Students must have all previous balances paid in full before registering for the current semester.

Billing and Bill Paying:

Student Accounting Services will send a monthly notification to all students who have an outstanding account balance. The statement is mailed during the last week of each month to the student's mailing address, unless otherwise requested. It is important that the University be informed of all address changes. Payments are due approximately the 21st of each month for all students. We will bill students for the amount that is due each month.

Bills not paid in full by the given due date are subject to a late payment fee of 10% of the account balance due, up to $25.00 per month. Late fees are assessed after the due date each month for any past due balances.

Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the student of obligation to pay by the deadline or incur late charges.

In the event a student fails to pay in full or make acceptable payment arrangements with the EKU Student Accounting Services office, that student is subject to collection agency action after 90 days. Should this happen, the student will be responsible for collection costs, reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and all other expenses incurred in collection of, or attempting to collect, the obligations. Collection costs can be in excess of 50% of the outstanding balance.

NOTE: Citing the Family Education and Privacy Act of 1974, Financial Affairs staff cannot disclose to the parent information about the student’s account to anyone other than the student, other than giving total amounts due. In order for someone other than to student to obtain details on the account from any Student Accounting Services employee, such as a spouse or parent, that student should write a note giving permission for staff to discuss his/her account with this person, and include the student's signature.
