Students will also spend an average of $900 for books and supplies and will need to budget for personal and travel expenses during the academic year.

Refunds & Cost Adjustments

• Student Accounts evaluates and refunds credit balances on a regular basis.
• Setting up an account for e refunding is encouraged.
• Students should not plan to use their refund check to pay for rent for an off-campus residence. We cannot guarantee that a refund check will be ready by a student’s rent deadline.
• If a paper check is issued it will be mailed to the preferred mailing address that is on file
• If a student’s financial aid exceeds the balance due on the payment plan, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the payment plan servicer and reduce the plan amount if they choose.

Please Note:

• Some financial aid programs may not be disbursed until well into the semester, especially for first-time KSC students; please plan accordingly.
• Credit balances from federal financial aid (Title IV funds) cannot be held from one academic year to another.
• Regardless of who remitted the payment to the student account, the refund will be made payable to the student (unless the student requests in writing that they would like the refund made payable to someone other than themselves), except for credit balances produced by a Federal Parent PLUS loan.

Cost Adjustments

Students who change their course load or withdraw from the College:

• Before the first day of the semester will have their costs adjusted with the exception of non-refundable deposits.
• After the first day of the semester will have their costs adjusted, with the exception of mandatory fees, based on the College’s Policy (below). There is no adjustment of Mandatory Fees after the semester begins.

Please Note:

• Course load definition: 12–20 credits is full–time; 11 credits or fewer is part–time.
• Cost adjustments may or may not result in a refund.
• Financial aid recipients, including Federal Direct Student and/or Parent PLUS loans, are subject to federally mandated guidelines that must be applied before any money is returned.

A student who withdraws from the College or changes her or his course load will have their Tuition, Room, and Board (meal plan) costs adjusted as follows:

Fall/Spring Semester

• 75% within 7 calendar days of the first day of the semester.
• 50% within 8–30 calendar days after the first day of the semester.

Summer Semester

Important:

• Students who are studying away under the auspices of KSC’s Global Education Office’s off-campus programs should refer to the acceptance letter or program materials for specific withdrawal and cost adjustment policies regarding their program.
• Students who are suspended or dismissed for disciplinary reasons forfeit their right to any cost adjustments.
