Financial Agreements
The University reserves the right to change its schedule of tuition, residence, and board, and special fees when it is deemed advisable. The University will not be responsible for the loss of money or other valuables. Personal property is the student’s own responsibility. It is recommended that students residing in campus housing contact their personal or family insurance carrier to review coverage. Any damage to University property will be charged to the student.
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. If financial aid and/or bank loans are pending, students must sign a promissory note online by logging into my.daemen.edu to complete the registration process and be admitted to classes. Registrations may be canceled for any student who does not make satisfactory payment arrangements.
WE ARE PAPERLESS! Tuition statements are available online: self-service > student finance > make a payment.
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.
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 via https://selfservice.daemen.edu. The payment process is simple and secure. Payments by electronic checks (ACH) as well as Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express® and Discover® cards are accepted.
All financial obligations must 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.
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 College and is required in order to guarantee a seat in the entering class. The tuition deposit is non-refundable.
Withdrawals and Refunds
If a student moves out of the residence halls to off-campus housing after the first day of classes, housing and meal charges will be pro-rated. Please note this will be handled at the discretion of the Director of Housing and Residence Life. The meal plan portion will be refunded on a pro-rated basis from the date a Withdrawal from Housing form is submitted to the Office of Housing and Residence Life.
A housing contract release requested in writing before the start of the Spring semester will be granted for the following reasons: participation in a college-sponsored program away from the Amherst area, serious illness or injury to the resident, death in the immediate family, or the withdrawal from Daemen University through the Office of Academic Advisement. All requests must be submitted in writing to the Director of Housing and Residence Life for consideration.
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 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 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. The tuition refund policy for all students will be as follows:
- Prior to and within the first week of classes 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
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 Bursar of Daemen University, who will respond within seven days.
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.
Credit for Financial Aid
It is the student’s responsibility to complete all arrangements for any financial aid (described in the following section of this catalog) 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 college bill discrepancies through consultation with the Financial Aid Office and the Office of Student Accounts.
