Answer:

A $150 payment plan fee is assessed to a student’s account when a down payment is not received at the time of registration.

Answer:

A $40 drop fee is assessed to a student’s account every time a class is dropped, with the exception of class cancellation or advising error.

Answer:

No. There is no charge to add a class.

Answer:

Partial tuition is charged when a student drops or withdraws from a class after the class has started. The total charge is calculated based on the total amount of class periods and the amount of sessions that have transpired at the time of the drop. It is not based on the number of sessions attended.

Answer:

Payment arrangements are the different methods a student can use to pay their balance during a given semester. All students must provide the Cashier’s Office with their method of payment for the semester at the time of registration.

Answer:

The DBU Cashier’s Office provides four methods of paying for educational expenses:

1. Personal Pay: Student pays semester balance in full at the time of registration.
2. Financial Aid: All the student’s awarded scholarships, loans and grants cover the student's balance in full. All Financial Aid must be guaranteed at the time of registration.
3. Payment Plan: Students can opt to pay their balance in equal installment amounts over the course of the semester. Payment plan fees may apply.
4. Corporate Reimbursement: Students whose tuition is covered by their employer have two options:

Answer:

Although financial aid has been awarded, all amounts are not posted to the account until after the add/drop date each semester, which is usually after the 10th class day.

Answer:

All sub-terms, except mini-terms, may be deferred as long as the student is taking at least one regular full-semester course.

Answer:

Students will receive a refund check after Financial Aid is posted to their student account and creates a credit balance. There is up to a 14 business day processing period before the check is mailed out.

Answer:

A BookCard allows for a student’s book charges to be paid for with a student's financial aid. A student is eligible for a book card when their guaranteed Financial Aid exceeds their balance. If available, a BookCard must be requested through the Cashier’s Office before the BookCard deadline.

Answer:

The final payment for all student accounts (except for Corporate Reimbursement Students) must be received by the Final Payment Date each semester.

Answer:

Students who still have a balance after the final payment date will be placed on a global hold. A global hold prevents a student from accessing their final grades, obtaining transcripts, and registering for additional classes. In addition, the hold restricts access to final exams, student services, and participation in commencement exercises.
