Monthly Payment Plans
pAYMENT PLAN ENROLLMENT WINDOWS
Hawai‘i Pacific University has partnered with our third-party payment processor, Transact (formerly known as Cashnet), to offer the ability to conveniently distribute your portion of tuition and fees across manageable monthly installments. Using a payment plan will let you avoid high interest rates normally seen with traditional loans. The cost to you is a small, non-refundable enrollment fee of $35 (Summer term) or $65 (Fall or Spring terms) for each term you wish to enroll in a payment plan.
- All students are eligible to sign up for the current term payment plan (unless the student has demonstrated late payments or other issues with prior semester payment plans)
- You will never miss a payment when you sign up for autopay
- With the click of a button, students can invite parents (or others) to make payments on their behalf
- The payment plan budget is calculated for you based on your current balance at the time of signup
- As your financial aid is approved (meaning "ready to pay"), it will apply to your overall balance and reduce your payment plan budget
- Fall/Spring payment plans are flexible, as long as 6 months and as short as 3 months
To set up a payment plan, follow the instructions below:
Students: Log in to your myHPU portal, then select the "Business & Payments" icon in the Student QuickLaunch section
parents (payers, or authorized users): Your student must set you up as a Payer, or authorized user, before you can set up a payment plan or pay your student's balance. Once that step is complete, enroll by visiting https://myebill.hpu.edu, and following the prompts to enroll in a plan.

HPU offers a special payment plan students who live on-campus and receive Post 9/11 GI Bill® benefits. The plan will match the disbursement dates for housing stipends which will allow student and benefactors to make payments as they themselves are being reimbursed.
How to qualify: If your on-campus housing charges reflect on MyHPU, Business & Payments and you have already certified your enrollment with HPU’s VA Center, you’re already qualified. You can confirm both of these items are satisfied by logging in to MyHPU, Business & Payments.
If one or the other (housing or VA certification) is missing, please reach out to ar@hpu.edu for assistance. Make sure to include your student ID number in the body of your email.
