Do you offer payment plans?
The University offers payment plans as an option for students who are unable to satisfy their student account at the time of registration. Applications for payment plans will be considered on an individual basis, through the Business Office.
DMU offers payment plans to students who are unable to pay their full tuition at the time they register for classes. Applications for payment plans are considered on an individual basis, through Student Accounts. The office also has the right to revoke or terminate a payment plan if payment deadlines are not met.

What if I drop a class? Will I receive a refund?
The University disburses these funds when they are received for the student’s account (not in anticipation of aid being received). You do not need to request the disbursement of a financial aid refund, if your balance is less than the disbursement (with no prior balances) a disbursement check will be issued to the student. Student financial aid refund checks are available no earlier than the first day of classes.
When a refund check is available to be picked up, the student is notified by email. Refund checks that are not picked up within seven business days of the email are mailed to the student’s address on file. Please confirm your address, phone number and any demographic information on your account before to the start of the term. Refunds will not be provided to students with a financial hold of any kind on their record or has an open balance that needs to be paid.
Where do I find more information about financial aid process?
Visit DMU’s Financial Aid FAQs page.
Can donations be made to benefit a particular student?
Donations cannot be earmarked for a particular student and DMU cannot accept such donations. (Additionally, such donations are not tax deductible to the donor.)
A donor may earmark a scholarship for a student from a particular place (state for example), background (military active duty or veteran, person of color, low income, other demographic information), or who would like to work in a particular place (an underserved area).
If such a scholarship was set in place, a student would need to apply for it and be awarded the scholarship, so at that point financial aid would need to be involved. The donor cannot influence to whom the scholarship goes to directly. Decisions are be made by the Financial Aid Department.
What if I have a question not answered here?
More detailed information regarding financial policies, fees, and refund policies, please consult the student handbook. This is available on the enrollment services page by clicking “Academic Catalog/Policies.”
Does financial aid go directly to cover my invoice?
Yes. If you are expecting a Federal Loan and have finalized your Financial Aid Package by following all the steps required by the Financial Aid department (financialaid@divinemercy.edu).
Please know that the school only receives the funds on your behalf after the Add & Drop period is over. The balance will continue to show in Populi (Student portal) until we have received enough loans that cover the tuition balance.
How can I receive my student loan refund?
If the loan amount exceeds the amount due to DMU, students should expect to receive a student loan refund (if applicable) within (6) business days from the date of the loan disbursement notification. Please note that we process student loan refunds via ACH. The Student Account office needs your banking information to send the remainder of your student loan back to you , please contact the student accounts office via studentaccounts@divinemercy.edu to request a banking information request form.
What if my banking information changes for student loan refunds?
