Keith L. Ratzloff, University Controller
The following schedule of tuition and fees was in effect at the time this catalog was prepared. There is no guarantee this schedule will not be changed without notice before the beginning of any semester.
Students will be assessed for all hours in which they are enrolled, including those for which the grade of W is recorded. Students withdrawing from courses are eligible for refunds in accordance with the refund policy.
Students receiving scholarships or grants not processed through the K-State Office of Student Financial Assistance before registration will be required to pay the full amount of their tuition and fees from personal resources.
Unless a deferment is granted, students should pay the total amount of their semester tuition and fees by the due date on the statement of account they receive and should use a check for exact amount, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. A special handling fee is assessed for students who enroll after the start of classes and a 1.5% default charge is assessed for any balance billed but not paid by the due date.
If the student's eligibility to receive financial aid is verifiable, the director of student financial assistance may authorize the deferment of payment of tuition and fees in accordance with the Board of Regents Policy and Procedures Manual (Chapter 2, Section E). The student's obligation to pay regularly assessed tuition and fees is not reduced by an approval to defer payment.
1. Those students who have fulfilled the application requirements and whose awards have been made by the June packaging date, but whose aid has not been disbursed. Deferments may be granted only to the approved level of financial aid eligibility. The amount of tuition and fees over and above the anticipated financial aid award must be paid by the student.
2. Veterans receiving benefits. Full tuition/fee deferment.
3. International students. Full tuition/fee deferment.
Tuition and fee payment checks that are returned uncollectible by financial institutions will be subject to a $30 charge, in addition to all other fees.
The university withholds students' academic records for nonpayment of tuition and fees, loans, and other appropriate charges and for no return of university property. The student will also not be allowed further enrollment when tuition or fees are past due.
This fee is the student's contribution toward the costs of instruction and covers approximately 20 to 25 percent of the instructional costs.
The Kansas State University privilege fee provides students with services, activities, and supplemental educational opportunities tailored to fulfill their academic and personal goals.
Examples of privilege fees include:
This fee aids the academic achievement and progress of underrepresented K-State students.
For a description of the services provided by this fee, see the section on Lafene Health Center in this catalog.
This fee is used for repairs and replacements at the K-State Student Union.
In 1991 a student referendum was passed allowing bonds to be issued to support the expansion of the Recreation Complex. This bond issue is to be retired by the continuation of part of the previously assessed fee for the retirement of the original construction bond indebtedness.
1992 student legislation provided for the continuation of a portion of the debt retirement fee previously assessed for the Bramlage Coliseum bonds following their retirement in May of 1993.
In 1991 a student referendum was passed providing for a $5 million commitment by students to partially fund the expansion of the library. This commitment is to provide a bond issue to be retired, in part, by a continuation of student debt service fees which were previously assessed for the retirement of Bramlage and Holton Hall bonds.
This fee is used for a range of student interests and activities.
This fee is used for the administration, support, and operation of the K-State Student Union.
This fee supports the Collegian and Royal Purple.
This fee supports the Recreation Complex (equipment, interior upkeep, supplies, etc.).
This fee supports the student radio station (equipment, means of service to operate the station, recent upgrade of power wattage, etc.).
This fee supports intercollegiate athletics.
This fee supports fine arts programming (theater, dance, music, art, etc.).
This fee was implemented to separate the administrative operating budget of the Student Governing Association and its entities from the student activity fee, thus removing it from competition with general student groups within the same funding pool.
This fee will enable the K-State Student Union to expand the building and enhance and improve infrastructure deficiencies. The finished product will create an environment that will serve the needs of its customers much more efficiently.
This fee allows the Union Program Council to select a broad variety of events and attract current national talents to the campus.
The following schedule of fees was in effect at the time this catalog was prepared. There is no guarantee this schedule will not change without notice. A schedule of fees for Kansas State University at Salina follows this section.
A current comprehensive fee schedule can be found on the Controller's Office website (www.k-state.edu/pay) under “tuition and fee schedule.”
This schedule does not limit the charges that may be collected under arrangements with other governmental or private agencies, except that such arrangements may not provide for lesser charges. Compensatory or other charges to more nearly cover the actual cost of instruction are specifically authorized.

aStudents enrolled in a spring semester but not attending summer semester, may use Lafene Health Center services during the summer by paying the health privilege fee assessed a summer student enrolled in 6 or more credit hours, due prior to receiving services.
