Payment Installment Option (PIO)

Registration is subject to deletion and/or a $100 late payment fee, if fee payment requirements for enrollment fees are not satisfied by the appropriate fee payment deadline listed in the Academic Calendar. The Payment Installment Option (PIO) is offered to all students in order to help satisfy payment requirements by the appropriate fee payment deadline.

  • The PIO will include all unpaid tuition and fees, Dining Dollars and/or housing charges.
  • Before enrolling in the PIO, students will be required to read and accept terms of the plan on Touchnet.
  • The enrollment fee of $25 is due when signing up for the PIO through WIRED/Touchnet. The PIO enrollment fee is not refundable, regardless of when your financial aid or other payments are applied to your account.
  • Enrollment in PIO is not automatic. You must enroll online through WIRED.
  • Students may pay the full installment amount due online.
  • PIO enrollment is available through the end of late registration deadline dates for each fall and spring terms. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates.
  • The remaining installment payments are due in either four or twelve separate installments (dictated by whether the student account has a prior balance.)
  • Students will receive an invoice either online or by campus mail. Students remain responsible for the installment payments by the appropriate deadline, even if they do not receive or do not open their online invoice on WIRED or through campus email.
  • Students who drop or withdraw from classes after the 100% drop period may have a balance due under the Payment Installment. Tuition and fees are adjusted based on the drop or withdrawal date. A refund would only be issued to the student if the newly adjusted amount of fees is less than the amount that has been paid by the student resulting in a credit balance.
  • Unpaid installment amounts will cause holds to be placed on registration for future terms, viewing/receiving grades for current or future terms, and receiving transcripts/diplomas.
  • The University reserves the right to deny students the privilege of using the PIO.

If you have any questions regarding the PIO, please contact the Bursar's Office at (502) 597-6278.

Foreign Currency

All payments must be made in U.S. dollars.

Returned Checks

Personal checks are accepted for a variety of services (e.g. tuition and fees, traffic tickets, library fines, etc.). If more than two (2) checks are returned, check cashing privileges will be revoked. Upon receipt of the returned check, the issuer will be notified and informed he/she has ten (10) days to make restitution, including any related fees, to prevent any further collection activity. Restitution must be made in the form of cash, certified check, or money order.

Online Courses

Online tuition and fees can be found in the Tuition and Fee Schedule. All fees are subject to change without notice. A full-time student who supplements traditional courses (on campus or in class lecture) with online courses shall be charged based on the normal full-time tuition and fee schedule and residency.

A student who is registered for 12 or more hours online exclusively will be classified as a full-time student and shall be charged based on the normal tuition and fee schedule and residency.

Waiver of Tuition and Fees for Senior Citizens

Any person sixty-five (65) years of age or older who is a resident of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and who enrolls as a student at Kentucky State University shall have waived all tuition charges and fees. However, in the event that classes are full or the granting of free admission requires additional classes, Kentucky State University may deny admission under this provision.
