The charge for housing and food covers the period beginning with the evening preceding the opening of classes and extends to the day following the last examination.  Regular school holidays are included in the housing period, but the Thanksgiving holiday, inter-semester recess, and spring break are excluded. Please consult the Student Handbook for additional information. Students who arrive before the opening of the semester or who stay after it ends will be charged an extended residence fee of up to $50.00 per day, or up to $235.00 per week.

Financial Agreements

The University reserves the right to change its schedule of tuition, housing and food, and special fees when it is deemed advisable. All students must sign a Financial Responsibility Agreement at the start of each semester. This agreement is available when students log in to review or pay their bills.

Payments

Students are expected to make payment arrangements with the Office of Student Accounts (Duns Scotus Hall, Room 112) by the due date stated on their self-service billing statement for the amount of the semester charges less any financial aid and/or bank loans. If bank loans are pending, students may be required to sign a promissory note from their third-party servicer. A $100.00 late payment fee will be assessed if arrangements are made after this date.  Registrations may be canceled for any student who does not make satisfactory payment arrangements.

Students will be notified via Daemen email and/or text message when semester bills are available to view on Self Service @ https://selfservice.daemen.edu

• Fall tuition statements will be available in July and due in August.
• Spring statements will be available in December and due in January.
• Students will be notified via Daemen email if revisions are made to their account.

Online payments through self-service are available, enabling students and/or parents to pay tuition and fees by electronic check (ACH) or by credit/debit card. Tuition payments can be made online at: Self-Service > Student Finance > Continue to Account Info/Payment Center. https://selfservice.daemen.edu/Student/Finance/Payments

Checks should be made payable to Daemen University and mailed to the Office of Student Accounts, Duns Scotus Hall, Room 112, 4380 Main Street, Amherst, New York 14226.

All financial obligations should be settled in full before any claim is made for a degree, semester grade reports, or transcripts. Students will be charged for collection agency fees and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in enforcing the collection of any and all outstanding amounts owed to the University.

The tuition refund policy for all students will be as follows:

• Prior to and within the add/drop period 100%
• Within the second week 80%
• Within the third week 60%
• Within the fourth week 40%
• Within the fifth week 20%
• After the fifth week No Refund

Room Deposits

All enrolled resident students who intend to return for the fall semester must make a room deposit of $200.00. This amount will be credited to the first semester’s bill. A refund of the room deposit will be made if written notice of withdrawal from residence is received by the Director of Housing and Residence Life by May 1. (New students should contact the Admissions Office.) A full refund also will be made to those students not permitted to register for the fall term. Students who are not sure if they are academically qualified to continue should make this deposit; if they are not eligible to continue, a full refund will be made.

Tuition Deposits

A $200 deposit for Undergraduate Students & International Students is regarded as the student’s commitment to the University and is required in order to guarantee a seat in the entering class. A $500 deposit for PA & PT Graduate Students is regarded as the student’s commitment to the University and is required in order to guarantee a seat in the entering class.  The tuition deposit is non-refundable.

Withdrawals and Refunds

The University views registration as the student’s official statement of intent to enroll in a subsequent semester. Therefore, once registered, the student is financially obligated for the payment of all applicable tuition and fees unless a Notice of Intent to Withdraw form (https://www.daemen.edu/academics/registrar/forms) is filed in the Office of Academic Advisement, Room 108 of the Research & Information Commons. The date of withdrawal will in every case be considered to be the date on which a Notice of Intent to Withdraw form has been filed. Should a student fail to follow the withdrawal procedure outlined above, no refund will be made.

Students or parents who feel that individual circumstances warrant an exception to the published policy may submit a written request indicating the special circumstances to the Student Success Center of Daemen University.

If a student’s enrollment is canceled because of an error on the part of the University, full tuition and fees will be refunded. The refunds will be sent to the student within thirty days of filing a properly completed Notice of Intent to Withdraw form.

If a student moves out of the residence halls to off-campus housing during the add/drop period, housing and food charges may be pro-rated at the discretion of the Director of Housing and Residence Life.  

Any changes regarding housing must be communicated to Housing and Residence Life for consideration.

Credit for Financial Aid

It is the student’s responsibility to complete all arrangements for any financial aid that he or she may be eligible to receive. Credit toward university bills for financial aid awards will be given when the payment or award notice, approved by the appropriate agency, is received by the Office of Student Accounts, Room 112, Duns Scotus Hall. The student must resolve any financial aid and university bill discrepancies through consultation with the Financial Aid Office and the Office of Student Accounts.
