Students may view the mission statement of each of the above areas by visiting the Office of Financial Affairs and Treasurer web page www.financialaffairs.eku.edu

Financial Obligations of the Student

Any student or former student who is indebted to the University and who fails to make satisfactory settlement within a time limit prescribed is liable for administrative action. Students who are indebted to the University may not register at the University nor will their transcript be released until the debt is paid. Any student indebted to the University who cannot meet his! her financial obligations within the time limit prescribed is responsible for calling on the Division of Student Accounting Services and explaining the reasons for failure to pay. Students who fail to pay their account balance in a timely manner may also be liable for additional collection costs incurred by the University in collecting the amount owed.

Refund Policy

No refund can be made on certain class fees and optional fees as established by the Eastern Kentucky University Board of Regents. Students wishing to withdraw from courses must do so online via EKUDirect (on the EKU homepage at www.eku.edu). When a student officially withdraws from the University or from any course, or courses, for which hourly rates apply, tuition and fees will be adjusted in the following manner:

*Partial semester courses vary in length and the percentage of refunds and the effective dates will be modified accordingly.

This policy applies to refundable fees only; non-refundable fees are not included.

In no case shall a refund of rent be made to a person who remains a student but moves from University housing at his or her convenience.

An appeals process exists for students and/or parent(s) of students who feel that individual circumstances warrant exceptions from published policy. Request for an appeal should be addressed in writing to the Director of Student Accounting Services.

Refunds for reduction in course load for part-time students will be at the same percentage rate as for students who officially

withdraw from the University; however, if the reduction in course load results from the cancellation of a class or from the student having been permitted to enroll for a class for which he or she was not eligible, a full refund will be made of the registration fee for the course being dropped.
