General Payment Refunds
General payments are refunded after the 20th day of class. Students may receive a refund by one of the following options:
Direct Deposit into your bank account
You may elect to have excess directly deposited into your checking or savings account. To select this option, please complete the Direct Deposit Authorization Form available on this website on the main page under FORMS. Deliver the completed form along with a cancelled check to the Bursar’s Office in Room 21 Strong Hall or Room 20 of Carruth O’Leary. There is no fee for using the direct deposit service. Once you sign up for direct deposit, all future excess will automatically be transferred to your bank account. You may also elect direct deposit online in Enroll and Pay.
IMPORTANT: Contact the Bursar’s Office immediately to cancel or update your direct deposit authorization if you close your bank account or determine a different bank account should be used respectively.
Pick up in person
Excess financial aid refund checks will only be available for pick up for FASD. Refer to the Bursars website or Office of Student Financial Aid calendars for specific dates.
Mail
With the exception of FASD, all refund checks are mailed. The check is mailed to the student at their billing address. To update your address, go to Enroll & Pay.
Withdrawing / Dropping hours
Depending on when you withdraw from the University, you may or may not owe for tuition and fees. Please refer to the Registrar’s website at www.registrar.ku.edu for more information and a refund schedule.
Canceling your enrollment
If you wish to cancel your enrollment, you may do so online at www.withdraw.ku.edu. If you do not intend to return to KU for the start of a new term, you must properly cancel your enrollment before the due date to avoid late fees. If you have accepted financial aid, you must also submit a written request to the Office of Student Financial Aid (OFSA) to cancel your awards. For additional information refer to the Withdraw/Dropping Information Sheet at www.financialaid.ku.edu.
