The Bursar’s Office prepares students’ bills for tuition and fees. Tuition and fees are due before the start of each term. Please consult the Bursar’s Office website for a complete billing schedule (finance.duke.edu/bursar). Students applying for financial aid should complete that process by the assigned due date.
Bills are available electronically on DukeHub, and students will receive a bill via email. Students may view bills and up-to-date student account history on DukeHub. Email bills will also be sent to anyone the student has designated as a guest with access to view online bills.
Students are encouraged to pay by e-check, a fast and convenient method for paying their bills. To pay by e-check, visit DukeHub or finance.duke.edu/bursar and click the DukePay icon. Payment also may be mailed to the address listed on the bill.
Duke partners with Nelnet to provide a payment plan for current term charges. For additional information please visit mycollegepaymentplan.com/duke or finance.duke.edu/bursar.
Additional reference information regarding student accounts is available at finance.duke.edu/bursar. Students may also contact the Bursar’s Office for questions regarding their student account. Email bursar@duke.edu, call (919) 684-3531, or fax (919) 684-3091.
As noted above, tuition and fees are due before the start of each term. If a student’s account becomes past due, a late payment penalty charge (not to exceed 1.25 percent of the past due balance from the prior bill) will be assessed on subsequent bills. If the account remains unpaid, a student will not be allowed to register for future semesters and may be administratively withdrawn from Duke. As long as the account is past due, a student will not have academic credits certified or receive a diploma at graduation. If the account remains outstanding after a student departs from Duke, it may be referred to a collection agency and reported to a credit bureau.
The Bursar’s Office will prepare bills in April, May, and June for current Duke students enrolled for Summer Session. April and May bills are due on the twelfth of the following month. June bills are due on the first business day of August. Please consult the Bursar’s Office website for a complete billing schedule (finance.duke.edu/bursar). Students will receive bill notifications via their Duke email account and also may view their bills on DukeHub. Email bills will also be sent to anyone the student has designated as a guest with access to view online bills.
Problems meeting these deadlines should be discussed with the Bursar’s Office prior to the start of the term. Failure to meet deadlines may have implications for fall enrollment.
The Summer Session Office will enclose a statement of charges with the confirmation of registration letter sent to all visiting students and Duke graduates. Payment for term charges will be due on the designated due dates.
The Summer Session Office will enclose a statement of charges with the confirmation of registration letter sent to all visiting students and Duke graduates. Payment for term charges will be due on the designated due dates. Summer Session retains the right to withdraw students from classes if they never attend, have not paid tuition and fees, or if they have failed to clear with the Bursar’s Office, by the end of the Drop/Add period. Attendance in classes after the first three days of the term obligates the student to the full tuition and fees for the course.
Students who, subsequent to withdrawal, clear with the Bursar’s Office prior to the midpoint of the particular term may, with written permission of their academic dean, be reinstated in their classes as originally registered and receive regular grades. The administrative withdrawal fee will stand and the student will be liable for full tuition and fees.
Tuition and mandatory fees are required to be paid in full, regardless of:
For the avoidance of doubt, and as has been the Policy of Duke University in the past, tuition and mandatory fees will not be refunded in whole or in part for any reason, except as provided for under the Refund Policy. By paying the tuition and mandatory fees, the student and anyone paying tuition on their behalf acknowledges and accepts these terms.
In the case of withdrawal from the university, tuition will be reduced according to the following schedule:
