Financial Information

Tuition rates and fees are published by Student Accounting Services. Students are encouraged to check their website for up-to-date tuition and payment information.

Students who register for 0–11 credits are considered part time and pay at the per credit rate. Part-time registrants also pay a registration fee and a program fee in addition to tuition.

Students who register for 12–18 credits pay a flat, full-time tuition rate per semester. Full-time candidates may not register for more than 18 credits without written permission from the Registrar and their academic advisor. If granted this permission, they are assessed full-time tuition plus the per credit rate for each credit above 18 credits.

Health Insurance

Health insurance is required by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for any student enrolled for nine or more credits per semester. Health insurance will be automatically assessed on the student’s account when he or she registers for nine or more credits overnight at any time during a fall or spring semester. Once the published waiver deadlines are established, they are firm. Do not neglect to deal appropriately with the insurance charge by the waiver deadline. For more information visit the Student Accounting Services website.

Students registered for less than nine credits may request that insurance be added to their bill regardless of the number of credits carried.

Payment & Payment Deadlines

Student Accounting Services establishes and publishes payment information and deadlines for each semester. In verifying the amount due, students should use the Student Link to view their student account, as it is likely that a printed bill will not be accurate. The Student Link displays the account in real time and is far more accurate. If a student has been awarded a scholarship from the School, it will be posted to the student’s account after registration is complete. Bills are due regardless of whether you receive a paper bill in the mail.

Payments are made to Boston University, Student Accounting Services, 881 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215. You may pay in person or by mail.

Payment Options: Please see the Student Accounting Services website for complete information and options.
