Semester Balance Due Date

Pay full semester balance by August 25, 2023. Have sufficient estimated financial aid approved on the student account statement to cover full balance. Sign up for the Simmons Installment Plan. The Simmons installment plan splits the semester balance due into 4 payments. The $35 Simmons installment plan enrollment fee is non-refundable and due with the first installment. Any changes to charges or financial aid will affect the monthly installments.

We will send alerts regarding installment plan amount changes to students via Simmons email. Students will have the opportunity to opt into the installment plan starting on August 1, 2023. If payment in full is not received, aid is not finalized and the student declines to opt into the installment plan then the student will be dropped for non-payment on August 25, 2023.

Open enrollment for payment plan dates: Aug. 21-Aug. 25
Enrollment fee: $35. Must sign & abide by agreement. Failure to pay will result in disenrollment from classes, financial hold placed on account.

Past Due

Payments

Failure to pay on time

A registration hold will be placed that prevents future course registration if the current semester balance is $250.00 or over. A transcript hold will be placed that prevents access to your official transcript until the balance is paid in full.

If the student account remains unpaid at the end of the semester, then the student could be sent to a professional collection agency for further collection activity. All collection costs will be passed on to the student and this debt will be on their credit report. If still no action is taken then the invoice will be passed on to the KY Department of Revenue for further collection and the student will remain responsible for all collection penalties, interest and court costs.

Payment Plan for Past-Due Accounts

We can help you avoid the collection agency. If your account is delinquent and you cannot pay the balance due in full, please reach out to Student Account Services to set up a payment plan. The minimum monthly payment amount is $25 and the maximum repayment period allowed is one year (12 payments). To set up this payment plan, you must complete and submit the Simmons Amended Statement of Obligation & Internal Payment Plan Agreement.

There is a $25 payment plan fee charged for the past due payment plan, but no additional monthly fees and no collection costs will be added if you are able to make the agreed upon monthly payments. All payments on this plan are due on the 20th of each month. A Student Account Services hold will remain in place until the past-due amount is paid in full. There is no penalty for prepayment. Paying more in one month does not reduce next month’s payment amount.

If you default on the new payment agreement, your account will be sent to the KY Department of Revenue for further collection, where all collection costs and interest will be passed on to you.

FERPA Financial Hearing

You have the right to protest the amount of this bill if you believe the tuition, fees or other charges are inaccurate.
