Explanation of the Student Account Statement:
The Previous Balance appears first on the Dartmouth College student account statements. This figure represents the amount due on the previous billing, if one was issued. There are two parts to Dartmouth’s account statement: the remittance portion and the statement detail which itemizes activity, such as tuition, room and board and other fees for students expected to enroll. Charges and credits pertaining to previous academic terms may also be detailed. All new transactions (items not previously billed) are listed under Current Charges and Current Credits/Payments. The Current Billed Balance sum provides the total of the Previous Billed Balance (if any) and the Current Charges minus any Credits/Payments. As discussed below, other items may appear if the student is receiving financial aid or payments from outside sources.
Authorized Financial Aid is the total of all credits which have been approved for payment and will automatically be disbursed after the first day of classes provided the student has Checked In (registered). Anticipated Credits are usually financial aid items that have not been authorized for payment by the Financial Aid Office because of outstanding processing requirements, or they are coming from an outside source.
The Amount Due which appears on the remittance portion of the statement and in the Account Summary is the amount that should be paid. Any Authorized Aid and/or Anticipated Credits that appear on the statement have already been subtracted. However, if there are additional items that the student would like to deduct from the Amount Due, these Other Adjustments may be listed on the worksheet provided on the reverse side of the remittance portion. Examples of Other Adjustments that may be deducted from the Amount Due are outside scholarships such as National Merit, Robert C. Byrd Scholarships, tuition savings plans, tuition benefits from other colleges or universities, or any applicable payments from the AMS Monthly Payment Plan.
Calculating the Amount to Pay:
After indicating Other Adjustments on the reverse side of the remittance portion of an account statement, the total of these adjustments may be transferred to the front side of the remittance portion, and deducted from the Amount Due. The remittance should be returned to our office along with the payment. If the total of all Adjustments are greater than the Amount Due, no payment is required, however the remittance portion must be returned to our office so that we are informed that a balance will be covered by sources other than personal payment. Upon receipt of the completed remittance form, our staff will verify the deductions and clear the student for Check in, provided all other requirements have been met.
Remittance Information:
All payments must be made in U.S. dollars; foreign checks or currency will not be accepted. Checks should be made payable to Dartmouth College and mailed with the remittance portion of the account statement. A return envelope will be provided. The student ID number should be referenced on checks. Dartmouth College does not accept credit card payments for tuition, room & board, and other student account charges.
Change of Billing Adress:
Student account statements for undergraduate students are mailed to the home (parent) address. Account statements for graduate students are mailed to their school address (Hinman Box). If it is required or preferable that the account statement be mailed to an alternate address, you may contact our office, or make the change to a Billing Address on Banner Student (www.dartmouth.edu/~bannerstudent).
