Kirkwood offers convenient, interest-free installment payment plans to help you afford college. Rather than a loan, tuition payment plans spread tuition and fee costs over a set number of equal installments on fixed dates each month.

Payments are made by automatic withdrawal from a checking or savings account or from a credit or debit card. If a class is added or dropped, or charges are added to the student account, the installment amount will change to incorporate the new totals.

Requesting Funds

Contact your 529 plan administrator and request that funds are sent directly to Kirkwood. If they need a statement of charges, students can download a copy of their statement in MyHub by going to “Billing & Payments” > “Account Activity” > “View Statement.” 

Checks should include the student’s name and k-number and be sent to:

ATTN: CASHIER
KIRKWOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
6301 KIRKWOOD BLVD SW
CEDAR RAPIDS IA 52404

Note: If your plan is through College Illinois or Florida Prepaid, please make sure to contact them and let them know that you will be attending Kirkwood. They will then send Kirkwood the information via email at Accounts.Receivable@kirkwood.edu to bill the plan directly for your charges.

Eligible Expenses
For questions about what expenses can be paid with 529 funds, contact your plan administrator.

Books and Computers
If you have funds for books or a computer, contact the Finance department to make them available for use at the Kirkwood Bookstore.

Housing
529 plans may ask about Kirkwood’s housing allowance. We use the same numbers as the Financial Aid department’s Cost of Attendance estimates. Find them here:

Tuition & Costs > scroll to “Tools for Students” > expand “Cost of Attendance Estimates.”

Excess Payments / Refunds
If payments exceed tuition, fees, books, etc., the extra will be refunded to the student. Refunds do not remain on the account or transfer to future terms. Students can use refunded funds for housing or other qualified expenses but should keep records for tax purposes.

Questions?
Call the Finance department at 319-398-5631 or email Accounts.Receivable@kirkwood.edu.

How Employer Sponsorship Works
If your employer has authorized Kirkwood to bill them, this counts as employer sponsorship. Students must provide an official document from the company outlining what the employer will pay. All vouchers or tuition assistance letters should be emailed from your Kirkwood student email to Accounts.Receivable@kirkwood.edu.

Grading or Eligibility Requirements
Some employers have grading or other criteria that students must meet. If the student does not meet these requirements, the employer may void the sponsorship. Kirkwood will adjust the bill, and the student must pay any portion the employer rejects. This often occurs at the end of the term, giving students a short time to pay before deregistration or referral to collections.

Difference from Tuition Reimbursement
Employer sponsorship is not the same as tuition reimbursement. For tuition reimbursement, you must work directly with your HR department and follow Kirkwood’s standard tuition due dates: January 1 for Spring, May 1 for Summer, August 1 for Fall.

For more information, call 319-398-5631 or email Accounts.Receivable@kirkwood.edu.

Your bill is available online in MyHub. Log in and select “Billing & Payments” > “Account Activity” to view your current balance. If your charges or registration change, your bill updates immediately.

The college does not mail paper bills. Balance reminders are sent to your Kirkwood student email, so be sure to check your student email regularly.

If you need a copy of your bill to share with someone else, you can download it by selecting “View Statement” on the Account Activity page.

You can view and print your receipts in MyHub:

1. Go to “Billing & Payments” > “Account Activity”
2. Select the term you want
3. Click the “Payments” tab to see your receipts
4. Click a Receipt Number to open and print the receipt for your records

We strongly recommend setting up direct deposit for financial aid refunds. Direct deposit is the fastest and most reliable way to receive your funds. If you do not set up a refund account, a paper check will be mailed to the address on file. Checks must be cashed within 90 days of issue.

View instructions for adding a refund account.

You can give a parent, guardian, or another trusted person access to your account by setting them up as a Proxy User. Proxy Users can view bills, make payments, access tax forms, and other selected information you allow.

To add a Proxy User:

1. Log in to MyHub and go to “My Links” > “My Proxies”
2. Enter the person’s information and choose what access to give them

You can change or remove a Proxy User’s access at any time.

If a balance remains unpaid after the end of the semester, your account may be placed with a third-party collection agency. Once this happens, all payments must be made directly through the agency - not through Kirkwood. Collection agencies may add fees and may report balances to credit bureaus, which can affect your credit history. Kirkwood uses the following third-party collection agency:

Hauge Associates
Phone: 1-800-284-3131
Website: https://www.evokepay.com/haugeassociates/login 

Unpaid balances may be referred to the State of Iowa Setoff Program at the same time they are placed with a collection agency. This means that if you are due a state payment - such as a tax refund - it may be withheld and applied toward your balance at Kirkwood.

For more information on the Setoff Program, including how it works and frequently asked questions, visit the Iowa Department of Revenue website.
