Tuition charges at Kaskaskia College are based on the residency of the individual. Residency is determined according to the circumstances that exist at the time the application is filed for college admission. An applicant may be required to submit additional documented information to support the residence declaration on the application. Additional information can be found here.
*Students who enroll in any approved Joint Agreement program are required to file a letter of Certification of Residency from the student's home college with the Admissions Office prior to enrollment and may qualify for tuition on the same basis as In-District students.
*Out-of-district students who are employed full-time within District 501 may qualify for in-district rates. The required form is available in the Admissions and Records area and must be completed each semester. The in-district employer must complete a new form each semester.
Student Payment Responsibilities
Financial responsibility begins at the time of registration. When a student registers for a class, he/she is liable for payment of the charges associated with that class. If a student does not attend class(es), the student must officially drop the class(es) within the specified add/drop period, or full charges will occur. You are responsible for keeping Kaskaskia College informed of any address or telephone changes.
Students utilizing financial aid must confirm their eligibility with the KC Financial Aid Office. Financial assistance includes scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study. All students should complete the FAFSA to determine eligibility.
Students whose employer is paying their tuition must present the purchase order, tuition assistance form, or letter of intent on company letterhead at the time of registration.
Any balance of tuition and fees or other charges should be paid in full by the posted deadline. Students with outstanding balances will be denied future registration privileges, grades, transcripts, and diplomas.
Refund of Tuition and Fees
A student enrolling in a class automatically assumes the responsibility of properly dropping the class(es) when the student decides not to attend or complete the course.
A refund of tuition and fees cannot be made unless a student officially drops the class in the Office of Admissions and Records. (Even if you have not paid your fees, you will be charged for the class if you do not officially drop it.)
Refunds will be computed from the date that the written request to be dropped from a class is received in the Office of Admissions and Records and will be based on the following schedule for a 16-week class:
| Timeline | Refund Amount |
|---|---|
| First 2 weeks of semester | 100% |
| After 2nd week of semester | 0% |
| Timeline | Refund Amount |
|---|---|
| First week of semester | 100% |
| After 1st week of semester | 0% |
The timeframe varies for classes of different lengths. Tuition and fees will not be refunded after the second week of classes. For students receiving Title IV funding, please contact the Financial Aid office regarding changes in eligibility due to drops or withdrawals.
Senior Citizen Waiver
By a resolution of the Board of Trustees, Kaskaskia College extends a waiver of tuition and mandatory fees to residents of the district who have attained the age of 65 at the time of registration. The waiver is applicable to all baccalaureate and vocational courses for which Kaskaskia College receives funding on a per semester hour basis from the Illinois Community College Board. The waiver is applicable to those courses where the minimum number of tuition-paid registrants has been received and space is available up to the maximum class enrollment.
Non-Credit Course Refund
Refunds:
Students who cancel their registration more than two business days before the start of a non-credit course will receive a full refund. Cancellations within two business days before the start of the course will not be eligible for a refund, and no-show students will not be eligible for a refund.
Refund Appeals: Students who wish to appeal for a refund may submit a request. Contact the Workforce Development and Community Education department for information and a copy of the appeal document. 618-545-3255 or ce@kaskaskia.edu.

Financial Obligations to the College
