Once you are registered for a term, you will receive an email from Student Financial Accounts containing instructions for viewing your charges and completing Financial Settlement. Financial Settlement is the final phase of registration each term you attend Baylor.
Once your charges are available for the term, you must complete the following two steps:
Spring 2021
*When currently enrolled students early register for an upcoming term, they are then billed approximately two weeks prior to the due date. Students registering after a certain point are on a rolling “register—bill—due” cycle. This means the due date will be determined by the date of registration.
Verify financial aid and/or loans are properly reflected on your student account. If necessary, review the Online Student Financial Aid Checklist and contact the Student Financial Aid office with any questions.
To make the process of paying for your Baylor education more manageable, you have the option to enroll in a Payment Plan. Plan enrollment is required each term in which you participate in the Payment Plan. For more detailed information on Baylor's Payment Plan, click here.
To complete financial settlement by participating in a Payment Plan, enrollment must be complete by the financial settlement due date.
Type |
Down Payment |
Subsequent Installments |
---|---|---|
Standard | 25% + $50 Setup Fee | 3 |
Deferred | $100 Setup Fee Only | 3 |
Subsequent Installment Due Dates
Fall | Winter | Spring |
August 31 | November 30 | February 28/29 |
September 30 | December 31 | March 31 |
October 31 | January 31 | April 30 |
If you do not wish to be on a payment plan, payment in full must be received during financial settlement to avoid being administratively enrolled and charged the setup fee.
Adding an Authorized User in the E-Bill System is a student’s written consent that an individual may view account information, make payments on their behalf, and communicate with Student Financial Services regarding their student account. More information about Authorized Users can be found here.
Add/Drop Refunds
Once classes have begun, a student will need to fill out an Add/Drop form from the Office of the Registrar. A refund is based on the following:
Class Days | Refund |
1-5 | 100% |
6-10 | 75% |
11-15 | 50% |
16-20 | 25% |
21 or later | 0% |
Cancellation/Withdrawal Refunds
A cancellation occurs when a student decides not to attend classes for a term prior to the first day of classes for that term and the student is fully refunded. A withdrawal happens beginning the first day of class and a refund is based on a percentage of days participated in the term.
Contact your advisor, program director, or click here for more information on how to initiate a withdrawal.
Baylor University will electronically deposit your student financial aid refund in the financial institution of your choice. Learn more about Direct Deposit here.
In order to avoid transcript and registration holds, your account must remain current.
If you have questions regarding your student account, please contact the Student Financial Aid office or call (254) 710-2311.
