<p>hey, is anyone familiar with the monthly payment plan at dartmouth. I've signed up for it and have payed the first payment, but am confused about one thing-- What will end up appearing on my D-pay student account? will there be nothing since its being taken care of by an outside source?</p>

<p>also, if i'm paying my tuition, room, and board through the sallie mae tuition plan, when i order my computer through dartmouth, will that be the only thing on my student account, and would i then pay for it in the fall billing?</p>

<p>any help or comments whatsoever would be appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>Poor Lugburz, nobody answered you.</p>

<p>I'm a parent of an '11.</p>

<p>Yes, the computer wound up appearing on the bills, and No, I hadn't factored it into the monthly payments. So we wound up owing a big bunch of extra money. Not fun. But hey -- you can either pay it in monthly installments or pay it all at once. No difference, at the end of the day.</p>

<p>Not sure it still works this way but a few years ago the computer purchase was the one thing that outside scholarships could be applied againt without reducing the amount of Dartmouth scholarship.</p>

<p>I don't think that's still the case, even if it was like that a while back</p>

<p>That would be nice, but I just consulted the web site since my S got an outside scholarship, and they say that it will be applied to loans, if any, and to work study.</p>

<p>It might still work - I think that you would apply for a loan for the purpose of purchasing the computer and then request that the outside scholarship be applied against that - same difference really, now that I think of it.</p>

<p>My daughter will be an OOS student at the CU Boulder. I ran across the salle mae tuition pay plan (although CU is not listed as a school that participates).</p>

<p>Does anyone have any information about how this works? It would certainly be easier to make monthly payment than throw down 20,000+ in September.</p>

<p>Thanks for any information.</p>

<p>Uh... does ^ that post have to do with Dartmouth?</p>
