Tuition and Fee Information

How to Pay Tuition and Fees

When a student registers for classes, they create a financial obligation to Morehead State University. The total semester charges (tuition, housing, meal plans, books and fees) less financial aid, scholarships, waivers, and third party payments received 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" each semester before they arrive on campus to activate their meal plan and prevent cancellation of their class schedule.

1. Login to MyMoreheadState at my.moreheadstate.edu.
2. Select My Billing Info to pay your tuition and fees in full or to enroll in an online Protect Class Schedule Plan.
3. Mail payment to Morehead State University, Office of Accounting and Financial Services, 207 Howell McDowell Administration Building, Morehead, KY 40351.

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 email account. After acceptance to the University, students should establish an MSU email address by visiting MyMoreheadState and selecting Eagle Account Center. It is the student's responsibility to check their MSU email account on a regular basis.

Tuition and Fee Schedule is available at www.moreheadstate.edu/tuition. 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 is for students who have a balance due and need to set up installment payments. One-third of your balance and a $50 installment payment fee is due at the time of enrollment.

This plan is available for fall and spring semesters only.

Protect Class Schedule - Financial Aid Plan

This plan is for students who have financial aid, scholarships, waivers or other sources of assistance to cover their bill in full or for students who can pay the balance after applying financial aid, scholarships, waivers and other sources of assistance.  You will need to pay your remaining balance first and then enroll in this plan.

There is no installment payment fee to enroll in this plan. This plan is available for all terms.

• 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/Winter sessions – payment is due in full at the start of these sessions.  (See Academic Calendar for deadlines) Standard payment plans are not available for these sessions. 

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 having a hold being placed on their account.

Credit/Adjustments

Tuition, housing, and course fees may be credited to students who withdraw during certain time periods, following the start of each term.  Meal plan 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 non-refundable.

Students may choose to have their refunds direct deposited to the bank account of their choice. Direct deposit is strongly encouraged for student convenience. To set up direct deposit, login to MyMoreheadState and select "Students" from the Self-Service Menu (WebAdvisor) and then select "Student Financial Info."
