Summer Sessions Payments

Summer Session enrollment at KU is different than during the Fall and Spring semesters. Due dates are assigned based on the date of registration.  Payment Plans are offered but are limited with the longer plan being available in March and early April.  Closer to the start of each session, payments are due immediately.  Summer tuition and fees are found here. All students are part-time in the summer.

Payment is defined as payment in full to KU directly, payment plan set up for a sufficient amount to cover the balance due and in good standing, pending Financial Aid showing on the account, 529 proof submitted for sufficient coverage of the balance due, waiver posted (with payment of non-covered items posted) OR a combination of these.

While classes will be dropped regularly as seen below, we do ask that if you know you will not need a class you registered for, that you log in and drop the class or request assistance from the Registrar's Office to do so; this will open the seat for another student who needs it.

**ALERT** - payment due dates are based on your date of registration.

  1. Pay your bill in full online on MyKU, in the Office of Student Accounts, or by mail (must arrive and post by due date).
  2. Payment Plan - We still want to offer you the option of breaking payments up for summer.
    • Go to MyKU > Student Account Card > Payment Dashboard > Payment Plans.
  3. Financial Aid - Complete a Summer Aid Application if interested and work with the Financial Aid Office with a sense of urgency!  Summer Aid is limited.
    • Summer aid eligibility is determined by many factors; was all aid used in Fall and Spring terms, the number of credits enrolled, financial aid progress and more! Sometimes taking an additional loan in Spring is a better option!
    • Aid is disbursed only when the credit that meets the eligibility starts (disbursement could occur in Summer 2 in some cases).
    • Summer Aid Application is available after Spring Break online on the Financial Aid Services website.  Simply completing the aid application doesn't extend a due date, so be proactive and file if interested.

  • When are Summer charges due?

    The chart below shows when your payment is due based on the date you were enrolled or registered.  Classes will be dropped shortly after the due date, do not delay.  To ensure your classes are secured - your charges must be fully covered.  Fully covered means you have paid for the course in full, you have a payment plan that covers the course in full, you have pending financial aid showing that is sufficient to cover the course in full, or a combination of these. If classes are dropped, you will be required to prepay first in order to register again for classes based on availability at that time.

  • How will I know my summer aid package?

    If a student used all of their 2024/2025 aid during the Fall and Spring semesters, a determination can be made quickly. If a student may have some aid left to use in the summer, financial aid will not be able to confirm how much and any award,until a student's Spring 2025 grades are posted. These grades are necessary to determine Financial Aid eligibility, as the student must still be making financial aid progress after Spring grades post (completed vs. attempted credits, progress, and GPA) in order to receive aid in the summer. If you have concerns about your eligibility, you can discuss them with the Financial Aid office. Call 610-683-4077 to contact Financial Aid. 

    If you are NOT eligible for Financial Aid, you will need to pay us directly in full, sign up for a payment plan based on your session of attendance, or investigate Alternative Loans.  Alternative Loan processing time can be quite lengthy, we highly encourage you to apply immediately (this process can take up to 2-4 weeks).  Some alternative loans have minimum GPA requirements, please be mindful of this.

  • When will my summer aid be disbursed to my account and/or refunded?

    Summer aid is processed a bit differently than aid during the academic year. If your Final Determination shows you are getting Stafford loans, the actual receipt of these funds cannot occur until after you start the 6th credit that makes you eligible for them (remember, to receive Stafford loans you have to take a minimum of 6 credits). For example, if you are taking 3 credits in Summer session 1 and 3 credits in Summer session 2, the 6th credit that makes you eligible for Stafford loans in session 2, and that is when your loans would disburse - not before. Plan accordingly for book / rent expenses. No refunds from an overpayment on your account can be issued until your account is actually in overpayment status and the aid has disbursed.

    Alternative Loans will disburse no sooner than 3 days after the Drop/Add period concludes for the term the loan is covering (discuss in detail with Fin Aid if you are taking courses in Summer 1 and Summer 2 as to when the loan will disburse). Please plan for book and course expenses.

  • I have more questions regarding Summer Aid - where can I look?

    The Summer Financial Aid webpage is helpful, or you can call 610-683-4077, or e-mail financialaid@kutztown.edu, for additional guidance and direction.  The online summer aid application is on that page as well.

  • I am not a KU student, but taking a summer class and want to use financial aid, what do I do?

    Welcome to KU!  We are glad you are spending some of your summer with us! 

    PASSHE students - If you are using aid at your HOME school, please obtain proof from your Financial Aid office showing your summer aid potential. There may be documents you need to complete with them about your attendance at KU. Do this as early as possible so that there is time to process aid needs whether you are using federal aid or alternative loans. You may also want to use the payment plan option to tide you until the aid can process and refund to you from your HOME school. Contact us for more info.

    Non-PASSHE students - At your HOME school, you will need to work with them regarding any eligibility you may have.  You can apply for an alternative loan during the summer as well through your HOME school.  Since we cannot confirm or verify your aid at your HOME school, we would encourage you to use the payment plan opportunity to allow you more time to have your aid processed at your HOME school, refund you and then pay the plan off when you get your funding.  We are willing to discuss options with you, contact us!
