The Bursar's Office will issue statements to registered students for tuition, fees, and other charges four to six weeks prior to the beginning of classes each semester. The Amount Due on the statement is payable by the due date indicated on the statement.
As part of the admission agreement to Duke University, a student is required to pay all statements as presented. If full payment is not received, a late payment penalty charge will be assessed on the subsequent statement. Statements for undergraduate students are mailed in the student's name to their Permanent Home address as shown onACES. Statements for Graduate & Professional Students are now paperless. E-billing is your official billing method. Your current student account bill is available for you to view on ACES. Non-registered students will be required to make payment for the current term's tuition and fees, as well as any past due balance, at the time of registration.
Inquiries can be made at the Bursar's Office by e-mail at bursar @duke.edu, by fax at (919) 684-3091, or by telephone at (919) 684-3531. Current account information is available on the ACES website. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.Payments with remittance form:

Checks should be made payable to Duke University. Please write your account number on your check or money order. Please do not send cash.

Checks made payable in US dollars but drawn on foreign banks may be subject to bank fees.
Bank Wire:
When initiating your wire transfer, please remember to include the student’s full name and Student ID Number (listed on the invoice) in the “comments" section of the wire. Without this information, we will not be able to post the funds properly. Please have the sending bank fax a confirmation of the wire transfer to (919) 668-2189, ATTN: University Cashiering.
Service charges are normally assessed by both the sending bank and intermediary bank involved in completing the wire. In most cases, these fees are deducted from the wire before it reaches our bank. The student’s account will be credited for the actual amount received (net of fees assessed by the sending bank(s)).
Please do not send "spending" or "living expense" funds for a student to Duke University. The University is unable to transfer these funds to students on your behalf - you must send spending/living expense funds directly to your student. If these funds are received by the University, they will be applied to any outstanding charges on the student account. If there are no outstanding charges on the student account, or a significant credit balance results, we will contact the student and the party who sent the funds and make arrangements to either:
- return the funds to the party who made the payment, or
- hold the funds to be applied to a future term's changes
