4. On-Line Credit Courses:

   Tuition:

   • In-district students will be charged $155.00 in tuition per semester credit hour; all other residency students will be charged $232.50 per credit hour.

Tuition and fees are due and payable 10 days after the start of the class, unless the student has already signed up for DACC's payment plan with Nelnet Business Solutions (NBS). Information about NBS can be found here.  Access to account activity and current balance is available on-line only by signing into the Student Services Jaguar Spot. Payments are accepted at the Cashier's Office via cash, check, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, or Discover (service fees apply for credit card payments). Students may also pay by signing into the Jaguar Spot for on-line payment options. A student's billing account is considered financially cleared and paid timely if financial aid has been awarded, scholarships accepted, or the payment plan has been initiated 10 days after the start of the class.

By registering for classes at DACC, the student accepts full financial responsibility for payment of all amounts due by the applicable deadlines.  The student understands that failure to pay past-due debt may result in referral of the account and will result in restrictions on the student's ability to register for future classes, receive official transcripts and other College services.  DACC actively pursues outstanding balances and uses all means necessary as allowed by state and federal law to collect amounts due to the College.

All refunds will be issued through the Business Office periodically throughout the semester.  No refund of tuition or fees is made when a student is expelled for disciplinary reasons.  Refunds for dropping individual courses will be made at the same rate as for withdrawal from the class.  Refunds may be processed by check or posted to credit card.

All tuition and course fee refunds are based upon total monies due the College. If a student officially withdraws from a course during the registration period or during the applicable withdrawal, he/she shall be entitled to receive a refund of 100% of tuition and course fees paid or payable. It is the student's responsibility to drop classes.

A soldier ordered into service by the Governor is eligible for a full refund or credit if he/she is unable to attend college for a period of 7 days or more.

If the student drops before completing 10% of the total class, tuition and course fees paid or payable will be refunded. After 10% of the total class is completed, no refund will be issued. The exception to this policy is when the Department of Education Federal Refund Policy must be applied to those students whose costs are paid by student financial aid funding. Students should always check with Financial Aid and their Counselor before dropping from a class to determine the impact.

State and/or Accrediting Agency Refund Rule

The State of Illinois has not established a mandated refunding rule for community colleges. The Higher Learning Commission as an accrediting agency has not established a refund rule.

Federal Refund Rule (Return of Title IV Funds)

The Department of Education mandates that unearned federal financial aid funds are returned to the specific programs if a student withdraws from a semester. The amount of the refund is determined by the days of the semester that the student was in attendance verses the remaining days (after withdrawal) until the semester ends.

Students are notified by mail of their debt to the Department of Education. This debt must be paid in a timely manner in order for the student to receive future financial aid.
