer credit hours. Students enrolled in more than 20 hours are charged an additional per credit hour rate. Accept Financial Responsibility Butler University policy requires each student wishing to enroll in courses to complete the Accept Financial Responsibility process now included in the finance section of the student center. The Acceptance of Financial Responsibility statement outlines that each student is assuming responsibility for paying all University-related expenses. The statement also outlines the penalties that may be incurred by the student if the University-related expenses are not paid or paid in a timely manner Student Accounts Tuition, fees and room and board are due prior to the start of each semester or session, if a student is not enrolled in the monthly payment plan. Refund of tuition charges Students who withdraw from the University during a semester or summer session will receive refunds for tuition according to the tuition refund schedule available in the Office of Student Accounts. Fall 2009 and spring 2010 refund schedules are available at www.butler.edu/student-accounts/. Click on Refund Policy and then on Institutional Tuition Refund Schedule for Fall 2009 or Spring 2010. Refunds are computed from the date on which the requested change is received in the Office of Registration and Records, not from the date of the last class attended. Fees for orientation week and services used are not refundable. For residence hall and meal plan refunds, please contact the Office of Residence Life. Students who pay tuition, room and/or board charges through the monthly payment plan and who withdraw before the account is paid in full are not relieved from payment of the amount due but will receive credit according to the refund schedule. Notwithstanding the provisions of the University’s refund policies, if any disciplinary action results in the suspension or expulsion of a student, the University may refuse to refund, in whole or in part, such student’s tuition, fees and room and board charges. Tuition and Fees Students who register through the early registration process, the total amount due for tuition, fees and room and board is payable on or before Aug. 4, 2009, for the fall 2009 semester and Jan. 2009, for the spring 2009 semester, unless the student has enrolled in the Monthly Payment Plan. The student will be billed approximately one month before the beginning of the semester for these charges. Summer sessions are 43
illed in May, June and July. Students who register after the start of the semester are required to pay by the due date stated on the billing statement. However they will not have the option of participating in the monthly payment plan. Students are expected to follow the due dates published on their billing statements to avoid late fees. Please refer to the Schedule of Classes for the semester in which you are enrolling for the most accurate information regarding tuition and fees.
