Tuition, fees, board, and room rent charges for each semester must be paid in advance. Bills are sent to students' homes in July (for the fall semester) and in November (for the spring semester), approximately 30 days prior to the due date. Possible means by which these charges can be paid include the following:

1. QuikPAY online using e-check or MasterCard/Visa.
2. Cash, personal check, or money order.
3. MasterCard or Visa. Any portion of your semester bill may be charged on MasterCard or Visa cards subject to the terms and limitations of your (or your parents') current available credit.
4. Financial Aid. Financial aid awards listed on an official Award Notification letter from Student Financial Services. Credits are reflected for grants, scholarships, and loans each semester, as appropriate. College Work-Study awards indicate earning limits only and are never deducted from semester charges. For more information regarding the timing and processing of financial aid awards at KSC, you may review Notification of Financial Aid Award.
5. Federal Stafford and Parent PLUS loans. The College expects that all required paperwork and approvals for these loans will be submitted to your lender and/or SFS prior to the billing due date. These loans are usually processed electronically, with transfer of funds for loan amounts normally occurring during the first part of each semester.
6. Outside Scholarships. Advance credit against your current semester charges may be allowed for state grants or outside agency scholarships only if SFS has, on file, official notification from the granting agency stating the amount and conditions of the award commitment. Such credit will not appear on your bill, but the amount of the grant or scholarship may be deducted from the balance due if SFS has received official notification of the award prior to the due date of the bill.
7. Payment by Vocational Rehabilitation. The Bursar's Office must have written notice of intent to pay from the granting agency before credit can be allowed from this source.
8. Other Funding Options.
   
   • TuitionPay Payment Plan
   • Alternative Loans
   Arrangements for alternate financing through these private agencies must be made no later than mid-July (for fall semester) or early December (for spring semester) to ensure timely payment of semester charges.

Please Note: One of the above means of payment or arrangements for payment must be made prior to the due date stated on the bill or a $50 per month late payment fee will be added to the total balance owed. After all applicable credits, the remainder of the bill is then shown as a figure for "balance due." In the event that a bill shows a credit balance as a result of overpayment, that money will be released to you by SFS within 10 business days after the financial aid funds are applied to your account, provided you have submitted a Refund Request form. Such credit balances may be used for rent, food, books, transportation, etc.

Consequences of non-payment may include the assessment of late fees, deregistration from classes, and the application of holds preventing registration for classes, transcript release, and participation in Housing Selection. The student's account may also be assigned to an outside collection agency.
