Application Fee
An application fee of $35 must be submitted with the application for admission to the graduate programs in health care administration and education. Applicants to the Physician Assistant program apply through CASPA; there is no additional charge for the required supplemental application.

Graduation Fee
Graduation fee is $150. There is no discount for former King’s graduates.

Method of Payment
Tuition and fees are due and payable in full prior to and as a condition for registration.

Students preferring to pay semester charges in monthly installments must have payment plan arrangements completed prior to registration. Financial arrangements may only be made with the director of student accounts or with the bursar. The director of student accounts can be reached by telephone at (570) 208-5835.

Students with a verified tuition-reimbursement benefit from their employers may defer payment of the portion of their tuition covered by the benefit until after the end of the semester, after grades are released. For a copy of the benefit-verification form or for more information about policies concerning tuition-reimbursement benefits, consult the director of graduate programs or the director of student accounts.

American Express, MasterCard, Visa and Discover credit cards may also be used for payment.

A satisfactory settlement of all college accounts is required before grades are released, or degrees conferred. Likewise, no request will be honored for transcripts of record, recommendations, or other information concerning academic records unless a student’s account has been settled in full.

The College reserves the right, in those instances where a student is deemed to be in serious violation of College policy, to initiate cancellation of the student’s registration. If such cancellation occurs after the semester begins, tuition charges will be adjusted accordingly, and a grade of “AW” (Administrative Withdrawal) will be entered on the student’s transcript.
