Business Office + Cashiering Services Tuition Payment

General fee information

Students will NOT BE DROPPED from class for non-payment of tuition and fees for current semester.

If you are enrolled but DO NOT PLAN to attend classes at Emporia State University, you must withdraw from your classes by the 100% refund period (go to this page to view payment calendars) to completely reverse assessed tuition and fees from your student account. If you receive financial aid and then withdraw, you may be required to repay some or all of those funds. Failure to withdraw obligates the student to pay tuition, fees and all applicable charges on the student account.

All fees are due and payable, whether a billing statement is generated or not. For payment to be credited to your account allow time for mailing and processing. Financial aid and scholarships must be authorized AND disbursed to be considered a payment on your account.

NOTE: Any student, with a balance greater than $100 will be charged an extended payment administrative (EPA) fee of $50 after the initial due date.

If a student is unable to pay their entire account balance by the due date, a student may enroll in a payment plan to avoid additional late fees. Students enroll in payment plan through their Hornet365.com student account center. Enrollment in a payment plan must be completed to avoid additional fees. If not enrolled in a payment plan, students will be charged a $50 late fee on the 21st of each month if the account balance is greater than $100. A student may also be charged the $50 late fee if payment is not received per the payment plan.

Payments can be made online via Hornet365.com or at the Cashier window on the first floor of Plumb Hall.

Tuition and fees may be paid through your student account using either an electronic check (e-check) or a credit card. The University accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Please note that a convenience fee applies to all credit card transactions. Payments by check, cash, or money order may also be made in person at Cashiering Services, located in Plumb Hall, during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CT. Payments by check or money order may be mailed to Emporia State University , 1 Kellogg Circle, Campus Box 4021, Emporia, KS 66801. Please include your ESU student ID # and student name on the check and make the check payable to Emporia State University. For your security, please do not mail cash.

Scholarships, grants, and loans must first be applied to tuition and fees. Excess funds that become available will be refunded to the student. Students that have set up direct deposit authorization online through their student account will receive excess financial aid and scholarship funds by direct deposit. Students who have not completed the direct deposit authorization will be issued a check. Checks will be mailed to the student’s current mailing address. If your mailing address has changed, please ensure it is updated on our Name Change + Address Page.

To avoid delay of processing excess financial aid funds, all students are encouraged to have a Title IV Authorization Release Non-Institutional Charges and Prior Year Charges Form on file.

No student shall be permitted to finalize enrollment for any future semester if there is a past-due account balance from a prior semester(s).

Students with outstanding debts to the University, whether financial or material, will not be able to enroll in future terms.

If the University receives a returned check, the University reserves the right to withdraw the student from classes and to charge the student fees due as of that date. Additional information is available from Cashiering Services (email questions to cashier@emporia.edu).
