Tuition & Financial Aid

A Knox Education is an investment in your future, and our goal is to help you feel confident that you can afford that investment. The first step in this process is deciding what tuition payment option is best for you and your family.

The Knox College Business Office offers convenient payment arrangements to manage college costs. You have the option of paying your bill in full each term with one payment or enrolling in a payment plan through CashNet, which allows you to make monthly payments per term. The payment plan is not a loan and there are no interest charges. The only cost is an enrollment fee of $35 each term.

Payment plans for each term can be set up for either four months or three months. For the four-month plan, the first payment will be due July 31. The first payment for the three-month plan will be due September 15.

To view your bill and make payments, log onto my.knox.edu and choose the "My Account" app under the Knox Apps dropdown in the left column. This will take you to a Business Office page, where you will find a link called "Student Finance Center."

The Student Finance Center link takes you to the CashNet portal. This is where you can view your bill, which includes a breakdown of fees, financial aid, and recent payments. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid at financialaid@knox.edu if you have questions about financial aid, scholarships, or loan credits on your account.

You can also make online payments or set up a payment plan for the term in the CashNet portal. Under "Authorized Users," you can give access to this portal to other individuals who may be assisting you with your finances. Simply complete the CASHNet form that appears after clicking the "Add New Authorized Users" button.

We're here to help you find the best payment option for you and your family. If you have any questions, contact our student accounts coordinator in the Knox Business Office at bursar@knox.edu or 309-341-7313.
