Statement of Account

The Student Accounts office prepares and mails statements on the first working day of each month.  The due date is approximately three weeks later.  During July, October, November, February and April statements are sent regardless of the Total Due.  During the other months, statements are only sent to those students with a balance of $50 or more.

Charges for the Fall Semester are billed the first working day of July (Fall 2008 charges were billed July 1 and were due July 22).

Charges for the Spring Semester are billed the first working day of November (Spring 2009 is scheduled to be billed on November 3 and will be due November 21, 2008). 

Each student has an account where tuition & fees, room, board, insurance, loans, grants, scholarships, payments and miscellaneous charges are applied.  Statements are sent to the student at the permanent billing address.  If need be, students can request an additional copy of the statement be sent to a second address, by contacting Donna Davis in the Office of Residential Life.

The following information may help you understand your statement.  If you have further questions please contact Student Accounts.


Definitions

Term

The first four digits indicate the calendar year; the last two indicate the semester:
20=Spring;     30=Summer;     40=Fall
i.e., "200840" indicates Fall Semester of 2008.

Previously Billed Balance

The Total Billed Balance as of your last Statement of Account.

Total Billed Balance

The net result of the Previously Billed Balance, current charges, payments and financial aid (not including Authorized Financial Aid). This is the amount that will appear as the Previously Billed Balance on your next statement.

Authorized Financial Aid

This section lists any pending Federal Direct Loans for the current semester. These loans will be credited to the student's account ten days prior to the start of the semester, in accordance with Direct Loan regulations.

Total Due

The Total Billed Balance less any Authorized Financial Aid. This is the amount you should remit by the due date.

Billing Cycle and Due Dates

Statements are mailed at the beginning of each month. In July, October, November, February, and April (to continuing students only) we will send a statement regardless of the Total Due. During the other months, only students with balances of $50 or more will be sent a statement. Please refer to each statement for the current due date. Updated statements will not be sent between billing cycles.

Late Fees

Once charges have been billed and the initial due date has passed, a 1% late fee will be assessed each month until paid. This includes amounts left unpaid because financial aid (e.g., scholarships, loans, grants), monthly payment plan amounts, etc., are not received by the due date.

Health Center and Activity Fees

Health Center and Activity Fees are mandatory charges for all full-time students and are charged once per semester.

The Activity Fee provides basic support to the Denison Campus Government Association and the organizations they sponsor. It allows students to participate in a number of activities and events on campus with no out of pocket expense, and helps support student access to the Internet via the campus computer network.

The Health Center Fee is required of all full-time students regardless of whether or not they have chosen to participate in the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan. It provides basic support to the Student Health Service and covers general operating expenses. Students may visit a doctor at no charge; however, fees for supplies and services (e.g. inpatient care, medicine, laboratory tests and procedures, office surgery and medical equipment) will be charged to the student.

For information on the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan, a group accident and sickness plan, click here: Student Medical Insurance.

Tuition - Excess Hours/Hourly

The annual tuition permits a student to take a maximum of 18 hours each semester. An additional excess hour charge is made for each registered hour over the 18. All excess hour charges are billed by Student Accounts. Under certain circumstances, students may petition to have the charge waived by completing a petition form with the Registrar's Office. For more details or to obtain a petition form, contact the Registrar's Office. A part-time student (8 hours or fewer per semester) is charged the hourly rate for each semester hour of credit.

Requesting a Refund

If there is a credit balance on your account, you may request a refund by completing the Request for Refund form on the back of your Statement or you may print a form here. Financial aid (scholarships, loans, grants, etc.) will not be refunded until after the tenth day of classes of the semester for which they were awarded. Normal processing time for refunds is ten days. You may request the check be sent to your home address or your Slayter Box.
