Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees are charged each academic term. Tuition and fee schedules are set by the KHSU-KansasCOM Board of Trustees annually. Tuition and fee schedules are posted to the KHSU-KansasCOM website and are the reference point for students for the most current up-to-date rates.
Ancillary Fees
Kansas Health Science University (KHSU-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A former student no longer actively enrolled with the institution (inclusive of withdrawn, dismissed, or graduated) may owe a balance.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.
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 KHSU-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 entity 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, and 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.
