The above charges do not include the cost of
books, supplies, parking decal or other incidental
expenses the student may incur during the
course of the academic year.
Educational Costs 2012–2013
Tuition and fees for the 2012–2013 academic
year will be published in the Fall 2012 Schedule
of Classes. This schedule will be available in
March 2012.
Payment Terms
Students who register through the early
registration process for fall 2011 will be billed
in July 2011 for tuition, fees and room and
board charges. If not enrolled in the monthly
payment plan, Fall 2011 registered students
must pay in full later than Aug. 4, 2011. Failure
to do so may result in the cancellation of
classes. Students who register after their regular
registration time frame will be required to pay
all charges in full in order to receive grade or
transcript information. Students whose enrollment
in a course(s) is added after the term or
semester has ended must pay for the course(s)
BEFORE grade and/or transcript information
will be released from the University. Students
who have not enrolled in the monthly payment
plan and have not paid their charges in full by
the first day of each semester will be assessed a
monthly finance charge of 1.5% (18%APR).
The Office of Student Accounts implemented
an electronic billing format in summer 2009.
Please refer to the Office of Student Account
website at www.butler.edu/student-accounts
for additional information regarding electronic
billing.
Payment is accepted in the form of personal
check, ACH/electronic check and on-line
Credit Card. Payments made via Master Card,
Discover and American Express will be charged
a 2.75% convenience fee. ACH/electronic
check payments are not subject to a convenience
fee. Butler University offers a payment plan
that allows students and families to divide the
semester tuition, fees, room, board and miscellaneous
charges into manageable monthly
payments. The fee to participate in the plan
varies based on your choice of plan. Information
regarding the 2011–2012 payment plans is
available on the Office of Student Accounts
website. Establishing the payment plan will
prevent the standard finance charges (1.5%
per month) on current semester charges. Any
scheduled payment plan payment that is not
received by the plan due date will be assessed a
late fee of $40. Payment plans will be cancelled
when two payment plan payments are not
received or are received after the due date. Once
the payment plan is cancelled due to late payment,
the standard finance charge will accrue
against the total outstanding balance. Persons
with past due balance or poor payment histories
with the University may be denied participation
in the payment plan. Students with past due
balances may have classes cancelled. Students
who fail to attend class and/or pay their
tuition are not considered withdrawn from the
course(s). Withdrawals must be made through
the adviser or dean of the college in which the
student is enrolled. All past due balances must
be paid before a student will be permitted to
enroll for a new semester.
The University provides a tuition prepayment
plan, which guarantees a fixed tuition rate
for all pre-paid semesters. The prepaid tuition
rates are based on the first term in which the
student participates in the prepaid program.
This program applies only to students enrolled
on a full-time basis in an undergraduate degree
program or PharmD. The pre-payment plan
does not apply to graduate programs. Contact
the Office of Student Accounts for contract and
cost information.
Federal Student Permissions
Federal regulations require that Butler University
apply your Federal (Title IV) financial
aid funds first to “allowable charges,” which
are tuition, mandatory fees, room and board
charges contracted with Butler University. In
