Payment of full-time tuition entitles students to take 12-17 hours of course work. Students will be charged at the part-time credit-hour rate for each credit hour taken beyond 17 per semester.

 

The charge for room and board 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 boarding period, but the Thanksgiving holiday, intersemester recess, and spring break are excluded. Students who arrive before the opening of the semester or who stay after it ends will be charged an extended residence fee of $15 per day.

 

Financial Agreements

 

The College reserves the right to change its schedule of tuition, residence and board, and special fees when it is deemed advisable. The College 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 College 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 first day of classes each semester for the amount of the semester charges less any financial aid and/or bank loans. A $100 late payment fee will be assessed if arrangements are made after this date. If financial aid and/or bank loans are pending by the first day of classes, students must sign a promissory note in the Office of Student Accounts in order to complete the registration process and be admitted to classes. Registrations will be canceled for any student that does not make satisfactory payment arrangements. Tuition bills are mailed to students if they register at least 7 days before the start of a semester. Students that register after that date or make changes to their original registration should call or come to the Office of Student Accounts for their bill. Checks should be made payable to Daemen College and mailed to the Office of Student Accounts, Duns Scotus Hall, Room 112, 4380 Main Street, Amherst, New York 14226.

 

Other payment options are available such as payment by Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, or the Daemen College Promissory Note. Please call (716) 839-8213 for additional information. 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 collection of any and all outstanding amounts owed to the College.

 

Room Deposits

 

By May 1 all enrolled resident students who intend to return for the fall semester must make a room deposit of $200. This amount will be credited on the first semester’s bill. A refund of the room deposit will be made if a written notice of withdrawal from residence is received by the Director of 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 $100 ($500) tuition deposit 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.

 

Damage Deposits

 

All students residing on campus in the college residence halls are required to pay a one hundred dollar ($100) damage deposit. The cost of any damage caused by the student will be deducted from this deposit. Upon termination of residence, this deposit or whatever portion of it remains will be refunded to the student as soon as possible.

 

Withdrawals and Refunds

 

The College 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 126, Duns Scotus Hall. The date of withdrawal will in every case be considered to be on or after the date on which a Notice of Intent to Withdraw form has been completed. 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 & within 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

 

If a resident continuing student withdraws from the college or moves out of the residence halls after the first day of classes, there will be no refund of residence fees. The food service portion will be refunded on a pro-rated basis, provided 10 days written notice is given to the Director of Residence Life.

 

All resident students should notify the Director of Residence Life, in writing, at least 10 days before they plan to move from campus housing. There will be no refund for meals missed by students due

to classes scheduled during dining hours.

 

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 College, who will respond within seven days.

 

If a student’s enrollment is canceled because of an error on the part of the College, 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) which he or she may be eligible to receive. Credit toward college 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.
