Student Finance Policies and Procedures



Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees are charged each academic term. Tuition and fee schedules are set by the KHSC-KansasCOM Board of Trustees annually. Tuition and fee schedules are posted to the KHSC-KansasCOM website and are the reference point for students for the most current up-to-date rates. Click Here for Additional Tuition and Fees Information.

Ancillary Fees

Kansas Health Science Center (KHSC-KansasCOM) may have ancillary fees each academic year. This fee schedule will be published on the website and will be the single point of reference for staff and students. These fees are used on an as needed basis depending on the nature of the situation. Past due payment fees will be posted automatically by Student Accounts once a month until the student's past due payment and/or balance has been satisfied.

Payment Plan Options:

In School Payment Plan

Student Accounts can accept credit card payments over the phone. Accepted credit cards are: Mastercard, Visa, and Discover. Credit card payments may also be made through the student portal. Tuition is due in full for all students before the last day of the first week of a new trimester. This requirement will be waived if a student intends to use financial aid (including loans) to pay tuition in full and has completed all financial aid paperwork required prior to the start of the trimester.

Students may reduce the amount of tuition due the first week of the trimester by establishing a payment plan with a Student Accounts advisor prior to the start of the trimester. Payment plans include a maximum of three payments each trimester. Accounts with outstanding balances not covered by financial aid or a payment plan will be considered delinquent after the last day of the first week of each trimester after a five-day grace period. A past due payment fee will be charged each month until the balance has been paid or until the payment plan is current. All account balances must be satisfied in full prior to the next trimester. Tuition statements will not be produced, and a student is responsible for checking their account through the student portal for any balances owed.

Out of School Payment Plan

A former student no longer actively enrolled with the institution (inclusive of withdrawn, dismissed, or graduated) may owe a balance. If a balance remains on a student’s account, a final statement will be mailed. A student’s diploma, transcripts, school records, and other final documentation will be released after the balance is paid in full.

Former students may be eligible for an Out of School Payment Plan but missed payments may result in cancellation of the payment plan and prevent the former student from future participation in this payment plan option. Out of School Payment plans may be established with a Student Accounts advisor.

If the balance is not paid in full, a payment plan is not set up within 90 days of the withdrawal date, or the former student is past due on a payment plan, the balance may be sent to a collection agency. The institution reserves the right to deny or cancel the payment plan option for any individual.

Direct Bill Payment Plan

A student who is eligible for partial or full-tuition payment by a third-party source may apply for the Direct Bill Payment Plan. A Direct Bill Payment Plan is not contingent upon a grade and/or completion of a course and is payable directly to KHSC-KCOM A payment plan or one time payment may be set up according to the employer policy. 

Third-party billing sources may be: an employer, scholarship foundation, government (such as AmeriCorps or Upward Mobility program) or military tuition assistance. A student must submit a payment voucher or letter that includes the name of the student and program, amount to be paid, payment method (check or credit card), trimester for which tuition is to be paid. 

All vouchers or letters must be submitted to the Office of Student Accounts no later than the end of the first week of each trimester. The student is responsible for establishing a secured payment method by the first week of the trimester for the remaining balance not being paid by the third-party source. 

Payments are due from the third-party source within 30 calendar days of invoicing or else a registration hold and a late fee will be applied to the student’s account. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all required documents are received by the third party and that payment is submitted in a timely manner. Final grades for a trimester in which a student has an outstanding financial balance will be withheld until the financial balance for the trimester is paid. 

Refund and Cancellation Policy

Any student wishing to withdraw from all courses and leave KHSC-KansasCOM must notify the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Services through the process as outlined in the Withdrawal and Leave of Absence Policy. All academic records will be on hold until all the student’s financial obligations are satisfied.

Students who withdraw from a KHSC-KansasCOM course after the published drop deadline, but prior to completing 25 percent of the course, will receive a refund of eligible tuition based on the percentage of the course completed. Students who have attended more than 25 percent of a course are not eligible for a refund.

Any monies due to a student shall be refunded within 60 days from the last day of attendance or within 60 days from the receipt of payment if the date of receipt of payment is after the student’s last date of attendance.

Veterans and VA Students Refund Policy (GI Bill® Recipients) 

VA students attending this facility will be given a pro rata refund which is prorated on a daily basis.  The exact proration will be determined on the ratio of the number of days of instruction completed by the veteran/VA student to the total number of instructional days in the course.  In the event that the veteran/VA student fails to enter the course or withdraws or is discontinued there from at any time prior to completion of the course, the unused portion of the tuition, fees and other charges paid by the individual shall be refunded promptly, within 40 days.  Registration fee above $10 is subject to proration.  

VA students will not be required to apply for this refund; it will be made when the school becomes aware of the individual’s failure to enter the course, withdrawal or other discontinuance there from.  If this institution ever applies a more favorable refund policy for the general student population it shall be applied to veterans/VA students as well.
