If a student changes their mind after payment, the fees are non‑refundable.

Specific account or portal details are provided during the registration process.
- Photocopy/clip purchases and similar small payments: purchased from the school office; payment methods are handled at point of sale by the administration office.
Summary (practical highlights for parents)
- There is no tuition or application fee for regular enrollment in the school's STX, HF or IB programmes because Kolding Gymnasium is a state‑funded day school.
- Expect modest mandatory or optional charges for specific services: locker rental (DKK 150/yr), fitness room (DKK 400/yr), photocopying beyond the free allocation (DKK 1 per clip), excursions (DKK 100 to DKK 4,600 depending on the trip), and IB retake/exam fees where applicable.
- There are no boarding fees because the school does not provide boarding.
