Refund Policy
Students who need to leave the program are given a pro-rated refund as described in the enrollment agreement and the DAOM Student Handbook.
Financial Aid
Federal financial aid is currently unavailable for the Doctoral program. Students will be able to receive private alternative loans from lenders. These loans are based on the individual’s and/or co-signers’ credit.
Students who attend the Doctoral Program and are taking 6 or more units can have an In-School Deferment signed by Five Branches University for their Federal Stafford Loans or Consolidated Federal Loans. There is no limit to the time a student can receive this deferment as long as they are registered for at least two-thirds of the program.
