Payment Plan Enrollment and Due Dates
Enrollment Requirements
Students/authorized users will need to access the Payment Center each term to enroll in a payment plan if needed. The $25 enrollment fee is due at the time of enrollment for each term enrolled in the plan.
Open Payment Plan Enrollment
Enrollment for payment plans will open after invoices are generated each term. Once the respective term’s invoice has generated, students can then enroll in the payment plan.
Students should enroll before the first payment is due. If enrolling in the payment plan after the first installment is due, you will owe your first and second installment for your first payment.
Example: If applying October 1st, you will pay the September and October installment for your first payment on October 20th.
Payment Due Dates
All payments will be due on the 20th of the following specified months:
| Term | Payment 1 | Payment 2 | Payment 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fall Quarter | September 20th | October 20th | November 20th |
| Winter Quarter | December 20th | January 20th | February 20th |

How to Enroll in a Payment Plan
- Login to the Kalamazoo College Payment Center and click on the Payment Plans tab.
- From your Payment Plans screen you will be able to enroll in the Payment Plan for that term.
Installment Amounts
- Installment calculations: Installment amounts will be calculated as soon as a student enrolls in the payment plan. It will include tuition, mandatory fees such as the student activity fee, any course fees, room and the traditional meal plans, health insurance (in the fall), minus any financial aid.
- Commuter meal plans cannot be added to the payment plan.
- Avoiding late fees: Please check your student account in the Payment Center for separate charges not covered by the payment plan to avoid late fees.
- Prior balances will not be calculated into the payment plan and will need to be paid separately.
- Miscellaneous charges accrued during the term will not be calculated into the payment plan and will need to be paid separately. These include, but are not limited to, commuter plans, health center visits, ID card replacements, parking permits, parking tickets, library fines, residence hall fines.
Adjustments to Installment Amounts
- Adjustments to tuition, room and board will be credited to your last installment for the quarter.
- Financial Aid: If a student is awarded financial aid for a term, installment payments will be reduced to reflect the amount of the award. If a student’s award is reduced during the term and a balance is owed, installment payments will process against the card/account on file for any installment due dates that have not passed.
