Tuition and Fee Information

How to Pay Tuition and Fees

When a student registers for classes they are creating a financial obligation to Morehead State University. The total semester charges (tuition, housing, meal plans, books and fees) less financial aid/scholarships/waivers or other outside sources of assistance for each semester result in the amount due to MSU. All students are required to make payment in full or enroll in an online "Protect Class Schedule Plan" before they arrive on campus to activate meal plans and prevent cancellation of class schedules.

1. Login to MyMoreheadState at my.moreheadstate.edu.
2. Select the "Finance" icon, and then select "My Billing Info" to pay via ACH, credit card or debit card.
3. Mail payment to Morehead State University, Office of Accounting and Financial Services, 207 Howell McDowell Administration Building, Morehead, KY 40351.
4. Pay bill at any regional campus (Ashland, Mt. Sterling, or Prestonsburg).

Student Billing and Payment Information

Morehead State University does not send out paper bills. Students will receive electronic (e-bill) statements each month via their MSU EagleMail account as long as their balance has not been paid in full (by financial aid or by the student).

Students may also view and pay their bill online, (after July 15 for fall semesters) by logging into MyMoreheadState and selecting the "Finance" icon and then selecting "My Billing Info."

After acceptance to the University, students may establish an EagleMail address by visiting MyMoreheadState and selecting "Activate Account" under the "Trouble Logging In" tab. It is the student's responsibility to view his or her MSU EagleMail account on a regular basis.

Questions about costs may be answered by referring to the online fee schedule located at www.moreheadstate.edu/aafs or calling 606-783-2019.

Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice by the Council on Postsecondary Education and the University's Board of Regents. Morehead State University reserves the right to deny credit based on prior payment history.

Protect Class Schedule Plans

Morehead State University offers two "Protect Class Schedule" plans:

Protect Class Schedule - Standard Payment Plan

This plan protects class schedules for students with SOME or NO financial aid, scholarships, waivers or other sources of assistance, who cannot pay their bill in full. This plan spreads payments over three months. One-third of the balance and a $50 installment payment fee are due at the time of enrollment.

This plan is available for fall and spring semesters only.

Protect Class Schedule - Financial Aid Plan

This plan protects class schedules for students with enough financial aid, scholarships, waivers or other sources of assistance to cover their entire balance in full. It also protects class schedules for students with some financial aid, scholarships, waivers, etc. who can pay the remaining balance in full. (Remaining balance must be paid in full first and then enroll in this plan to protect class schedules.)

There is no installment payment fee to enroll in this plan. This plan is available for fall, spring and summer sessions.

Changes in financial aid, tuition, course fee(s), class changes, books, housing, meal plan or miscellaneous charges will automatically update the payment plan amounts due.  Notification of these changes will be reflected in the billing statement and may result in an increase or decrease in the amount due for the month being billed.  Students may, at any time, elect to pay an amount greater than the amount due on the billing statement or pay the balance in full. 

• Fall semester – amount available for payment plan is divided into three payments due July/August (1st payment due at time of enrollment), September and October. 
• Spring semester - amount available for payment plan is divided into three payments due December/January (1st payment due at time of enrollment), February and March. 
• Summer sessions – payment is due in full at the start of each summer session.  (See Academic Calendar for deadlines) Standard payment plans are not available for summer sessions. 
• Students must register before classes begin to avoid a $75 late registration fee. 

Students must make payments as scheduled above to avoid a late payment charge at the monthly rate of 0.65% on outstanding balances and to avoid a hold being placed on their account.

Credit/Adjustments

Students withdrawing from school during any semester or term must arrange for their withdrawal with the Office of the Registrar. No credit will be given unless the withdrawal is made through the proper channels. Tuition, housing and course fees may be credited to the accounts of students who withdraw during certain time periods following the start of each term. Meal plans and minimum dining club accounts may be credited in accordance with the percentages listed below or the actual account balance, whichever is smaller. All other fees are not adjustable. Credit/adjustment periods and amounts are as follows:
