Part-time Payment Plans

Note: There is a known issue with payment plan eligibility that is affecting some students. If you are attempting to enroll in a payment plan but do not see the appropriate plan option(s) online, we would advise you to continue to monitor this site for updates. Plan enrollment deadlines may be adjusted to accommodate affected students. 

Boston University has partnered with Nelnet Campus Commerce to offer payment plan options for part-time students.  Fall and Spring plans are available to students who are part-time during those semesters.  Summer plans are available to all students.  Enrollment is available through MyBU Student   by clicking on the “Nelnet Payment and Refunds” button from the “Student Account Balance” page under the Financials icon. Once redirected to Nelnet, select “Payment Plans” from the left-hand menu.

On-campus Students (also applies to remote learning):

For students who are part-time during the academic year, there are two payment plan options during the Fall and Spring semesters.  Each option requires a down payment of 25% of the enrolled plan amount, in addition to an enrollment fee.  The remaining 75% of the plan amount may be paid in one of two ways.  Students enrolling in Option 1 will make three equal installment payments of 25% of the plan amount, due monthly throughout the semester.  Those enrolling in Option 2 will make their remaining payment shortly after the semester ends.

During the Summer 1 and Summer 2 semesters, Option 2 is the only available option.

All available plans and applicable payment options, fees, and disclosures will be presented to you during enrollment. An enrollment fee and other fees may apply.
