University Business Regulations
Business Office
Located on the lower level of the Padour Walker Administration Building, the Business Office serves as the center of the university’s business and accounting functions.
Business Policies
Students are not eligible to attend classes until registration has been approved by the Registrar and the Business Office. Registration may be refused to any student whose previous term account is not paid in full. No refund of charges will be made to any student suspended or dismissed from the university. Registration before census day may be canceled for any student who is delinquent in their payments.
Financial wellness and financial literacy are fostered through partnerships between students and Doane support offices. A student who has a balance after census day will be required to attend a financial literacy session or may be limited from participating in sports, rehearsals, or other student organization activities until the financial literacy session is attended.
An official diploma is not issued to a student who has failed to pay off any indebtedness to Doane University.
A student is held responsible for damage to university property, and is either billed for the cost thereof, or the amount is deducted from the room deposit.
Refunds
If a student who initially commits to Doane elects not to enroll at Doane, a complete refund is made of the money paid up to that time. No interest will be credited to this refund.
Registration constitutes a financial contractual agreement between Doane University and the enrollee. If a student withdraws from the university prior to the official start of a term, all tuition and fees are refunded. After the term begins, a student who withdraws is refunded a portion of tuition and fees for all classes in which the student enrolled on or after census day. (Census day is listed on the university calendar as the last day for registration.) The amount of the refund and the manner in which it is calculated depends upon the student’s status at Doane University.
Tuition and fee refunds are generally based on the last documented date of attendance or the official withdrawal date. For a student who does not officially withdraw, the refund is generally based on the last date of class attendance, as determined by the university. Refund percentages are listed below for each school location.
Refunds are not made for a student dropping an overload, credits or classes, or a student dropping from full-time to part-time status after census day. A student adding credits after census day which result in an overload, is billed for these credits.
Student Tax Information (1098-T)
The University will generate online 1098-T statements by January 31st each year.
IRS regulations do not require generation of 1098-T forms for non-degree seeking or non resident alien status students.
