Payment of Tuition & Fees

Tuition, fees and policies for the University's education programs are subject to change.

Tuition, fees and other balances reflected as University accounts receivable are to be paid in the Accounting Office, which is located on the 4th floor of the Academic Center, Room 417. Please make payments payable to Des Moines University (DMU). If mailing payments, please send to: Attn: Accounting, Des Moines University, 3200 Grand Ave, Des Moines, IA 50312-4198.

Accepted forms of payments are: cash, check (personal, loan, scholarship, certified, and money order), Electronic Funds Transfers of loan disbursements from participating lenders/services, and credit card.

DMU accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit card payments. Credit card payment is only accepted on the portion of tuition not covered by financial aid (including loan funds &/or scholarships), and will only be processed once the student has received the tuition billing notification. To make a credit card payment, please visit the Accounting office, call 515-271-1530 or 800-240-2767 extension 1530, or submit the secure online form located on the student portal or the online payment page.

Note: All payments received in the Accounting Office after 2:00 p.m. CST will be posted to the account on the next business day.

Invoicing, Financial Aid and Payments

  • Private Pay
    • All tuition and fees for the trimester are due by the 1st day of the module

    • Finance charges accrue at a rate of 1.5 percent per month (18 percent APR) on account balances existing after the due dates stated above. Students having delinquent accounts will not be permitted the following privileges: registration, admission to classes, transcripts and a diploma or certificate.

    Return of Funds (Refund) Policy

    If you withdraw from DMU, are granted a leave of absence for more than 180 days, are suspended or dismissed, Federal regulations require the University to calculate a possible return of Title IV funds to your bank, lender or Title IV program. Title IV includes Stafford, Unsubsidized Stafford, Grad PLUS, and Perkins loans. Dropping all courses in a trimester may require a possible return of Title IV funds.

    PPDPT collects tuition and fees by trimester (payment period). Refunds are based on the effective date of your separation from DMU.

    Institutional charges are tuition, repeated course fee and technology fee. Fines and miscellaneous service fees are not included in a return of funds calculation.

    A return of funds is sent directly to your bank or lender or to the appropriate Title IV program in the order noted below. Money you borrowed for living expenses must be repaid to your bank or lender according to the terms of your promissory note.

    Distribution of Returned Funds (subject to change)

    Per current federal policy, we will distribute refunds of financial aid as follows:

    1. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford loan
    2. Federal Stafford loan
    3. Federal Perkins loan
    4. Federal Grad PLUS
    5. State, private or University aid
    6. The Student if funds remain after paying the above.

    Loan Disbursement Refund Information

    Governed by federal regulations, student loan disbursements will be applied to student tuition accounts within three working days after DMU receives Electronic Funds Transfers from lenders or after DMU receives endorsed lender checks from students.

    Enrollment in direct deposit is mandatory for those students receiving financial aid. Students are responsible for maintaining current addresses with the Registrar's office. The Registrar's Office may be contacted at 515-271-1461 or 1-800-240-2767 ext. 1461 or via email at RegistrarOffice@dmu.edu.
