Trimester Programs
Your Charges & Financial Settlement
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:
- Confirm your attendance in BearWeb
- Student Financial Services > Student Account > Confirm Attendance
- If you do not owe a balance, you must still confirm your attendance.
- Pay your charges
- View your charges in the E-Bill System and either pay in full or enroll in a Payment Plan
- View your charges in the E-Bill System and either pay in full or enroll in a Payment Plan
Important Spring Dates
- Next Business Day After Registration (Beginning December 1) - Charges and anticipated aid ready to be viewed in the E-Bill System.
- January 4 - Payment Due Date*
- January 6 - If set up for direct deposit, financially settled, and financial aid applied, funds should arrive in your designated bank account.
- January 11 - Classes Begin
*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.
Financial Aid
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.
Payment Plan
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.

Schedule Changes
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:
- Week 1 - 100%
- Week 2 - 50%
- Beginning Week 3 - 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.
Direct Deposit
Baylor University will electronically deposit your student financial aid refund in the financial institution of your choice. Learn more about Direct Deposit here.
