General Payment Refunds
General payment refunds are disbursed after the 20th day of class. Effective November 1, 2009, KU has a new refund policy for Lawrence and Edwards Campus students requiring direct deposit for student account refunds.  

Direct Deposit into your bank account
Students may sign up for Direct Deposit through Enroll & Pay>Manage Account> Direct Deposit for Refunds.  Or, a Direct Deposit Authorization form located at www.bursar.ku.edu (select Forms) may be filled out and brought 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 update your bank information online or with a new Direct Deposit form.
 Important:  Students who do not personally deliver the form to the Bursar’s Office must have the form notarized.

Mail
To temporarily accommodate those who have not yet enrolled in Direct Deposit, paper checks will only be mailed once a week.  All 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.

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.
