 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Tuition Refund Policies
A student may receive full, or partial credit for the semesters’ tuition charge for each class if he/she completes the official
add/drop, or withdrawal process through the Registrar’s Office.

Refunds for courses offered in terms meeting 2–16 weeks (January Mini 1, Online Extended Winter, Long Winter, Short
Winter, Spring Semester, and Spring Intramester) are based on these percentages:

Before the first-class meeting .......................... 100% >15% through 25% of class meetings ............... 60%
1% through 5% of class meetings ...................... 90% >25% of class meetings ........................... No Refund
>5% through 10% of class meetings ................. 80%
>10% through 15% of class meetings ............... 70%

Courses offered in terms meeting at least one week, but less than two weeks may be dropped before the end of the first-
class day for a 100% refund.

There is no withdrawal from one-week mini-term courses.

The refund for any course with a TBA timeslot such as Internet, Doctoral, Practicum, or Internship will be calculated as if
the course met weekly beginning on the first day of the term. If the first day of the semester is on a Tuesday, then the refund
will be calculated as if the course met weekly on Tuesday throughout the semester.

Calculating the Tuition Refund

The following process is used to calculate the refund of tuition:
1. The number of classes that have already met in a semester are divided by the total number of classes contained in that
semester.
2. This number is the percentage used to calculate the amount of tuition to be refunded.
FORMULA: # of classes met / # of total classes contained in the semester = % of the course completed.
EXAMPLE: 2/16 = 12.5%. 12.5% according to the refund policy equates to a 70% tuition refund
(Refer to the table above).

Students are subject to a $50 drop per dropped course.

Financial aid recipients who withdraw from all classes before 60% of the semester is completed may be required to return
a portion of the federal financial aid received.

A class meeting is defined as any official meeting time as noted on the semester calendar included in the schedule. An
online class meeting is the completion of an academic activity by the student. Examples of this include the completion of a
discussion board, test, quiz, or communication with the professor in regard to academic assignments. The date that the
student enrolls in a class has no bearing on the calculation of class meetings. Additionally, any changes made by a professor
to the official meeting dates will not alter the calculation of refund amounts.

When a student drops and adds an equal number of credit hours within the same term, it is considered an even exchange
and no prorated refund is calculated. If a student drops and adds courses within different terms, credit for courses
dropped will be determined based on the method explained above. Courses added will be charged at full-tuition rates.
In either case, the student will be subject to a drop/withdrawal fee and any other applicable fees.

In cases of course cancellation by the University, credit equal to 100% of tuition and fees will be given.
Late registration and/or absences from class have no bearing on refunds.
Students suspended for academic or disciplinary reasons will not be entitled to a refund of tuition, fees, or housing.

Financial Information Summer-Fall 2024

 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Refunds of credit balances on student accounts will require a minimum of two weeks to be paid after the student has
officially withdrawn through the Registrar’s Office. However, credit balances that are the result of financial aid will be
processed within 14 calendar days after the credit balance appears, per federal regulations. A refund will be issued only if
the student’s balance is paid in full. Refunds are mailed or direct deposited depending on the option selected by the student.
Students should refer to the Tuition Refund Policies on this page or contact the Cashier’s Office for tuition refund
information before dropping or withdrawing from a class. Additionally, students are encouraged to check with the
Financial Aid Office in regard to the effect that withdrawing may have on their financial aid.

Athletics Disclosure
Equity in Athletics Disclosure: Annual reports of information regarding intercollegiate athletics programs at DBU are
available pursuant to the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act upon request by students, prospective students, and members
of the public. Requests should be forwarded in writing to the Director of Athletics.

Mini terms are not eligible for installment payments unless they are taken in conjunction with a long semester class.

 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Payment Policies
A Payment Plan Student is a student who has a balance after registration for courses, has all financial aid applied and tuition
reimbursement obtained, and is eligible for the Payment Plan option for the remaining balance. Payment plans require payments
to be scheduled with a saved payment method at the time of registration inclusive of tuition, fees, room, and board, followed
by payment of the remaining balance in equal payments as detailed in the student’s plan. In the event of a prepayment or
overpayment of a scheduled installment plan, the excess amount will be applied to the next scheduled payment. In addition, a
$175.00 Payment Plan fee will be assessed to the account when utilizing an installment plan that was enrolled by an
administrator and not the student. A fee of $55.00 will be assessed for each instance that a payment is received late, is
insufficient, or is not received at all. All balances must be paid as agreed or the actions noted below may result.
A Financial Aid Student whose guaranteed financial aid covers 100% of the student’s balance is not required to provide
payment at the time of registration. A financial aid student whose guaranteed financial aid covers less than 100% of the student’s
balance is required to pay the student’s account balance that is not covered by financial aid in full at the time of registration or
will automatically be placed on an installment plan for the balance that is not covered by financial aid. If the student chooses
to complete the Payment Plan, the student must pay the down payment at the time of registration. The balance remaining, after
the down payment, is to be paid in equal monthly payments as required in the Payment Plan. A “less than 100%” financial aid
student may not use confirmed financial aid in lieu of the down payment. All balances must be paid as agreed or the actions
noted below may result.

If the student’s aid is not guaranteed at the time of registration, the student must pay for the class in full or enroll in Payment Plan
with scheduled payments.

A Personal Pay Student is a student who pays his or her balance in full at the time of registration using personal resources.
For balances not paid at the time of registration, the actions noted below may result.

A Direct Bill Student is a student whose employer reimburses DBU directly for all or part of a student’s charges for the
student’s education. All direct bill students whose employer pays DBU directly must provide vouchers for the present
registration term within one week from the date of registration for that term. Any student whose employer reimburses less than
100% of student’s charges must either immediately pay the remaining non-reimbursed portion of the student’s charges or
complete a Payment Plan for the remaining non-reimbursed portion of the student’s charges. A “less than 100%” direct bill
student may not use the employer reimbursement in lieu of the down payment. The student must pay the employer’s portion of
the reimbursed charge if the employer’s portion is not received within 45 days from the date of the last class meeting. All
balances must be paid as agreed or the actions noted below may result.

Employer Reimbursed Students must pay all Summer balances by October 1, Fall balances by February 1, and
Spring balances by July 1.

An Employer Reimbursed Student is a student whose employer reimburses the student directly or indirectly for all or part of
a student’s charges for the student’s education. Any student whose employer reimburses less than 100% of the student’s charges
must either immediately pay the remaining non-reimbursed portion of the student’s charges or complete a Payment Plan for
the remaining non-reimbursed portion of the student’s charges. A “less than 100%” employer reimbursed student may not use
the employer reimbursement in lieu of the down payment. The student must pay the employer’s portion of the reimbursed
charge if the employer’s portion is not received within 45 days from the date of the last class meeting. This can be paid in full
or paid through the Payment Plan. All balances must be paid as agreed or the actions noted below may result.

A Veteran Student is a student who receives tuition assistance for all, or part of their student charges paid directly from the
Department of Veteran Affairs. Any Veteran student who receives less than a 100% benefit from the VA must either immediately
pay the remaining portion of the student charges or complete a Payment Plan for the remaining non-tuition assistance portion of
the student’s charges. All balances must be paid as agreed or the actions on this page may result.

All Graduating Students must pay the previous and the present account balances in full by the time designated in the
graduation application materials provided by the Registrar’s Office, or the student will be denied the privilege of participation

in commencement exercises and access to his or her diploma and transcript upon graduation. The student will be allowed to
participate in a commencement exercise only after the previous and present balances are paid in full.

remaining balance, which is a reasonable fee for collection agency service regardless of the dollar amount owed. This balance will
also be reported to a credit-reporting agency and could affect your credit rating.
