Spring  Tuition Invoices - most recently updated 3/13/12

Spring invoices are typically invoiced online in early December (email notification sent at the same time) and due January 1st of the upcoming year.  Steps 1-3 are critical to secure a schedule.

The account summary on your Student Center page is not your invoice - that is a total of the amount due to KU - this could be from personal amounts due, anticipated financial aid and more.  To know how much you specifically owe, you will want to look at the actual invoice.  Invoices contain the KU logo, student name and address, prior balance, current activity, anticipated aid, balance due, term summary, schedule listing and a payment coupon should you wish to send in your payment via snail mail.

Monthly Invoice Notification - example from Spring 2012 invoicing

Kutztown University sends email notifications of activity in MyKU.  Paper invoices will not be mailed.

KU will be closed from noon 12/23/11 through 8am 1/3/12 - we will not be responding to calls or emails during this time. Please ensure your payment arrives by the 1/3/12 due date. Assistance with most inquiries can be found on our website: www.kutztown.edu/admin/bursar

Please note: The amounts due on the main Student Center page do not account for anticipated Financial Aid or scholarships. You MUST look at the actual invoice to see the actual amount due, with any anticipated aid reductions. Using the main Student Center page figures, may cause you to overpay. Changes to your account after invoicing should be reviewed online, next invoice is Jan.

For most of you, this is your SPRING 2012 initial Email notification (any recent fall/winter charges may appear in the current activity section as well). This new monthly statement is similar to a credit card statement where it shows a prior balance, current activity, and a new balance due.

Incidental charges will not be paid with your Financial aid per federal regulations, unless you Grant Permissions to us to do so. Even if you bill shows you have enough aid to cover a minor fee like an ID replacement.  See our site for the steps to do this.

Common Topics of Concern and Where to Turn:

Financial Aid - If you don’t see the Financial Aid you expected to see on your bill, that means it is not in good standing and we are not considering it as payment towards your bill. This could be because of a late loan application, late FAFSA completion, non-completion of Entrance Counseling or MPN’s, loss of FA eligibility, or verification documents are still outstanding.

1. The Bursar’s Office cannot defer your bill because you are working on loan matters. Only Financial Aid can do this, and ONLY if the loan is finalized, approved and been sent to us for certification.
2. You may need to sign up for the payment plan, make the first payment and then be reimbursed at a later date if you cannot resolve your aid matters by the due date.
3. ALL Financial Aid deferments are handled by the Financial Aid office.

2. financialaid@kutztown.edu

TAP/529 - If you have a TAP/529 account, please print your invoice and submit like you normally do. Provide the Bursar’s Office with proof of that request submission so that we can defer your account while that payment is processed as we do understand it can take a few weeks to be sent. Please scan and email this proof, or fax it to us at 610-683-4674.

Payment Plan - Click on the payment plan link on your student center page to sign up with Tuition Pay by Sallie Mae - our plan administrator - a plan costs $35.00. This is not a loan, but a payment plan.

Military?
You must provide proof of your benefit and contact the Bursar's Office every semester. Since benefits do expire and can be exhausted, we cannot transfer exemptions from term to term.
