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 must accept a Financial Responsibility Agreement each semester and pay their balance in full or enroll in a payment plan to activate their meal plan and BeakerBucks, to allow textbook charges at the University Store, and to prevent cancellation of their class schedule.
- Login to MyMoreheadState at my.moreheadstate.edu.
- Under the Self-Service Menu (WebAdvisor) – Student menu, select “Student Financial Info” and then “Self-Service.”
- Select “Student Finance” and then “Make a Payment – Payment Plan” to pay your tuition and fees in full or to enroll in a payment plan. (You will also need to accept a Financial Responsibility Agreement.)
- You may also 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 an email via their MSU email account once billing is available. It is the student's responsibility to check their MSU email account on a regular basis.
After acceptance to the University, students should establish an MSU email address by visiting MyMoreheadState and selecting Eagle Account Center. 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.
Payment Plans
Morehead State University offers a payment plan for students who need to setup installment payments for their balance due. One-third of your balance and a $50 installment payment fee is due at the time of enrollment.
- 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 – must pay account in full or enroll in a payment plan by the deadline date for each summer session. One payment plan will cover all summer sessions. (See Academic Calendar for deadlines.)
- Winter – must pay account in full before the start of the session (See Academic Calendar for deadlines.)
Students must make payments as scheduled above to avoid a late payment charge at the monthly rate of 1.0% 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.

Refund Checks
A refund will be provided to you when payments (including financial aid, scholarships, and other outside sources of assistance) exceed your total charges. 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." Select "Bank Information (Direct Deposit)" to enter your bank account information. Refund checks will be direct deposited two to three weeks after classes begin. If direct deposit is not set up, checks will be mailed to your permanent home address. Due to federal regulations, direct loan funds cannot be disbursed until 30 days after the first day of classes for first-time, first-year borrowers of a Federal Direct Loan.
