Undergraduate Tuition and Fees
Expenses
The current tuition, room, board and business related fees are listed below. The Student Accounts Office will send an email notification to your Kettering email when your tuition bill is ready to view via KU.ePay in Banner Self Service (approximately one month prior to the start of the term). All invoiced amounts are due by the beginning of each academic term and all financial aid arrangements must be made by the end of the first day of classes.
KU.ePay is the university’s online billing and payment service, which provides our students the ability to view and pay their student account bill online, 24 hours/day, seven days a week. Students may authorize others to access their KU.ePay account and make payments on their behalf.
With KU.ePay, students and authorized users are able to:
- Review their student account activity.
- View and print billing statements.
- Make payment on their student account, including a single payment or sign up for a payment plan.
- View and print form 1098-T.
Payments may be made via an ACH transaction from a bank account or credit card. International payments may be made through KU.ePay, and will be processed as a bank wire. Please visit KU.ePay for more information. Payment in the form of a check, money order, or cashier’s check may be sent directly to the Student Accounts Office.
A $300 late fee will be assessed to accounts which have not been paid in full by 4:00 p.m. fourth week Friday of each academic term. Financial aid is available for students with a demonstrated need; sources of aid are discussed in the Financial Aid section of this catalog.
When registered for courses, students acknowledge enrollment in the courses selected and authorize Kettering University to bill for any related tuition and fees. To avoid any penalties, payment is due no later than 4th week Friday of each academic term. A financial hold and a $300 late fee will be assessed on any account not paid in full which prohibits future course registration and/or cancellation and will result in grades and transcripts being withheld.

For purposes of determining financial aid, a full academic load at Kettering University is considered to be 15 credit hours.
