Payments and Refunds
Payments
You have a variety of payment options that you can use. Tuition and fees may be paid
via cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Current
students (those already enrolled) can make tuition payments on-line using their Student Self-Service account.
We also offer a payment plan that enables you to pay tuition and fees during the course
of the semester. Learn how to sign up for a payment plan here.

Refunds
Tuition Refunds
In order to receive a tuition refund, a student must officially withdraw within the
refund period specified within this policy. Refunds for sessions different from those
listed below are prorated according to the session in proportion to the traditional
16-week session. A session is defined as an enrollment period within an academic term.
An academic term (fall, spring, or summer) may have a number of session(s) running
concurrently 15-12-8 or 5 week. Calendar days of the session, include all Saturdays
and Sundays, but exclude KCTCS recognized holidays. Consult with the Gateway business office for specifics.
| Session | 100 percent | 50 percent | No refund |
| 15-week | Within 7 days | 8th - 29th days | After 29th day |
| 12-week | Within 5 days | 6th - 22nd days | After 23rd day |
| 8-week | Within 4 days | 5th - 15th days | After 15th day |
| 5-week | Within 3 days | 4th - 11th days | After 11th day |
Financial Aid Refunds
After all tuition and expenses, for example your books, have been paid for, you may
be eligible to receive a refund from your financial aid award. This usually occurs
approximately 6 weeks after the start of your first course.
The Kentucky Community and Technical College System has partnered with BankMobile,
a financial services company focused solely on higher education, to offer faster delivery
of refunds/disbursements to students. BankMobile is the key to choosing your refund/financial aid disbursement preference.
The Information Commons is the local point of contact for refund questions. View the BankMobile Refund Choices page for more information. View our institution's contract with BankMobile, a Division of Customers Bank here.
