Award Letters
Award notifications will be posted to an online award letter on the Student Portal (my.densem.edu). To
accept any award, students must log in and complete the required steps on the award letter. Additional
required application steps are also listed on the award letter (such as entrance counseling and a master
promissory note for first-time loan recipients, or the thank you letter for scholarship recipients; see the
application section for additional details).
Payment Arrangement Deadline
Tuition and fees for each fall and spring semester have a payment deadline of noon, ten calendar days
prior to the start of the semester, with the exception of the intersession and summer terms, when payment
is required by the Friday before the first class starts. Payment can be made by having 100 percent of the
tuition/fees balance covered by a combination of direct payment, payment plan, and/or financial aid.
Awards accepted through the award letter will appear on the student's registration bill under My Finances
on the MyDenSem Student Portal.
Students who need assistance with calculating a combination of financial aid, payment plan and/or direct
payment(s) may find the net price calculator on the school's website to be a helpful tool. Online
Calculators are found here: https://denverseminary.edu/admissions/financial-aid/financial-aid-calculator/.
Disbursements
Direct Loans are disbursed (paid) to all eligible accounts beginning on the first day of the semester.
Institutional Aid (scholarships, grants, discounts) are disbursed to student accounts starting during the
second week of each semester. Refund checks are for students who have a credit balance after their tuition
and fees are paid. These checks will begin to be mailed during the end of the second week of classes. If a
student wishes to not receive any excess loan funds, they have 14 days from the day the loan pays to their
student account to tell the Financial Aid office. Any requests received after these 14 days will not be
considered and the student will need to contact their Loan servicer to return the excess loan. Loan Servicer
information can be found here: https://www.studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action.
Right to Cancel
Students have the right to cancel any accepted awards at any time. The process will depend on the timing
of the request. Contact the Financial Aid Office for details.
