Before Paying Your Deposit

Before submitting your deposit, make sure you have created your KU Online ID, which is required to access Enroll & Pay.

If you have recently been admitted and do not see the enrollment deposit charge in Enroll & Pay, check back the following day as the charge may take time to appear on your account.

When submitting payment online, make sure your browser allows pop-ups, as additional windows may open during the payment process.

A 2.95% processing fee applies to credit card payments. There is no fee when paying by electronic check.

Deposit Refund Policy

The enrollment deposit may be refundable or partially refundable depending on outstanding charges on your KU account.

If you update your application by May 1 to indicate that you will not attend KU, the deposit is refundable.

If you attend Orientation and/or enroll in classes, the deposit becomes nonrefundable.

For questions regarding a refund of the deposit, email adm@ku.edu.

Types of Enrollment Deposit
