Student Accounts

Policies and Procedures

Student Accounts Services presents timely and accurate quarter billing of tuition and fees to students, as well as notification of other charges. We will send an email when a tuition and fee statement is available after each quarter’s initial billing, then monthly, by email, if a balance exists on their student account.

Students are responsible for their account balance and ensuring that their student account is in good standing. Please check your student account at least once a month and seek assistance if you have any questions. 

Billing Policies

Tuition and fees are based on enrollment status as defined by the Registrar under Academic Policies in the student catalog. Full-time students are charged the flat rate tuition, plus fees. 

The exceptions are for Pharmacy 4th year students, and Summer Quarter for Pharmacy 2nd year and 3rd year students, where students are charged the flat rate tuition, per quarter, plus fees, when enrolled in at least half-time (at least 5 credits).

Part-Time students are charged tuition on a per credit basis when they fall below the full-time enrollment status, plus fees.

A fee to remediate deficiencies and for makeup examination may be charged.

Please refer to the tuition and fees sections below for COP, MSVS, SCCO and SPAS.

The Board of Trustees of Marshall B. Ketchum University reserves the right to change tuition and fees or to establish additional fees for special features or services if deemed necessary. 

Repeated Courses Tuition Charges

A student who is registered full-time in the term that the repeated course is given will be charged on a per credit basis for the repeated course in addition to any other course as applicable.

Extended Program Tuition Charges

A student whose program is extended or is required to complete clinical courses following the date of original graduation will be subject to applicable tuition and fee charges.

Payment Policies

Full tuition and fees are due and payable by the start date of each quarter. A ten-day grace period follows. Payments received after the grace period will incur a late fee of $50. Interest will be charged on past due balances.

A student may not proceed from one quarter to the next without having fully paid the previous quarter's tuition and fees. A student with a past due balance after April 30 may be prevented from receiving their diploma. Any exceptions must have prior approval by University Administration.

Students can find the upcoming published quarter tuition due date on the Student Accounts Calendar.

If you have difficulty meeting the payment deadlines, contact us at StudentAccounts@ketchum.edu.

Payment Procedures

Online: Tuition and fees can be paid online through Transact, a 3rd-party vendor, by signing in at my.ketchum.edu. Online payment by check is the preferred payment method. Additional payment options can be found on our Payment Methods section.
