In-person payments can be made on the Kent Campus using the payment drop box located outside 131 Schwartz.

Please note that the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center and Regional Campuses are unable to accept in-person payments.

Please be sure to provide identifying information including the student’s name and Kent State University ID with the payment.

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.

You can pay via the Online Payment Portal 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 Card payments, KSU accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa.
