• Provide DU’s wiring instructions available here

Cash payments are accepted in-person at the Cashier’s Office in University Hall. Money orders can also be mailed or paid in-person.

Employer Reimbursed Payment

Some employers offer tuition reimbursement to their employees. If your employer reimburses you for tuition costs, you can work with DU’s Cashier Services to set up a reimbursement payment plan.

To use employer reimbursement:

• Inform your company you need reimbursement each term
• Provide your company with a DU billing statement
• Set up with DU Cashier Services to defer payment until reimbursement is received
• Submit payment immediately upon receiving your reimbursement

This allows you to attend classes without paying upfront while waiting for your company’s reimbursement.

Using Third Party Payers

Third party payers like vocational rehabilitation services, veteran’s benefits and workforce agencies sometimes cover students’ tuition and fees.

If a third party is paying your DU costs, contact the Cashier’s Office to provide:

• Documentation from the third party confirming payment
• Student details (name, ID)
• Term and amount to be covered

The Cashier’s Office will invoice the third party. You just need to notify them if the third party fails to pay.

Getting Help with Repayment

If you’re struggling to pay your DU bill, the university offers assistance like:

• Emergency loans – Short-term, low interest loans for immediate needs
• Loan deferment – Postponing loan repayment while in school
• Forbearance – Temporarily postponing or reducing loan payments

Before you fall behind, contact the Office of Student Billing to discuss repayment solutions. It’s important to maintain your account in good standing.
