Payment Policies
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that payment is made by the required
date, regardless of the financial source. Please see Payment Responsibilities on page
14.
KCC accepts most traditional forms of payment including cash [U.S. Dollars only],
checks, money orders, and Mastercard or VISA.
Student’s name and Account ID must be clearly identified on all payments. This
information will assist the College in properly crediting payments.
Third party payment arrangements are made as a courtesy of the Business
Office. Third-party payment authorizations may be available through agencies or
companies, Financial Aid, scholarships, and veterans’ educational benefits. To avoid
a late fee, third party authorizations must be on file by the add/drop deadline.
Failure to make timely payments or to make satisfactory payment arrangements by
the due date may result in late fees and/or administrative withdrawal from classes.
Prior Term unpaid balances must be paid in full before registering for another
Term. Other college services such as grades, transcripts, diplomas, registration
privileges, or any combination thereof may be withheld if students do not make
satisfactory arrangements to meet their financial obligation to the College. KCC
and OIT provide concurrent notification to one another of student holds.
Installment Plan
Two installment plans are available at the Cashier’s desk for students, depending on
the account balance. If the account balance is $275-$549, an arrangement for two
equal payments is available. If the account balance is $550 or more, an arrangement
for three equal payments is available. Installment agreements must be entered into
by the add/drop deadline. Students who fail to meet the terms of the agreement will
be assessed late fees and may be withdrawn from the class(es). Balances must be
paid in full prior to registering for another term.
Refunds
An Add/Drop form must be completed by the student and processed by Student
Services in order for the Business Office to process refunds. No refunds will be
provided for withdrawals or drops made after the Drop Deadlines [shown below].
Credit balances resulting from payments made by third party sponsors, Financial
Aid, or scholarships will be returned to the originator.
If the College cancels a class, enrollees are entitled to a full refund of tuition and
applicable fees for that class. Students dropping a class will be issued a refund based
upon the following criteria:
| CLASS LENGTH | DROP DEADLINE | REFUND AMOUNT |
| 8-12 weeks | By the 1st Friday of the term | 100% |
| 2-7 weeks | By end of first day of classes | 100% |
| Less than 2 weeks | Prior to first class meeting | 100% |
