STUDENT PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Financial responsibility begins at the time of registration. When a student registers for a class, they are liable for payment of the charges associated with that class. If a student does not attend class(es), the student must officially drop from the class(es) within the specified add/drop period. (See Admissions & Records Policy - page 16) or full charges will occur. Students are responsible for keeping Kaskaskia College informed of any address or telephone changes.

To avoid being dropped for non-payment, payment in full or payment arrangements must be made prior to each term’s posted due date.

Students who wish to budget payment of their tuition must enroll in the Nelnet automatic payment plan by the pre-arranged deadline. Register at www.kaskaskia.edu by clicking on myKC and logging in. Then click on financial information - students. Next click on the Nelnet Payment Plan option and follow the instructions.

Students utilizing financial aid must confirm their eligibility with the KC Financial Aid Office. Financial assistance includes scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. All students should complete the FAFSA to determine eligibility. Students whose employer is paying their tuition must present the purchase order, tuition assistance form or letter of intent on company letterhead at the time of registration.

Any balance of tuition and fees or other charges are to be paid in full by the student by posted deadline. Students who have outstanding balances will be denied future registration privileges, grades, transcripts and diplomas.

REFUND OF TUITION AND FEES

A student enrolling in a class automatically assumes the responsibility of properly dropping the class(es) when the student decides not to attend or complete the course.

A refund of tuition and fees cannot be made unless a student officially drops the class in the Office of Admissions and Records. (Even if the student has not paid their fees, they will be charged for the class if they do not officially drop it). Refunds will be computed from the date that the written request to be dropped from a class is received in the Office of Admissions and Records and will be based on the following schedule:

Eight Week Classes* During First Week of Term 100%

After First Week of Term 0% Sixteen Week Classes* During First Two Weeks of Term 100%

After Second Week of Term 0% and withdraws from all classes may be subject to the federal refund policy. For more information, contact the Financial Aid Office.

For courses not conducted following the regular calendar terms, the tuition refund shall be computed on the fractional part of the class time used before the classes are dropped. For additional information, please contact the Admissions and Records Office.

SENIOR CITIZEN WAIVER

By a resolution of the Board of Trustees, Kaskaskia College extends a waiver of tuition and activity fees to residents of the district who have attained the age of 65 at the time of registration. The waiver is applicable to tuition for credit classes and mandatory fees only and does not include course fees or tuition for non-credit classes. The waiver is applicable to those courses where the minimum number of tuition paid registrants has been received and space is available up to the maximum class enrollment.

EMPLOYER IN-DISTRICT

Out-of-District students who are employed full-time within District 501 may qualify for in-district rates. The required form is available in the Admissions and Records Office and must be completed each semester. The in-district employer must complete a new form each semester.

CAREER COMPREHENSIVE AGREEMENT REGARDING EXPANSION OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

Kaskaskia College is participating in the Comprehensive Agreement Regarding Expansion of Educational Resources (CAREER) whereby Kaskaskia College students may attend community colleges throughout Illinois at in-district rates. CAREER participation is limited to programs of study (not individual courses) not offered at Kaskaskia College. Students who wish to enroll in a program at Kaskaskia College that is not available in their home district should request a letter from that district designating them as participants in an approved program. Upon receipt of that letter, Kaskaskia College will then be able to charge them in-district fees. For more information, call (618) 545-3000.

NON-CREDIT COURSE REFUND

Student Withdrawal Policy—Students registering for Community Education courses may cancel their registration and receive a refund until the date of the class.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS TO THE COLLEGE

Students who have failed to meet financial obligations and/or to return materials to the College may be kept from registering and from receiving grade reports, diplomas, certificates, and transcripts. At the end of each semester, students with unpaid tuition and fees will be referred to the College’s Collection Agency.
