Financial Settlement Information

Financial settlement is the final step of registration that begins the month prior to the beginning of a new term. There are two steps: pay semester bill and confirm attendance.

• Pay Semester Bill: Semester bills are posted to the E-Bill site and an email notification is sent to the student's Baylor email address as well as the email of authorized parents/guardians. We strongly encourage students to enroll their parents in this system so they too can access all bills online and receive time sensitive reminders. Bills will also be mailed.

Pay the net balance in full or the minimum amount due online by electronic check or credit card; or mail payment to Cashier's Office. (Be sure to allow time for mail to be received.)

If full payment or the minimum amount due is not received by the due date shown on the semester bill, a late fee will be charged. The late fee is $50 until the first day of class for the semester. Beginning the first day of class, the late fee is $75.
Expecting financial aid? There are certain forms that must be completed in a timely manner for aid to apply to the account before the financial settlement deadline. Details of these processes and the dates are available at Financial Aid Calendar for Current Students. Otherwise, please be prepared to pay in full or make the first installment payment by financial settlement deadline and have financial aid reimburse the student account when it arrives.
•Confirm Attendance: We want to be good stewards of financial and academic resources available to Baylor students. Confirming attendance just prior to the beginning of class helps us to carefully allocate those resources to students who are sure to attend.

Students can log into Bear Web after receiving new term invoice notification and confirm online.
Your balance is 0 or less after financial aid credits? You still must confirm attendance to complete financial settlement.
What happens when financial settlement is not completed by the deadline? The class schedule is cancelled and a hold is placed on the account. The ID card becomes inactive and will not access facilities including housing and meal plans. To re-register, payment must be made along with a re-registration fee of $100 ($150 after classes begin). If paid after the start of class, a $75 late fee must also be paid. The original class schedule may no longer be available.
