What's With the ***?
Great question!
The first * is the KCTCS BuildSmart Investment for Kentucky Competitiveness fee. This
fee does not apply to Dual Credit Students.
+For students who are enrolled in online-only courses, the tuition is the same regardless
of your residency. Other fees, such as the mandatory fee and a distance learning course

1 Cost of attendance estimates are based upon student's expected living arrangements
and assume full-time enrollment (12 credit hours each semester).
2 Estimated Indirect Costs are NOT amounts that will be charged to the student's account
at the college, but are average amounts that a student could expect to incur during
periods of enrollment.
3 Some programs of study prepare students for work in a profession that requires licensure
to be employed in your state. The cost of obtaining licensure varies by profession
and by the state in which the license is obtained. You can find a list of academic
programs leading to state licensure at Licensure Disclosures.
These are estimated values used to calculate eligibility for financial aid funds and are updated annually.
- An $11 charge per semester will be collected from students enrolled in programs that
require professional liability insurance.
- A $50 charge will be assessed for each check returned due to insufficient funds.
- Delinquent accounts are subject to referral to the Kentucky Department of Revenue,
which will charge additional fees.
- A $75 charge will be assessed for reinstatement of classes for students who do not pay by the payment deadline.
Tuition is due prior to the first day of classes for each semester, unless you have
signed up for a payment plan to pay your tuition over time. See Academic Calendar for specific due dates.
Tuition is assessed when you register for classes. If you do not pay tuition on time or make payment arrangements (payment plan, financial aid, etc.), you may be assessed a late fee and/or unregistered from your classes.
Tuition is charged per credit hour, so any changes to your schedule (for instance, if you drop or add a class) will result in recalculation of your tuition charge. Late fees and/or cancellation of classes apply even if you make initial payment but add a class later and do not pay for it.
Billing statements are sent by email to your student email. You will not receive a
statement through the mail. Your statement will show the tuition amount due as well
as anticipated aid, including grants, accepted loans and some scholarships (including
the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship, or KEES).
When you receive your bill, compare your tuition balance to your actual financial
aid (available at Student Self-Service).
- If your actual aid is more than enough to cover your tuition balance, you do not need
to make a tuition payment. Your tuition will be paid automatically from your financial
aid.
- If your actual aid is not enough to cover the tuition balance, you must pay the difference by the tuition deadline. Contact the Tuition Office for help in determining how much you owe.
If your tuition will be paid from financial aid funds, your tuition balance will not change until after the semester begins, enrollment is confirmed, and aid is disbursed to your account. At that time, your account balance will change to reflect the aid applied and any funds left over will be refunded to you.
There are no additional charges associated with the verification of student identity.
