Financing Options
Tuition and charges are due by July 15 for the fall semester and December 15 for the spring semester. Full payment for all balances not covered by a Tuition Management Systems payment plan (described below), properly documented student loan, or properly documented outside aid award must be received by those dates.

The King's College provides monthly payment plans through Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to help families manage payment of bills with minimal borrowing. These plans allow families to spread their payments over the course of the academic year. A typical plan would consist of ten monthly payments from July through April. A yearly charge of $60 or $45 per semester is charged by TMS for the plan and paid directly to them. Arrangements must be made to enroll in a TMS plan by payment due date for the respective semester.

Any student with an outstanding balance not covered by a TMS payment plan, properly documented student loan, or properly documented outside aid award may not attend classes until their bill is paid in full or arrangements have been made with TMS. A late payment fee of 1.5 percent of the outstanding balance will be charged monthly until past due installments are paid in full.

Students with such balances may also not move into housing until actual payment or TMS payment plan arrangements have been made. Failure to pay housing charges violates the dormitory agreement and may result in eviction.

There are no installment payment plans available for summer sessions. All tuition for summer sessions is due by the first day of class.

Withdrawal and Refund Policy
Students who withdraw from a course will be entitled to a refund of tuition and/or fees in keeping with the schedule below. The following schedule is based upon the date the written drop (withdrawal) request is received by the Registrar:

Fall and Spring Semester
1st week	100% Refund
2nd week	75% Refund
3rd week	50% Refund
4th week	25% Refund
After 4th week	No Refund

Six week Summer Sessions
1st week	70% Refund
2nd week	30% Refund
After 2nd week	No Refund

The refund schedule will be prorated for classes shorter than six weeks.

Note: When a semester begins on a day other than Monday, a week will be a seven calendar day period from the day of the week the semester began.

Failure to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal and does not entitle the student to a refund of tuition. Students who are administratively withdrawn for poor attendance will not receive any refunds.

Financial Clearance
Any outstanding balances, including tuition, fees and interest remaining at the end of a semester will result in final grades being withheld. All balances must be cleared in order to register for the following semester or to receive a transcript. Diplomas will be withheld from graduating students until the balances are cleared.
