Tuition and Fees for Credit Classes

E-Bills

Beginning April 14th, 2009, with the first summer 2009 (2009-03) bill, DMACC began a paperless billing process.

Students will receive an e-mail from Student Accounts that contains the subject line:  Your DMACC Billing Statement is ready to view.  The e-mail will contain an attachment that students will open that looks exactly like the paper bill they would have normally received.

The e-mail will be sent to student’s DMACC e-mail address and any other personal e-mail address that the student has provided to DMACC.

Student’s can update their personal e-mail address in the DMACC WebInfo System in “Update Personal Information” Students can also go online at anytime to view and/or print their bills using the DMACC WebInfo System.  Students will need to:

  • Log into the WebInfo System
  • Click on Student Services and Financial Aid
  • Click on Student Account and Statement and Payment History to find their most recent bill

How Do I Make My Payment?

  1. Complete an option from A-E, listed above;
    or
