General Info
Please see the New Fiscal Year 2007 Departmental Deposit Training manual here:
Dept Deposit How To .
State law and University policy require that all receipts be deposited at the Bursar's Office. No disbursements are to be made from accumulated undeposited receipts.
Deposits must be delivered to the Bursar's Office daily. A drop box is available at the loading dock behind Carruth O'Leary or behind Strong Hall(north side) near the Stop sign.
For the safe guard of university assets, do NOT keep checks or cash in a departmental office overnight or send through campus mail. Upon receipt of a check, the department must immediately endorse the check to reduce or prevent lost checks from being easily cashed.
Effective September 1, 1988, federal regulations require standardization of check endorsements. Since all endorsements by the University must fit within a 1 1/2 inch space on the trailing edge of the check, please assure that your departmental stamp will not take up more than ½ to ¾ inches. Therefore, endorsements should include the following information - For Deposit Only, Department Name/Org #, University of Kansas.
If money received by a department is payment on a University bill, the payment must be delivered to the Bursar's Office. The responsibility to bill and collect University charges rests with the Bursar's Office. If a student asks where they should send payment to pay University charges (tuition, fees, housing, options), the address is University of Kansas, Bursar's Office, PO 414680, Kansas City, MO 64141.
