Account Information
Students, faculty, and staff should view their EKU account regularly by logging into their myEKU account, locating the “Payments & Financial Aid” card, and clicking the “Pay My Bill” icon. From there you can choose to pay bill, see an account summary, or schedule a payment plan. A monthly billing notification is currently emailed to all individuals with a balance due to the university to that individual’s official EKU email account. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the student of obligation to pay by the due date. A late fee of 10% of the account balance up to $25 per month will be assessed on all past due accounts.
Late Fee Policy Update starting August 2026: a late fee of $25 plus 10% APR will be assessed on all past due balances monthly.
If a student, faculty, or staff fails to pay in full or make acceptable payment arrangements with the Student Accounting Services Office within 90 days of the original due date, they may be subject to additional fees including collection costs, legal fees, and any other expenses incurred by the university in collection of, or attempting to collect the obligation.
Student Financial Agreement (TA 274)
By registering for classes for the current semester, I acknowledge and agree to pay all charges assessed to my student account. I understand that I am responsible for paying the full balance owed to Eastern Kentucky University by the established due date.
I understand that failure to pay my balance by the due date will result in a late fee of $25, along with interest applied at an annual rate of 10% on the outstanding balance. This late fee may be assessed monthly until the account is brought current.
I further understand and agree that, if my account becomes delinquent and is referred to University collections or a collection agency, I am responsible for all associated collection costs. These costs may be based on a percentage of the outstanding debt, up to a maximum of 33.33%. If legal action is required to recover the balance, I agree to pay reasonable attorney’s fees, which may be based on a percentage of the debt, up to a maximum of 40%. I also acknowledge that interest may continue to accrue on the outstanding balance, including applicable fees, after the account is placed with a collection agency.
I have also reviewed the refund deadlines found at http://www.eku.edu/compass prior to dropping a class and I understand that I may be responsible for fees associated with class withdrawal if I fall below full-time status.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
