Optional Payment Methods

Optional Payment methods are available for the following:

1. Sponsored students.
   Students whose tuition and fees are paid by a third party other than another individual or financial aid. If you are fully or partially sponsored, your letter of authorization for Summer 2008 must be received from your sponsor in the Bursar's Office no later than April 1, 2008 to appear on the bill. If you are sponsored and your letter of authorization is NOT received by the Bursar's Office by May 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 May 15, 2008 to avoid nonrefundable late payment fees.
2. 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 May 15, 2008.

Financial aid recipients

• Most types of financial aid will appear on your April eBill as projected financial aid and are subtracted from the amount you owe. You must pay any amount not covered by financial aid by 4PM on May 15, 2008 (for main enrollment) or you may be assessed nonrefundable late payment fees.
If projected financial aid does not appear on your April eBill, you may select a different payment method or complete the financial aid process before the May 15, 2008 due date. Check the status of your financial aid in Enroll & Pay. You may also check the items on your To Do List in the Enroll & Pay system (Student Center --> To Do List).
• 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 May 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. You may also check the items on your To Do List in the Enroll & Pay system (Student Center --> To Do List). 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. Failure to submit requested information in a timely manner could affect your eligibility for some limited funded programs. Financial aid will not be awarded until all required additional information is received, processed, and your financial aid file is complete.
• If you did not authorize KU to apply financial aid to charges other than Summer 2008 tuition, fees and on-campus housing, you must pay all charges by the due date even if your eBill projects excess financial aid. If you would like to give KU permission to pay other charges, you may update your status in Enroll & Pay (Student Center --> Accept/Decline Awards --> Award Package Page 2).
• Financial Aid and Scholarship Distribution (FASD): June 3-4, 2008.
        Excess financial aid in the form of PAPER checks will be available to pick up on June 3rd and June 4th. (Lawrence campus location-Strong Hall, Room 23.) The cashier windows are open from 8:10AM-4PM, Monday-Friday except Thursday 9:40AM - 4PM.) After these dates, all financial aid funds will be deposited via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or sent by mail. Refunds for financial aid recipients who withdraw (drop all classes) may be applied first to any aid programs from which the student received aid.
  Direct Deposit: You are encouraged to complete the Direct Deposit Authorization form, which allows financial aid, scholarships, and/or other credit balances to be electronically deposited into your bank account. This is an easy and convenient way to receive a credit balance refund. You may complete the form online in Enroll & Pay by clicking on Student Center then Finances and clicking on Set Up Direct Deposit. If you change bank accounts, you must submit a new Direct Deposit Authorization Form to the Bursar's Office or make the change in Enroll & Pay.
  By Mail: Unless a Direct Deposit Authorization form has been submitted, all 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 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.
