Student Account Statement
You should expect to receive email notifications around the fifth of each month, when your student account statements are ready to view in the Self Service portal. Please note — you will have the choice about how to make payments, outlined below:
- Pay online. Log in to Dominican's Self Service Portal to either transfer funds from your checking account, or pay with credit card. (Service fee will apply.)
- Pay by mail: Mail a check or money order. (Please include your student ID number on your check.)
- Pay in person: Visit the team at Bertrand Hall, Room 103, to make payments with cash, check or money order.
Payment Plan
A payment plan is available to all students in good standing. Payments may be divided into four equal payments for the fall and spring semesters, and a maximum of two payments for the summer semester.
How it Works
Payments are due on the first of each month as follows:
- Fall semester: August 1, September 1, October 1 (must be paid in full by November 1)
- Spring semester: January 1, February 1, March 1 (must be paid in full by April 1)
- Summer semester: June 1 (must be paid in full by July 1)
Important Details:
- Students who register late and miss the first payment cycle will be required to make a $1000 deposit before the start of classes, and then make the subsequent payments as outlined above.
- Dominican charges a finance charge of 1 percent per month (annual percentage rate of 12 percent) on the unpaid account balances.
- A late fee of $50 will be assessed for any payment received past the due date or non-payment. If a payment is returned or rejected by your bank, we will apply a $50 charge to your account.
- Students who sign up for a payment plan, and miss a payment, must pay the remainder in full and will no longer be able to participate in the payment plan option.
