Payment Options Overview

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.  There is a $3 non-refundable service fee for card payments between $20 and $102 and 2.95% for payments greater than $102.  International payments are subject to fees depending on payment type selection. 

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 payments can be made using the payment drop box located outside 131 Schwartz or at Kent State Regional Campuses.

For Kent Campus, please note that the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center is unable to accept payments.
