Your Bill & Receiving Your Aid
Fall Quarter/Semester Billing
The Bursar's Office is responsible for billing and will assess charges to your student account such as tuition, fees, housing and meal plans. Bills are sent on a monthly basis.
For the fall quarter and fall semester:
- Initial bills will be sent on August 3rd to students registered for classes.
- The due date for that bill is August 22nd.
The initial bill lists tuition, fees and any other charges you have for the fall term, as well as your authorized financial aid. In order for aid to be "authorized," it must be accepted and all requirements completed. Be sure to check PioneerWeb—any item with a red flag in the "Financial Aid Requirements" box requires additional action, and the award associated with that requirement will not appear as a credit on your bill until that item is satisfied.
View statements, pay your bill, and set up authorized users with DUPay.

When to Expect Your Financial Aid
Graduate Students:
Federal regulations prohibit institutions from disbursing financial aid any earlier than 10 days prior to the start of the term. The first day of classes for fall quarter is September 12th, which means your financial aid will disburse to your student account and pay toward your charges on September 2nd (as long as all financial aid requirements have been satisfied and you're enrolled in classes). Refunds will be generated on September 4th.
Your financial aid will not pay until after the due date of the bill. That's OK! Just be sure that the financial aid scheduled to disburse and any payment you make will cover your bill. Use our estimated billing worksheet to get a better idea of what you might owe.
Law Students:
The first day of classes for fall semester is August 17th, which means your financial aid will disburse to your student account and pay toward your charges on August 7th (as long as all financial aid requirements have been satisfied and you're enrolled in classes). Refunds will be generated on August 11th. Use our estimated billing worksheet to get a better idea of what you might owe.

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 Bursar's Office two to three business days after disbursement. We recommend setting up direct deposit to expedite the receipt of your refund.
To set up direct deposit for refunds:
- Log into PioneerWeb.
- Go to the Student tab.
- Click on the "Direct Deposit Info" link (located in the My Statement/Payment box).
