Students who arrive, or are found on campus during the early arrival period without prior approval, will be charged $200 per night and face possible judicial action.
Students who do not properly check out of their College residential space will be charged an improper check out fee of $150. Extensions, if given, must be approved in advance by the Office of Residential Life and students may be charged $100 for each additional night until they vacate their room. Any of the student's possessions remaining on the premises after a student's check-out time will be deemed abandoned, and any cost incurred in removing the possessions will be charged to the student(s) assigned to that residential space.
Lost/Stolen or Unreturned Key Charge: If a College residential house, apartment, suite or room key is lost or not returned when the student is checking out of their residential space, the lock will be replaced and the student will be billed $150.00 per key for parts and labor.
The senior class determines how much it will assess each member of the class for activities held throughout the year, including Senior Week (the week immediately preceding graduation).
Entering-Student Deposit: Upon notification that a candidate has been admitted to Kenyon, they must return with the acceptance an advance payment of $350. This $350 will remain on deposit during the student's enrollment and will be credited in full to the student's billing account just prior to graduation or upon permanent withdrawal from the College to reduce any indebtedness. If, for some reason, the student never actually enrolls at Kenyon, the $350 is nonrefundable.
A student is not officially registered until all fees and charges are paid.
Transfer or Withdrawal: A student who wishes to transfer credits to another institution or to withdraw from the College must pay in full all indebtedness to Kenyon, including all amounts borrowed, before a transcript of the student's academic record will be issued or the request granted. Transcripts are not released until all payments are made.
Past-Due Accounts: In accordance with rules established by the Board of Trustees, an additional fee of 1.5 percent of the amount remaining unpaid at the close of business on the day on which it is due will be added to the balance of any account not paid when due. Registration for admittance to classes is not complete until the student's account is paid in full. In addition, any student whose bill is thirty (30) days past due may be suspended from all College privileges including admittance to classes and College residences until payment has been made. The 1.5-percent penalty will also be assessed against any account that receives credits for a Cashnet Tuition Payment Plan contract subsequently terminated for nonpayment (see "Monthly Payment Plan" for information on the Tuition Payment Plan administered by Cashnet).
Lockout Fee: $25 per occurrence.
Parking Fines: In order to control automobile traffic and parking on campus, various regulations have been established. Violators of these regulations are subject to monetary fines.
Damages: Students will be billed for the costs of repairs and replacements, as a result of damages to or destruction of College property, for which the student is responsible.
Library Fines: Library fines vary depending on the patron type, the lending policies of the Consortia and the material type.
Returned Checks: A $30 handling charge will be assessed for all checks returned because of insufficient funds or other reasons.
Mandatory Student Fees and Charges: Tuition, room, board, student activities fee, and health and counseling fee are billed two times per year as follows:
In addition, three optional items, K-Card deposit, health and accident insurance and tuition refund insurance, are billed with the mandatory fees and charges.
Miscellaneous: Other fees, deposits, and fines incurred by the student will be billed monthly as they are received by the Accounting Office.
Monthly Payment Plan: Some parents may prefer to pay tuition and other fees in equal monthly installments during the year. The College is happy to offer this convenience through the Cashnet tuition payment plan. The College does not have an internally administered partial-payment plan.
The Cashnet tuition payment plan allows you to pay College fees in eight (8) convenient monthly payments, commencing July 1. The cost of this plan is $55 annually. Information on this plan will be forwarded separately. Enroll at www.commerce.cashnet.com/paymentportal.
If you have enrolled in the eight-month tuition payment plan, 50 percent of your contract will be credited for first-semester fees and 50 percent for second-semester fees. (Even though the credits are applied to the bills, Kenyon only receives money from the payment plan as Cashnet receives payments from clients, so contracts must be kept current. All contracts, regardless of the date initiated, must be paid in full by February 1, 2019.)
External Loans not Based on Financial Need: Kenyon College participates in several educational-loan programs that are not based on financial need.

Voluntary Non-medical Refund Policy: If a student chooses to withdraw for a non-medical reason during the first 60% of the semester, the College will pro-rate a tuition refund based on the percentage of the semester completed. After 60% of the term has been completed, tuition for the semester will not be adjusted. Board charges will be credited for the term based on the percentage of the semester completed. Room rent and other fees and charges are not refundable.
Federal Refund Policy: Students receiving financial assistance under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, who withdraw during the first 60 percent of the semester (measured in calendar days) will be subject to a "Return of Title IV Funds" calculation to determine the portion of their federal student aid that must be returned to the federal government. Students who withdraw after the 60-percent point are considered to have "earned" all of their federal student aid. State aid reductions may also be required in accordance with each state's regulations.
Scholarships and Student Aid: A student receiving financial assistance from the College will have one-half of such assistance applied to each semester against the required fees and charges (excludes the work study funds from which wages are paid directly to the student as earned). Scholarships or other awards made by institutions other than Kenyon must be paid to the College within thirty (30) days after fees and charges are due.
Residences: Because Kenyon is a residential college, all students live in College residences and eat in the College dining halls. Exceptions to this practice may be made only through written permission from the Dean of Students.
