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. A $100.00 late payment fee will be assessed if arrangements are made after this date. Future registrations may be blocked 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 and pay on Self Service @ https://selfservice.daemen.edu.
- Fall tuition statements are available July 2, 2025 and due July 23, 2025.
- Spring tuition statements are available November 26, 2025 and due December 17, 2025.
Students and/or parents can pay tuition and fees online by electronic check (ACH) or by credit/debit card. Fees will apply to payments by card. Payment Plans may be available for Fall and Spring semesters. Students can set up others as Athorized Users to have access to their financial statements. All of this can be done through a student’s account 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. Only cash or checks can be accepted in the office.
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:
Traditional Semester Programs:
- Add/Drop Period: 0% liability = 100% Refund
- Week 1: 0% liability = 100% Refund
- Week 2: 20% liablity = 80% Refund
- Week 3: 40% liability = 60% Refund

Daemen partners with GradGuard Tuition Insurance to offer a tuition insurance plan as added protection for students and families. This plan can reimburse non-refundable tuition and housing costs after an unexpected withdrawal for a covered illness, injury, mental health condition and more. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about this program and purchase when logging in to pay or view their bill.
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 given according to the Residence Life contract and guidelines. (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.
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 they 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.
