Your Bill & Receiving Your Aid
Winter Quarter and Spring Semester Billing
The Office of Student Billing is responsible for billing and will assess charges to your student account such as tuition, fees, housing, and meal plans. Bills are sent every month.
Graduate and Law Students:
- Initial bills will be sent on December 1 to students registered for classes.
- The due date for that bill is December 22.
The initial bill lists tuition, fees, and any other charges you have for the term, as well as your authorized financial aid. In order for aid to be "authorized," it must be accepted and all requirements completed. Check the Financial Aid Checklist on your My4D dashboard—any item with the open circle icon next to it requires additional action, and the award associated with that requirement will not appear as a credit on your bill until that item is satisfied.
Additional information about billing is available on the Office of Student Billing website.
View statements, pay your bill, and set up authorized users with DUPay.

Financial Aid Refunds
If your financial aid is more than the total of your charges, you may be eligible for a refund to pay other non-billable expenses. Refunds are typically generated by the Office of Student Billing 2-3 business days after disbursement, and will appear in your bank account 2-3 business days after that if you set up direct deposit.
