Pay the enrollment deposit

There is no charge for paying by electronic check. There is a 2.85% charge for paying with a credit card (MasterCard, Discover, Visa, and American Express are accepted).

1. Create your KU Online ID
2. Log in to Enroll & Pay
3. If Enroll and Pay logs you out, click on Enroll and Pay in the upper right corner and login again.
4. Once logged in, go to “Student Financial”, click “Make Payment” then “Pay tuition, housing, other.
5. You will then need to login again using Single Sign-on
6. Make payment, click $221 and continue
7. Choose payment – if paying by credit card, choose Credit Card via Path
8. Click continue and finish payment process

If you have recently been admitted and do not see a charge, please check back tomorrow.

You can assign a parent or delegate the ability to pay your enrollment deposit and future bills at KU. Students must set up this access themselves — don't share your KU Online ID and password with others. To allow parents/delegates to make payments on your behalf, they must be setup in two places, first as a Delegate in Enroll & Pay, then also as a Payment Delegate with our third party payment vendor. Please follow both sets of instructions below. To set up a delegate:

1. Create your KU Online ID
2. Log in to Enroll & Pay
3. Click on "Student delegation"
4. Click on "Set up Delegates"
5. Fill out your delegate’s information & check the boxes that correspond with the access you wish to allow (Student Financials must be checked to allow payments).
6. Click on “Send Email”. Your delegate will receive their login information by email.

**To allow your delegate/parent to make payments on your behalf, you also need to proceed to Payment Delegate setup directions below**
