Payment Options Overview

Payments may be made in the following ways:

Online Payments

You can pay via the Online Payment Center using eChecks, Credit Card, or International payments.  There is no fee for payments made using eChecks.  You will need to enter your U.S. checking or savings account information and payment will be made electronically.  For Credit Card payments, KSU accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa payments. There is a non-refundable 2.99% transaction fee for credit card payments.  International payments are subject to fees depending on payment type selection. 

Monthly Payment Plan

Education expenses can be easier to manage when spread over predictable monthly payments. Our monthly payment plan, administered by Transact, is an alternative to one large payment and may help limit loan borrowing. The plan is available during fall and spring semesters only. The enrollment fee is $55 per semester. For more information and to enroll in the plan, please visit the payment plan website.

In-Person

In-person payments can be made using the payment drop box located outside the Bursar’s Office (131 Schwartz) or at Kent State Regional Campuses.

For Kent Campus, please note that the One Stop for Student Services, located on the first floor of the University Library, is unable to accept payments.
