Money Matters

Gift Certificates
An individual, or business, may purchase a gift certificate to be used toward credit or non-credit class tuition and/or fees associated with class attendance. The certificate may be issued in any dollar amount, but it must be used within one year from the date of purchase. Please contact the Business Office at 541-882-3521 for further information regarding certificate purchases and redemptions.

Payment Responsibility
Students who have applied for Financial Aid and have returned a signed award letter, or have obtained written payment confirmation from a third party and who have appropriate documentation on file in the Business Office, may register for classes without making payment by the first day of class. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that written agency authorization is received by the College. Please be aware that students are legally responsible for payment should third party payment or other aid payments not be received by the College for any reason. It is important that students keep track of any balances not covered by Financial Aid or third party payments, and pay them in a timely manner. If these uncovered balances are not paid by the due date, late fees will be applied and administrative withdrawal from class(es) may occur. If students are receiving financial assistance from sources outside of the College, they must work closely with those sources to meet KCC’s registration deadlines.

Auditing a Class
If you wish to participate in a course, but do not wish to receive credit or a grade, you may register for the course under the audit option. Tuition and fees are the same as registration for a grade and credit. Federal Financial Aid does not pay for auditing a course.

An audit carries no credit and does not meet degree requirements or contribute to full-time student status. Students wishing to change from credit to audit, or audit to credit, must do so by the add/drop deadline. To apply for credit for audited courses, students must repeat the course as a regular registered class member or follow the challenge procedure.

To qualify for Federal Financial Aid you must:

  • File a Free Application for Federal Student Aid [FAFSA] on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov or by using forms available at the College;
  • Be a United States citizen or an eligible non-citizen;
  • If you are a male between the ages of 18 and 25, be registered with the United States Selective Service;
  • Not be in default or owe a refund to any Title IV Financial Aid Program;
  • Use the money you receive to meet the costs of attending KCC;
  • Be enrolled in a KCC degree or certificate program;
  • Maintain Financial Aid eligibility by making academic progress toward your declared degree or certificate;
  • Demonstrate the ability to benefit from the education, or have a high school diploma or GED certificate.
