Tuition and Fees
Student Services
D-155 ASB
(801) 422-4104
Tuition and class fees for all academic programs are
established annually by Brigham Young University's Board of
Trustees. Tuition rates are based on graduate or undergraduate
status, full- or part-time status, and membership in The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Church). There are also separate
rates for graduate students attending the J. Reuben Clark Law
School and the Marriott School of Management.
BYU is owned and operated by the Church, and a significant
portion of university operating costs are paid with the tithes of
Church members. In recognition of this support, Church members
are assessed lower tuition fees than those who are not members.
This practice is similar in principle to that of state universities
charging higher tuition to nonresidents. Students are considered
members of the Church if they have been baptized at any time
during the semester or term.
Tuition rates for the 2007–2008 academic year are as follows:

The university reserves the right to change tuition and fees
without notice.
Noncredit and Audited Course Fees
Tuition for noncredit courses or for courses being audited is
charged at the same rate as for credit courses. Noncredit and audit
hours will be considered when determining part-time, three-quarter-time,
or full-time status for tuition assessment purposes.
Student Status for Tuition Assessment Purposes
Graduate Status. Students (both degree-seeking and non-degree-seeking)
who have received their bachelor's degree prior to the
beginning of the semester or term for which they are registering.
Note that the preceding tuition rate table does not apply to
students of the J. Reuben Clark Law School and the Marriott
School of Management. Separate tuition and fee schedules are
available for these programs within the respective schools.
Full-time Status. Undergraduate students registered for 12.0 or
more credit hours per semester or 6.0 or more credit hours per
term. For graduate students, full-time status is defined as
registration for 8.5 or more credit hours per semester or 4.5 or
more credit hours per term.
Three-Quarter-Time Status. Undergraduate students registered for
9.0 to 11.5 credit hours per semester or 4.5 to 5.5 credit hours per
term. There is no three-quarter-time status for graduate students.
Enrollment as a three-quarter-time student does not entitle the
student to physical education suit and facility privileges.
Part-Time Status. Undergraduate students registered for 0.5 to 8.5
credit hours per semester or 0.5 to 4 credit hours per term. For
graduate students, part-time status is defined as registration for
0.5 to 8.0 credit hours per semester or 0.5 to 4.0 credit hours per
term. Enrollment as a part-time undergraduate student does not
entitle the student to health service, student activity privileges, or
physical education suit and facility privileges.
Payment of Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees are considered due and payable seven calendar
days prior to the first day of class. Failure to pay by this date will
result in holds being placed on the student's account, restricting
the ability to add additional classes, unless the student has
pending financial aid. Class registrations will be dropped if
payment of tuition and fees is not received by midnight of the day
following the add deadline. Classes will generally not be dropped
if adequate financial aid is pending. However, it is the student's
responsibility to ensure that financial aid or other forms of
payment are available to satisfy tuition and fees prior to the deadline.
Class registrations that are dropped for nonpayment will not be
reinstated for payments received after the payment deadline.
Short-Term Loans
The university makes short-term loans available to assist students
to meet the tuition payment deadline. These loans are intended to
be used for short-duration financing needs. Short-term loans are
due as follows:
Semester/Term |
Due Date |
Fall 2007 |
November 15, 2007 |
Winter 2008 |
March 15, 2008 |
Spring 2008 |
June 1, 2008 |
Summer 2008 |
August 1, 2008 |
A $20 processing fee will be charged for each short-term loan. No
interest is charged on those loans if they are paid by the due date.
Short-term loans outstanding after the due date bear interest at
the rate of 12 percent per annum. Holds on registration for future
semesters or terms are placed on all student accounts the day the
short-term loan is disbursed and are not released until the loan is
paid in full. This may affect the ability of some students to take
advantage of priority registration.
Pro-Rata Charges for Dropped Classes
Students may drop classes without penalty until the add deadline.
After the add deadline, tuition will be recalculated based on the
student's current enrollment status. A pro-rata tuition charge will
be applied for dropped classes that result in a student moving
from full-time to three-quarter-time or three-quarter time to
part-time or fewer hours within part-time status. The pro-rata charge
applies to tuition and most class fees. Certain class fees relate to
the delivery of required supplies or services and are not
refundable. The pro-rata charges are as follows:

The recalculation of tuition and fee charges may result in a refund.
The amount of the refund a student will receive is based on the
date the classes are dropped, or in the case of an official
discontinuance, the date that the student reports such
discontinuance to the Discontinuance Office (B-150 ASB).
Any refund due the student will be paid by check through the
mail approximately ten days after the classes are dropped. If the
student has elected direct deposit for student account refunds, the
refund will be deposited into the student's bank. Payments
originally paid by credit card will be returned to the credit card.
Unpaid university charges may be deducted from the refund
amount.
Refunds will not be paid to students whose tuition has been
paid by a loan, scholarship, or benefit.
If a student with federal financial aid drops below half-time
enrollment (undergraduate, 6 hours per semester or 3 hours per
term; graduate, 4.5 hours per semester or 2.5 hours per term), the
federal program or lender may require that a portion of the
refund be returned.
A petition for exception to the refund schedule will be
considered for students forced to discontinue because of
circumstances that are beyond their control, such as death in the
immediate family, life-threatening situations, medical
incapacitation, a university error, or military leave. Students
should not submit petitions based on ignorance of university
policies and procedures. These will be denied. Petition forms are
avialable in D-155 ASB.
Collection of Unpaid Tuition and Fees
BYU retains all legal remedies to collect unpaid tuition, fees, and
other amounts due to the university for housing, traffic fines, etc.
BYU uses a variety of methods to keep students informed of
amounts due the university, including financial Web sites,
statements, and various forms of correspondence. It is the
student's responsibility to remain aware of obligations to the
university and to make payment on a timely basis.
If BYU is unable to collect amounts due the university within a
reasonable time, the debt may be referred to an outside collection
agency and/or attorney for collection. All collection costs,
including collection agency fees, attorney fees, and court costs will
be charged to the student's account.
Failure to pay all amounts due BYU, including collection fees,
may also result in various actions, including but not limited to
withholding services and restricting the student's ability to
register for class, participate in graduation, receive a transcript or
diploma, or be considered for readmission to the university. The
university also reserves the right to report both positive and
negative payment histories to credit-reporting agencies.
Payments for Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees include charges such as tuition, class fees, tuition
reassessments, tuition late fees, Study Abroad fees, and health
plan charges. Students are responsible to pay the correct amount
of tuition, fees, and past due balances in U.S. dollars (checks must
be drawn on a U.S. bank). A current billing statement is available
on Route Y by clicking the My Financial Account link under the
School heading. The following options are available for making
tuition and fee payments. For more information on making
payments to BYU, please visit
http://payments.byu.edu.
Pay Tuition Online
BYU encourages you to take advantage of the fast, easy, and
secure way to pay online. Payments may be made online by
logging into Route Y and selecting the My Financial Account link
under the School heading.
- eCheck (BYU's preferred payment method)
eCheck is a free electronic check option that uses a secure
Web transmission to electronically deduct payments
directly from a checking or savings account. The payer's
bank routing and account numbers are required when
making eCheck payments. Payments from mutual fund,
money market, line of credit, or brokerage accounts cannot
be accepted.
- Credit Card with a Service Fee
The university no longer accepts credit card payments for
tuition and fees directly, but BYU has arranged for a third-party
vendor to accept American Express, Discover, and
MasterCard. The third party charges the payer a
nonrefundable service fee equal to 2.75 percent of the
transaction amount. This fee will be in addition to the
tuition and fee charges. Visa is not accepted because its
operating rules prevent participation in service fee
programs of this type.
- Debit cards are considered credit cards for tuition and
loan payment purposes and would therefore be subject to
the same credit card restrictions and service charges.
Because eChecks and debit cards both deduct payments
directly from a checking or savings account, students can
avoid the service charge by choosing the eCheck option.
Note the Credit Card Refund Policy: Existing credit card
regulations prohibit BYU from making a refund to you in
cash or check when you make a payment by credit card
and there is an adjustment made to the charges paid. When
you pay by credit card and there is a reduction in the
amount of your charges, we are required to refund the
amount back to the credit card you used to make the
payment. The third party vendor will not refund any
portion of the service fee even though a refund has been
made to the credit card.
Pay Tuition by Mail
Check or money order payments may be mailed to Student
Financial Services, A-153 ASB, Provo, UT 84602. Please make
checks payable to Brigham Young University or BYU. Do not mail
cash. Include with your check the student's BYU ID number and
the amount to apply to each category. You may print a statement
and remittance slip by logging into Route Y, selecting My
Financial Account, and then clicking the Print a Statement button;
however, this is not required to make payment.
Pay Tuition in Person
Payments may be made throughout the year in person at D-155
ASB. However, during the first two weeks of each semester or
term, only limited services are available at this location. Full
cashiering services during these periods are available at OneStop
Student Services in the Wilkinson Student Center. Tuition may be
paid using check, money order, or cash. Credit cards and the
Signature Card cannot be used to pay tuition or fees at BYU
cashiering locations (see Pay Tuition Online above for acceptable
use of credit cards). Check or money order payments may also be
left in the drop boxes at OneStop Student Services in the
Wilkinson Center or D wing on the main floor of the ASB.
Pay Tuition by Telephone
eCheck payments may be made over the telephone by calling
(801) 422-4104. Credit card payments for tuition cannot be made
over the telephone. Credit card payments for tuition can only be
made online through the third-party vendor.
Pay Tuition Through Western Union
This option is probably most advantageous for international
payments. Using cash rather than credit card as the payment
method will greatly reduce the amount of Western Union fees.
Follow these instructions to make a tuition payment using
Western Union Quick Collect:
- Go to a Western Union agent location. To find a location
call toll-free 1-800-325-6000, press 2, 1; or go to the Web site
at http://www.westernunion.com
- Complete the blue Quick Collect form. You will need the
following information to complete the form:
- Pay to: Brigham Young University
- Code city: BrighamYoung (case sensitive and no
spaces)
- State: UT
- Account Number: (nine-digit BYU student ID)
- Provide payment to Western Union
- Payment amount includes amount owed to BYU plus
Quick Collect fee (between $11 and $15 U.S.)
- $5,000 U.S. limit for each cash transaction
- Receive the receipt with the ten-digit money transfer
control number (MTCN). This number can be used to track
your Quick Collect payment. Notification of cash payment
is sent within a few minutes.
Pay Tuition by Wire Transfer
To pay tuition using an international or domestic wire transfer,
please contact us for wire transfer instructions via phone (801)
422-4104 or via email at wiretransfer@byu.edu.

Health Insurance Requirement
BYU requires all three-quarter- and full-time students (9 credit
hours or more for a semester; 4.5 credit hours for a term) to carry
adequate medical insurance. This applies the entire time a student
has continuing status, including students taking a semester or
term off. All participants in groups on tour, Study Abroad, or
internships are required to carry adequate medical insurance.
Enrollment in the BYU Student Health Plan satisfies the
university's insurance requirement, as does enrollment in a group
medical plan provided by an employer or a spouse's or parent's
employer. We recommend that any other medical insurance plan
should:
- provide at least 70 percent coverage for all major medical
expenses, including physician, hospital, and ancillary
services;
- have an individual annual deductible of no more than
$500; and
- have an annual plan limit of no less than $25,000.
Three-quarter- or full-time students must enroll in the BYU
Student Health Plan or provide verification of other adequate
insurance coverage when first enrolling at BYU and prior to the
beginning of fall semester each year thereafter. Students who do
not return a properly completed waiver form via the Web to the
BYU Student Health Plan Office prior to the last day to add/drop
will be automatically enrolled in and assessed the appropriate
premium (single or married student rate) for the BYU Student
Health Plan.
The BYU Student Health Plan is an annual plan but is billed
and must be paid each semester/term. The health plan fee is due
the first day of class each semester or term. Following fall
semester, students who will not be attending BYU for one or more
semesters or terms (except as described above) are eligible to
remain on the BYU Student Health Plan but must continue to pay
the health plan fee on a timely basis. Following fall semester,
students who will no longer be attending BYU may also opt out
of participation in the health plan. If you choose to not remain on
the student health plan, you must submit in writing such decision
wo the BYU Student Health Plan Office by the due date of the
plan fee.
For the latest BYU Student Health Plan fees, check the Web
site at
http://saas.byu.edu/tuition/healthins.aspx.
Appeals
Students with unusual circumstances may appeal for special
consideration of any item in this section to the Student Services
Office. Appeal forms may be obtained at the Student Services
windows at D-155 ASB.
