Optional Payment Methods

Optional Payment methods are available for the following:

Sponsored students.
Students whose tuition and fees are paid by a third party other than family or financial aid. If you are fully or partially sponsored, your letter of authorization for Spring 2008 must be received from your sponsor in the Bursar's Office no later than December 1, 2007 to appear on the bill. If you are sponsored and your letter of authorization is NOT received by the Bursar's Office by January 15, 2008, you should pay your account balance in full or enroll in TMS to avoid the late payment fees. If you are partially sponsored, pay all amounts not covered by the sponsorship by January 15, 2008 to avoid nonrefundable late payment fees.

Student-veterans.
Students who are eligible for this option may request a fee payment deferment by completing the appropriate form from the Veterans Representative, 151 Strong Hall. Application deadline for veteran deferments is January 15, 2008.

GTA's and GRA's. Students who have a Graduate Teaching Assistant or Graduate Research Assistant appointment and have enrolled for the Spring 2008 semester may request a fee payment deferment through the Bursar's Office in room 20 of Carruth-O'Leary. You may complete this request form anytime after signing a GTA or GRA contract offer. Application deadline for GTA/GRA deferments is January 15, 2008.

Your financial aid is electronically transferred to your University account. If your tuition and fees will be covered partially by financial aid, pay the amount indicated in the "PAY THIS AMOUNT" section of your eBill by the January 15, 2008 deadline. If you expect financial aid but it is NOT projected on your eBill, do NOT assume that the aid will electronically transfer to your University account. Check the status of your financial aid in Enroll & Pay. Complete all remaining steps including any Subsidized, Unsubsidized, Perkins and/or Parent Loan (PLUS) promissory notes prior to the due date so funds are available as expected. If your parent will be applying for a PLUS load, they are required to complete the PLUS Loan Request Form and submit it to the Office of Student Financial Aid.

If you did not authorize KU to apply financial aid to charges other than Spring 2008 tuition, fees and on-campus housing, you must pay all charges by the due date even if your eBill projects excess financial aid. Options may be canceled if not paid in full by the due date. If you would like to give KU permission to pay other charges, you may update your status in Enroll & Pay .

Financial Aid and Scholarship Distribution (FASD): January 15 & 16, 2008.
Excess financial aid in the form of PAPER checks will be available to pick up on January 15th and 16th. (Lawrence campus location-Bursar's office in Strong Hall, specific rooms to be determined). The cashier windows are open from 8:10AM-4PM, Monday-Friday except Thursday 9:10AM - 4PM.) After these dates, all financial aid checks will be sent via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or by mail.
Direct Deposit: If you would like to utilize direct deposit, please complete a Direct Deposit Authorization form located at www.bursar.ku.edu (select Forms) and submit it to the Bursar's Office. Once you have submitted the form, any excess financial aid and other credit balances will be electronically transferred to your bank account each semester. If you change bank accounts, you must submit a new Direct Deposit Authorization Form to the Bursar's Office.
By Mail: Unless a Direct Deposit Authorization form has been submitted, excess financial aid checks will be mailed to the student's billing address. Verify your address on the Enroll & Pay system. If no billing address exists, the permanent address will be used. If your parent will be receiving a PLUS loan, excess PLUS loan funds will be mailed to the address provided on the PLUS Request Form.

If you expect a change in your residency status or anticipate paying residency rates for any reason, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at (785) 864-4700.
