EMPLOYER REIMBURSEMENT

Employer Reimbursement is a deferred method of payment offered to students whose employer will pay for their courses.

On or before the due date of your tuition, you must furnish the ODU Business Office with both a:

• Signed employer reimbursement agreement with documentation of employers reimbursement policy each semester.
• 1.5% Service Charge added to statement for each agreement.

TUITION PAYMENT PLAN

The Tuition Payment Plan allows payment of tuition and room/board charges to be made in interest-free monthly installments. The earlier students enroll in the program, the more likely the lowest payment option will be available.

Sign up for the Tuition Payment Plan.

Students dropping a course or withdrawing from the University must follow University policies for registration and withdrawal. The official date of withdrawal is the receipt date of written notification presented to the Office of the Registrar or the date the withdrawal was entered in ODU Online.

Tuition charges are equal to the percentage of the term completed by the drop date or withdrawal date. The prorated charge will be equal to the percentage of the term completed up to 60%. For withdrawals after 60% of the term completed, the charges will be 100%.

Financial Aid will be recalculated in accordance with federal guidelines. An updated statement of account will be mailed once all recalculations are complete. Resident students who withdraw during a semester may receive an adjustment to the cost of their meal plan. Refer to the Student Handbook for the refund schedule dates each semester. There will be no refund on room charges.

Refund Checks
If your Financial Aid creates a credit balance on your student account, a refund check will be available approximately two weeks after the start of classes. Students not enrolled in eRefund will receive their refund via check. 

• Check refunds are mailed to the home address on file with the university.

If you need to make mailing arrangements for the refund, contact the Business Office at busoffice@ohiodominican.edu.

Refund Direct Deposit
You may also elect to have your refund direct deposited into a checking or savings account by logging on to your account through the “Pay My Bill” link and selecting the “eRefunds” tab. You will need to enter a valid bank Routing and Account number. 

If you receive any Federal Title IV financial aid funds which includes, but is not limited to Direct Loans, Perkins Loans, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants, and PELL Grants, a Title IV Authorization form must be on file BEFORE a refund can be direct deposited.

If you do not have the completed form on file, a paper check will be processed.

The form can be completed online.

If NO PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS are made student schedules may be administratively canceled.

REGISTRATION for the upcoming semester will not be permitted if there is an unpaid balance on the student account or if a payment plan is delinquent.

HOLDS will be placed on transcripts, diplomas and records of any kind for students with unpaid balances.
