Some payment plans we offer don’t have an “official” number of payments- they are based on what time of year it is, or for faculty/staff members, can be a payroll deduction. Sometimes we arrange for specialized payment plans with parents. It would be nice to put whatever we want on those buttons.
As there is not a mechanism currently that breaks down the tuition into monthly payments (and even if there were, this wouldn’t be useful for us and it would need to be optional) having the number of payments be mandatory limits our options greatly.
