Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your high school counselor. They have access to your KU ID number and will be able to assist you.

Your KU Online ID is the username you will use to log into any of KU's online systems, including Enroll & Pay. Your Online ID is typically a letter followed by three numbers, another letter, and three more numbers. Once you are admitted to KU as a non-degree seeking student, you will need to set up your KU Online ID. To do this, you will need your KU ID number, which KU Admissions should have sent you after you were admitted to KU via standard mail, and your date of birth. (Your high school counselor will be able to help you access your KU ID number, if needed.)  Click here to set up your KU Online ID. Once you have set-up your KU Online ID, you can use that to log in to any of your KU accounts, including Enroll & Pay. For more information on setting up your KU Online ID, view this video tutorial. 

If you have previously set up your KU Online ID, but have forgotten what it is, contact Melissa Johnson at blueprint@ku.edu. She is the Jayhawk Blueprint Program Coordinator and will be able to assist you with accessing your KU Online ID.

No, not through Jayhawk Blueprint. Only the designated classes are available through Jayhawk Blueprint for the discounted rate. 

Payment for Jayhawk Blueprint courses can be made to the University of Kansas in two ways: online using Enroll & Pay or by mail-in check using the address on your bill.

To pay your bill online (through Enroll & Pay): 

1. First, you need to set up your KU Online ID (if you have not done so already) at: https://myidentity.ku.edu/setup/login. You will need your KU ID number and date of birth to complete this setup. Your high school counselors will be able to assist you with your KU ID number if you do not have it. 
2. Next, log in to KU Enroll & Pay; you will need your KU online ID (this is different from your KU ID number) and password to log in. Contact blueprint@ku.edu if you need help.
3. Click on the Student Financials tile.
4. This takes you to the Account Summary page. From here, you can view your account summary, charges due, account activity, and payment history.
5. To pay your bill, click on the side menu button that says Pay Bills/KUCard/Dining $. This shows the Make a Payment page.
6. Next, click on the Pay Tuition, Housing, and Other Charges button. This will redirect to our payment system, TouchNet, in a new window.
7. Once you're in TouchNet, you will click on Make Payment. Select the amount and method of payment and confirm.

To pay your bill in person or by mail (please note it may take longer to process in person or mailed payments):

1. Tuition payments may be dropped off at KU. There is a drop box outside of Carruth-O'Leary Hall (1246 W Campus Rd, Lawrence, KS 66045) on campus where checks can be dropped. Checks MUST have the student’s KU ID# on them. Please make checks or money orders payable to the University of Kansas.
2. Tuition payments may also be mailed. Please make checks or money orders payable to the University of Kansas. Checks MUST have the student’s KU ID# on them. Remit the bottom portion of the bill (if you have it) along with payment to:

          University of Kansas Student Accounts

          The University of Kansas

          1246 West Campus Road, Room 20

Advanced Placement are special sections of high school courses designated by the high school to prepare students for national Advanced Placement tests. Students may earn college credits for these courses based upon their scores on these tests. Generally, students must earn scores of at least a 3 (on a scale of 1-5) on these national exams to earn college credit.

Jayhawk Blueprint (Concurrent enrollment) courses are taught in the high schools by high school faculty. The student will earn KU/college credit for the course, a KU transcript, and exposure to college-level learning while still in high school upon successfully completing the course(s).

Only if you grant them delegate access. Delegate access within Enroll & Pay allows your parent or guardian to view your course schedule, grades, and/or financials. Setting up Delegate Access is also necessary if you would like to give KU permission to release information about your record to your parent or guardian over the phone or by email. Once you have granted the delegate access, there are additional instructions for the delegate to complete the process.

We highly recommend all Jayhawk Blueprint students set up a delegate.

Jayhawk Blueprint students cannot withdraw from their KU class(es) without approval from their high school counselor. Reach out to your counselor to discuss options. If you both decide dropping is the best option, your counselor will give you a link to an online drop form to complete. Please be aware that you may still have to pay for the course depending on when you drop the class. Please review the drop deadlines.

You need to complete the KU drop form as soon as you drop the course within your high school.

It depends when you drop the course. The withdraw, also referred to as a W, will not impact your college GPA. Please check out the drop deadlines. 

KU allows you to change your name in our system and to make your KU email match your correct name. Please check out the Student Involvement and Leadership Center's instructions on how to update your name.

Until a bill is paid, the following may occur:

• Students will not be able to enroll in future Jayhawk Blueprint courses or any other courses at KU.
• Those students needing a transcript to transfer credits to another institution will not be able to have a transcript processed.
• The bill may be sent to a collection agency.

KU will apply a $100 late payment fee for the first and second month of the fall and spring terms for any unpaid tuition and fee balances and, thereafter, a 1.5% monthly assessment if a bill still is not paid. Bills must be paid on-time, or late fees will be applied!

Tutoring services through KU are available to Jayhawk Blueprint students at no additional cost. Click here for additional information on tutoring services and how to schedule an appointment.

Once admitted to KU as a non-degree seeking student, you will start receiving important information that will be sent to your KU email account such as tuition bills and payment deadlines. To keep from missing valuable communication, you need to either check your KU email often or forward KU emails to another non-USD 497 email account that you do check regularly.

Instructions on Forwarding your KU Email: 

1. Go to outlook.office.com/mail to log in to your KU email account using your KU online ID and password.
2. In the upper right corner of the screen, click the “Settings” gear.
3. Next, in the "Layout" navigation, click "Forwarding."
4. Check the “Enable forwarding” box, and type your personal email into the “Forward my email to” box.
5. Type an email address that you check regularly that is not your USD 497 email address, such as a Gmail or other Outlook address.
6. Remember to check your junk or spam folder regularly to make sure you don’t miss an important message.

Delegate access within Enroll & Pay allows you, as the parent or guardian, access to view your student's course schedule, grades, and/or financials. Setting up Delegate Access is also necessary if you want KU to release information about your student's record to you over the phone. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, known as FERPA, grants protections to students regarding their personal information. KU cannot disclose personal information about a student to their parent(s)/guardian(s), such as grades or holds, without permission from the student. To grant permission, students can set up delegate access via Enroll & Pay. For additional information, please see the KU Registrar's website.

The best advice we can offer is for your student to meet with their high school counselor. For advice on questions to ask their counselor, please check out our Courses page. It is also important to remember that Jayhawk Blueprint courses are intended to be more challenging, so make sure to consider that if you are helping your student pick courses. 

Additionally, the Kansas Board of Regents maintains a Kansas System-Wide Transfer Portal. Most Jayhawk Blueprint courses are part of the system, which means the courses should transfer to Kansas public institutions. Contact individual colleges in our outside of Kansas to verify transferability of any course. A course's ability to transfer to another institution should also be considered when selecting courses.

Tuition/fees bills are sent directly to students via the KU email account. We recommend students forward their KU email to a preferred email account they check regularly so they do not miss important communication.

Additionally, the Jayhawk Blueprint program and USD 497 will send periodical billing updates to students at their preferred email address and to parents/guardians if an email address is on file. Parents may include an email address to receive periodic updates when their student completes the Jayhawk Blueprint sign-up form.

Checks for tuition/fees payments may be mailed. 

Remit the bottom portion of the bill along with payment to:

University of Kansas Student Accounts

The University of Kansas

1246 West Campus Road, Room 20

Lawrence, KS 66045

Please make checks or money orders payable to University of Kansas. Please include the correct student KU ID# on all checks.

To avoid non-refundable late payment fees, your payment must be RECEIVED by the due date. Therefore, please allow appropriate mailing time so that your payment is received by the due date. Student Accounts and Receivables does not accept post-dated checks. All payments will apply to the oldest charges first. You cannot select the charges to pay.

Once you apply to KU as a non-degree seeking student through the Jayhawk Blueprint program, you will receive an acceptance letter. This means you are approved to register for courses by KU. A member of the Jayhawk Blueprint team will register you in your Jayhawk Blueprint course in the KU system. 

During this time, students can make adjustments to their schedule with their high school counselor. If you change which classes you are taking during this period of time or remove a class from your schedule, your bill will be updated to reflect the change in charges. It is important to pay attention to the timeline and not put off making changes to your schedule. You will only receive a 100% refund on classes you drop within the first week of classes. After this time, the refund rate drops to 50%, then 0%. Check out the Dates & Deadlines page for exact dates and times. If you drop a class outside of the drop/add period, you will receive a ‘W’ on your transcript, indicating that you withdrew from the course. If you feel like you need to withdraw from a class or all of your classes, you should talk to your counselor or teacher. They can make sure that you have the support you need to either finish the semester or the tools necessary to reenroll when you are ready.

This office will contact you once you have been accepted into the Jayhawk Blueprint program. If you have any questions about how to apply, contact the Jayhawk Blueprint Program Coordinator. 

Bills for Jayhawk Blueprint will be paid directly to the University of Kansas. Payment for Jayhawk Blueprint courses can be made to the University of Kansas in two ways: online using Enroll & Pay or by mail-in check using the address on your bill.

Advanced Placement courses are special sections of high school courses designed to prepare students for national Advanced Placement tests. Students may earn college credits for these courses based upon their scores on these tests. Generally, students must earn scores of at least a 3 (on a scale of 1-5) on these national exams to earn college credit.

Jayhawk Blueprint courses (concurrent enrollment courses) are taught in the high schools by high school faculty. The student will earn KU/college credit for the course, a KU transcript, and exposure to college-level learning while still in high school upon successfully completing the course(s).

Many college classes are made up of several credit hours. For example, for courses taught on-campus at KU, one credit hour generally equals one hour of class. For Jayhawk Blueprint, the number of credit hours for a course is determined by the on-campus version of the course. It is important to remember how many credit hours a course is because that determines how much the course will cost. 

These are students who are admitted to KU either part-time or full-time and are actively working toward a degree. After you graduate high school, if you decide to come to KU, you will have to reapply as a degree-seeking student to attend. 

Delegate access within Enroll & Pay allows your parent or guardian access to view your course schedule, grades, and/or financials. Setting up Delegate Access is also necessary if you would like to give KU permission to release information about your record to your parent or guardian over the phone. 

Enroll & Pay is KU's student information system. Through this system you can see which KU classes you are enrolled in, access grades for any completed courses, pay your tuition bill, and add delegates.

Each semester you want to take Jayhawk Blueprint courses you have to sign-up and enroll. This is a two-step process: 1) enrolling at your high school and 2) filling out either the sign-up form (if you completed a Jayhawk Blueprint course the previous semester) or non-degree seeking student application (if you have never taken a Jayhawk Blueprint class or didn't complete a Blueprint course the previous semester). Someone from the Jayhawk Blueprint team will enroll you in the KU section of the course after you finish the first two steps.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, known as FERPA, grants protections to students regarding their personal information. This includes the right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. This means that KU cannot disclose personal information about a student to their parent(s)/guardian(s), such as grades or holds, without permission from the student. To grant permission, students can set up delegate access via Enroll & Pay. For additional information, please see the KU Registrar's website.

These are foundational courses that are intended to help you gain a basic understanding in key subject areas. Many of the Jayhawk Blueprint courses fulfill general education requirements so that you can make meaningful progress toward a degree by taking Jayhawk Blueprint courses.

Jayhawk Blueprint courses count toward your high school and KU grade point average (GPA). As in high school, this record will carry over from year-to-year and stay with you during your time at KU. 

A hold is placed on your Enroll & Pay account for several reasons, including if you have an unpaid bill. It will prevent you from enrolling in Jayhawk Blueprint or other KU courses. If you see another type of hold on your account and have questions, email the Jayhawk Blueprint Coordinator. 

This person works for KU in Academic Success. They can help answer all your questions ranging from enrollment, bills, and other things related to KU. Please feel to reach out if you have any questions.

Most of the courses selected for Jayhawk Blueprint transfer to all other Kansas Board of Regents institutions, but you should double check with each school you're interested in to see how they will transfer. Jayhawk Blueprint courses are meant to help you earn credits that will count toward general education requirements. If you end up attending a school that is not a Kansas Board of Regents institution, the courses may still transfer. Make sure to check with each school to see what credits count toward their graduation requirements. 

This is your main email in the Enroll & Pay system unless you change the email. It is important to check this email regularly to make sure you are not missing any communication from KU. Once you have set-up you KU Online ID, you will automatically have a KU email account created. KU IT has instructions for how to check your KU email from a computer or mobile device. We recommend forwarding your KU email to a non-USD 497 email account that you check regularly. 

Students at the University of Kansas are assigned a unique identification number called a KU ID number. It is a seven-digit number that can be found on your Enroll & Pay account. After you have been accepted to KU, your ID number will be mailed to you from the Office of Admissions via standard mail. It is different from your KU online ID, which has a series of numbers and letters. 

If you need your KU ID number, contact your high school counselor.

Your KU Online ID is the username you will use to log into any of KU's online systems, including Enroll & Pay. Your Online ID is typically a letter followed by three numbers, another letter, and three more numbers. Once you are admitted to KU as a non-degree seeking student, you will need to set up your KU Online ID.

This is what all Jayhawk Blueprint students are classified as in KU's system. It means that you are not currently pursuing a specific degree at KU. However, after you graduate high school, you can apply to KU as a degree-seeking student if you want to earn a degree from KU.

A member of the KU Jayhawk Blueprint team will enroll you in the KU section of your Jayhawk Blueprint course. After they enroll you, you will be able to see the course in your Enroll & Pay account.

Student Accounts and Receivables (SAR) is the office responsible for financials at the University of Kansas. They are the ones that take the payments for Jayhawk Blueprint courses.

This is an official record of a student's coursework at a school or college. If you want to transfer your Jayhawk Blueprint credits to another college or university, you will have to request a copy of your transcript from KU. 

Most of the courses selected for Jayhawk Blueprint transfer to all other Kansas Board of Regents institutions. They are meant to help you earn credits that will count toward general education requirements. If you end up attending another Kansas Board of Regents institution, you will have transfer credit from KU after you successfully complete any Jayhawk Blueprint course(s). 

Tuition through Jayhawk Blueprint is offered at a discounted rate. To calculate how much you will owe, multiply the cost per credit hour times the number of credits you are enrolled in through Jayhawk Blueprint. If you are interested in taking Jayhawk Blueprint courses but are concerned about the cost, contact your high school counselor for tuition waiver opportunities.

Grades that you earn in your Jayhawk Blueprint courses are on your college transcript. If you fail a Jayhawk Blueprint course, it will remain on your KU transcript. A "W" appears on your transcript if you withdraw from a class after the cut off drop date. This will not affect your GPA. Do remember that if you withdraw or drop a class, you are only eligible for a full or partial refund before certain dates. Make sure to check the important dates and deadlines each semester to find out when the dates are. If you are concerned about failing a course or think you might need to withdraw, talk to your teacher and high school counselor. It is best to get help sooner rather than later in the semester.
