How often are student account statements generated?

The fall semester student account statement is issued in early July and the spring statement is issued in early December. These statements list basic semester charges for tuition, fees, and room and food. Additional statements for personal charges, including bookstore, health services, laundry, and other miscellaneous charges, are issued on a monthly basis.

What are the "Memo" and "Authorized Financial Aid" items on my statement?

"Memoed Financial Aid" and "Authorized Financial Aid" are items that are part of a student’s financial aid award, but the actual funds have not yet been posted to the student’s account. These items are displayed on the first three statements of each semester to assist in determining the actual balance due. It is assumed that all appropriate financial aid procedures have been followed and students may check the status of their financial aid by accessing insideND. Items that appear as "Memoed Financial Aid", "Authorized Financial Aid" or "Pre-Authorized Credits" will appear on future statements until the funds are received.

Can I print my monthly statement for tax purposes?

​​​​​​Students and authorized payers have the ability to print monthly statements for billing, payment, and tax records for any month in which a statement was generated. To do so, log in to IRISHPAY and select the following options:

  • "View and Pay Accounts"
  • "Statement History" tab
  • Select the PDF download icon for any statement available.
What is the health service charge on my account/statement?

The Office of Student Accounts is supplied with the amount of the health service charge, but, for privacy reasons, the office is not informed of the specific service. University Health Services will have supplied the student with an itemized statement of the service(s) provided and the cost(s) that will be charged to the student account, which may be submitted to their insurance provided for reimbursement. If the student needs more information about a particular health service charge, they may contact University Health Services, visit in person, or call 574-631-7497.

How do students access their student account statement?

Students will be notified via email when their monthly statement is available.

Students can access their student account statements through IRISHPAY by following these steps outlined below:

  • Log in to InsideND
  • Enter IRISHPAY in the search bar
  • Click on the "IRISHPAY" for Students’ application
  • Enter your netID and password when prompted
  • Select "View & Pay Accounts"
Why does my Federal Work Study or Campus Employment appear on my Financial Aid Notification, but not on my online statement?

The Federal Work Study or Campus Employment in the Financial Aid Notification represents employment eligibility. Undergraduate students are paid bi-weekly via direct deposit to their personal checking accounts for the number of hours worked. Because the student is paid directly, these funds do not appear as a credit on the student’s account. If you have additional questions, please contact Student Employment at 574-631-6454.

Why am I being charged for health insurance?

International students and graduate students are automatically enrolled in and charged for the student health insurance plan. Students who do not wish to participate in this plan, and who have other comparable health insurance coverage, may submit a request to waive the health insurance. Please note that the waiver request must be submitted annually by the published deadline or the student will be responsible for paying the cost of the insurance. Please visit the University Health Services website for information on the current insurance rates and the waiver request process.

What does the Room and Food charge include?

The Room and Food charge on your student account statement includes the cost of your on-campus residence hall room and the standard meal plan (Block 250). For additional information regarding on-campus housing and on-campus meal plans, please visit Residential Life and/or Campus Dining.

I am receiving a full scholarship; why do I owe a balance?

Certain fees and costs such as the graduate student activity fee are not covered by the tuition scholarship. Graduate students are responsible for paying this fee each fall semester. Additional costs, such as incidental purchases (bookstore, parking, etc.), are generally not covered by scholarships. Please check with your department to confirm which costs are covered. It is your responsibility to ensure that all charges billed to your student account are paid by the due date on your billing statement.

What is the graduate student activity fee on my account/statement?

The Graduate Student Activity Fee is charged in the fall semester to all graduate students to cover the cost of all graduate student activities including, but not limited to, lectures/seminars, graduate student officer stipend, and office overhead. The fee also partially reimburses expenses incurred by graduate students during travel to conferences and meetings to present work conducted in the student’s major field of study. Please note that this fee is not covered by the graduate tuition scholarship and is the responsibility of the student to cover.

My student is studying abroad for the the fall or spring semester, why am I being charged for a program fee?

Students who are studying abroad will be charged a program fee which is the equivalent to our main campus room and food charge. For further information regarding what this fee covers, please contact the Notre Dame International Office.

My student is studying abroad for the the fall or spring semester, why am I being charged for a program administrative fee?

The program administrative fee is a per semester fee charged to undergraduate students. It provides for University of Notre Dame credits and grades for approved courses in the program. It also provides funding for publicizing the program, advising students, communicating with program’s home university or institute, communicating with interested Notre Dame faculty, and administration of students' participation in the program. For further information regarding what this fee covers, please contact the Notre Dame International Office.

What is "Pre-Authorized Credits" on my statement?

"Pre-Authorized Credits" are estimated payments that our office is to receive from either a College Savings 529 plan that you/your family have or an estimated payment from a special billing partner. This item is displayed on the first three statements of each semester (July, August, September, December, January and February) to assist in determining the actual balance due.
