Billing by email (e-Bill): 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.

Viewing 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

Day Undergraduate Students (traditional on-campus students): All outstanding charges must be paid in full before the start of the semester. It is the student’s responsibility to check their 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.

Graduate Students: 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.

Flex Online Undergraduate 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 any transcripts, or receive your diploma.

Important Reminders

Please remember to check your Chaminade student email account for important billing and payment 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 before the first day of the term. If you are entitled to military education benefits with ArmyIgnitED, please complete your registration via the ArmyIgnitED website.
