Once an account is placed in collection or legal action is pursued by the collection agency, the student will be liable for all collection fees, which will be in addition to the amount of the original debt. At this point, the student will no longer be able to pay the University directly, and any communication or correspon- dence with the University about such debt must be directed through the collection agency. Check-Cashing PolicyThe following is KSU's policy concerning the cashing of personal checks: • Personal checks of students are accepted in payment of purchases, fines or fees due the bookstore. Checks may not exceed the amount due by more than $5. • Employee or student ID cards are required for check-cashing privileges. • Second-party checks will not be cashed or accepted for payments due. Automatic teller machines are available for 24-hour use on the south side of the Carmichael Student Center near the bookstore. Withdrawal and Refund of Student FeesKSU Institutional Refund Policy: To withdraw from one or more classes, students must withdraw online at www.kennesaw.edu, under Owl Express, Registration and Student Records. More information is at https://web.kennesaw.edu/registrar/students/withdrawal. Students withdrawing from classes before the end of registration and drop/add are entitled to a 100% refund. The refund amount for students completely withdrawing from the semester after the last 
day to drop/add for the term is based on a pro rata percentage determined by dividing the number of completed calendar days in the semester by the total calendar days in the semester. The total calendar days in a semester includes weekends, but excludes breaks of five days or more. The unearned portion shall be refunded up to the point in time that the amount equals 60%. Lab, specialized course/major and insurance fees are not refundable if withdrawal oc- curs after the end of Registration and Drop/Add. Students who withdraw when the calculated percentage of completion is greater than 60% are not entitled to a refund of any portion of institutional charges. Refunds will be disbursed by the university's Internet bank partner. Students may use their KSU Debit Card to select a refund payment method: electronic fund transfer or paper check. Details are available at www.ksuone.com. Student AssistantsA limited number of part-time, temporary jobs are available in each division of the Uni- versity. You may inquire at various departments or review the campus jobs web page found at www.ksustudent.com. Before being officially hired by the University, the hiring department must complete a Personnel Action Form and submit it to Human Resources. Additional paperwork must be completed by the student with Human Resources in the Campus Services Building. Each student assistant's position is assigned a classification with a designated hourly pay. A student assistant may work in more than one department and is not subject to the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan. Student Employees: TaxesStudent assistants are considered employees of the University. Every student assistant must complete W-2 and G-4 forms in Human Resources in order for appropriate federal and state income taxes to be withheld. Some students receive money for work done for organizations (Student Media, SGA, KAB, AASA, and ISA). Such pay is considered an honorarium or per diem fee and is not subject to withholding. If a student earns more than $600 in a calendar year, the University files a Form 1099 with the government. However, whether the University files a Form 1099 or not, stipends/honoraria are liable for taxes on all money earned in per diem fees from the University. This amount should be reported as "other income" on federal and state tax returns. A student employee receiving a stipend from a student group will have the amount added to the student assistant check. Veterans' BenefitsThe University is on the approved list of the Georgia State Approving Agency for the training of veterans, disabled veterans and the children and widows of deceased veterans who are eligible for benefits under the G.I. Bill. Students receiving benefits are required to pay all fees, as regular students, since they are paid benefits directly through Veterans'Administration (VA). Each VA beneficiary should make financial preparations for at least one semester since benefit checks are sometimes delayed. Students in training under the GI Vocational Rehabilitation program should check with the Bursar's Office regarding the handling of accounts for fees, supplies, etc. Eligible veterans, children and widows of veterans must make application through their local or regional Veterans Administration Office. Application forms are available in the Regis- trar's Office. Certain requirements must be met before students may be certified for noncredit remedial courses for VA payment purposes. Students should contact the VA Representative, located in the Registrar's Office, when there is a change of major or address. Kennesaw State University is approved by the State of Georgia as a training facility for veterans applying for VA Educational Benefits. To contact the VA Coordinator call Glenda Espana at 7/423-6431 or gespana@kennesaw.edu. NetID
The NetID system sets the foundation for a single point of authentication to all servers on campus beginning with e-mail access and personal web space, and eventually moving to WebCT, Banner and much more. Students will be required to set up an account on the system to gain access to these services. To acquire your NetID go to http://students.kennesaw.edu/ KSU generated e-mail accounts are the official means of communication with students. You do not need to apply for a KSU e-mail account; your address will be assigned by the ITS department. Your Kennesaw State University e-mail address will be used by instructors and administration to send you important messages and class information. Information about academic progress, financial aid, changes in course prerequisites, exam dates, university closings, etc. will be communicated via e-mail. It is your responsibility to check your KSU e-mail on a regular basis. Kennesaw State University is not responsible for mail that does not reach a forwarding address. Instructions on accessing the student e-mail system may be found at http://students.kennesaw.edu.
