How to Remit Payment

Online Tuition Payments

Kirtland Community College partners with Nelnet Campus Commerce to provide secure, flexible payment options for students.

Choose the method that works best for your budget: pay in full with a single transaction, or spread your costs over the semester with an interest-free monthly payment plan. Available for balances of $100 or more, these plans allow you or a family member to budget tuition over up to five months using auto-debit (checking, savings, or credit card). A $50 enrollment fee applies per semester.

How to Pay

1. Log In: Access your myKirtland portal and select the Student tab.
2. View Statement: Locate the My Account Detail window and click Submit.
3. Update Balance: If you recently changed your schedule, click Calculate to ensure your balance is current.
4. Connect to Nelnet: Click Make a Payment at the bottom of the page, then select the subsequent link to be redirected to the Nelnet platform.

Mailing a Tuition Payment

A check or money order can be made payable to Kirtland Community College and mailed to:

Student Accounts Office
4800 W 4 Mile Rd
Grayling, MI 49738

Please include the Student ID# on the payment.

A $25.00 charge will be assessed for all NSF checks returned by the bank.

In-person Tuition Payment

How to Pay

Financial Aid/Loans/Scholarships

Accept Your Awards

Once your FAFSA is reviewed, you will receive an email to log into Net Partner.

• Action: Accept the Terms and Conditions and your “Financial Aid Offer.”
• Timing: Your awards will appear on your tuition bill the next business day

Pay the Difference

If your financial aid does not cover your balance in full, you must pay the remaining amount by the published due date to remain registered.

Important: If your aid hasn’t been awarded by the payment deadline, be prepared to pay out-of-pocket. You will be reimbursed once your funding is processed and disbursed.

Refunds and Direct Deposit

If your financial aid exceeds your account balance, the unused portion will be refunded to you.

• Timing: Direct deposits are typically issued between the 6th and 14th weeks of the semester.
• Late-Start Classes: If you are in late-starting courses, your refund will be delayed.
• Get Paid Faster: Sign up for Direct Deposit via myKirtland. Go to the Student tab and click the red Direct Deposit for Student Refunds link.

Employer or Sponsoring Agency

If an employer agrees to pay for training, Kirtland will invoice the employer for tuition, fees, and textbooks.  Please complete Kirtland’s Employer Tuition Assistance form.  The form should be submitted before the payment due date or at the time of registration.  For questions, please contact Carey Jansen at 989-275-5000 ext. 238 or email carey.jansen@kirtland.edu.
