Costs and Budgets
Direct charges for tuition, fees, housing (University-owned) and meal plan rates are set on an annual basis by the University. Variable expenses such as books, supplies, and personal spending allowances are set by the Office of Financial Aid and are based on average student expenses and federal guidelines. These allowances are listed below. The combined direct charges and variable expenses create the Cost of Attendance budget for each program.
The annual Cost of Attendance budget, which can be viewed on Porches once enrolled, reflects average cost of attendance figures and determines the maximum amount of financial aid that a student can receive. Included in these budgets are commonly accepted educational expense allowances for items such as tuition, fees, books, supplies and personal spending in accordance with federal regulations. Generally, graduate students' eligibility is determined over an academic year, Fall/Spring/Summer semesters. Graduate programs that follow a quarter system are split over Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring.

Billing and Payment
The Office of Student Accounts is responsible for the billing and payment process for all students. Each student has a student account, which summarizes all charges and payments made for University services. The transactions in this account accumulate over the entire enrollment period at the University of Dayton.
For students who prefer to pay their balance due over the course of the term, the Office of Student Accounts currently offers the UD Payment Plan (Fall and Spring).
E-refunding is now the preferred method for refunding Financial Aid excesses. Students can complete the one-time setup in the Payment Center (go.shushijia.net).
Remember that adjustments to your schedule may affect your charges and aid so be sure to talk with a financial aid counselor before dropping a course (or courses). Learn more about the University's refund policy.
