Billing and payments are handled by the Chaminade University Business Office. See location and contact information below.
Payments Due
Tuition, room and board, and fees must be paid in full prior to the start of the semester. Please see the academic calendar for semester start dates for the undergraduate program.
Student Account Billing, E-bills
An initial billing statement for new day students will be mailed to the address on file.
Billing by email: Chaminade will only be providing monthly billing statements online. A notice will be sent to your Chaminade student email account when a new E-bill is available. You will have the option to print a hard copy of your statement once you have viewed your E-bill statement.
The Business Office will begin processing refunds after the add/drop period ends, once all aid has been disbursed and a credit balance has been created.
View Your Account Online
You may view your account balance, enroll in a Tuition Payment Plan, or Make a Payment at any time in Student Self-Service.
Financial Clearance
All outstanding charges must be paid in full before the start of the semester. It is the student’s responsibility to check his or her account before the start of every term to ensure that all financial obligations have been satisfied. If registering after the start of the term, financial clearance must be achieved at the time of registration.
If financial clearance is not made by the first day of a Day Program term, a $100 late payment fee will be assessed, and a business office hold will be placed on your account.
If financial clearance is not made by the first day of a Graduate or Doctoral program, you will be in jeopardy of disenrollment from your classes. Any class-related fees are not refundable.
For FLEX Students, if there are no payments or you are not enrolled in the Tuition Payment Plan after the add/drop period ends for the current month, a hold will be placed on your account. With this hold, you are unable to register for future courses, request for any Transcripts or receive your Diploma.
Check Your Student Email for Important Reminders
Financial clearance may be achieved by the settlement of all semester charges through one or more the following methods:
- Payment in full of net amount due (see Payment Options below)
- Enrollment in a tuition payment plan (See Monthly Tuition Payment Plan details below)
- Financial aid awards and/or loans
- Military Education Benefits (including Tuition Assistance or VA Benefits)
- Tuition waivers
- Third-party payment
For Military Education Benefits, tuition waivers, and third-party payments, please ensure official verification is submitted to the Business Office, to your Chaminade Program Coordinator, or the Chaminade VA representative prior to the first day of the term. If you are entitled to military education benefits with ArmyIgnitED, please complete your registration via the ArmyIgnitED website.
