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.

Concurrent enrollment (Jayhawk Blueprint) courses are taught in the high schools by high school faculty. The student will have credit for the college 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 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 or by email. Once the student has 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.

Concurrent Enrollment 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 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!


Parent/Guardian FAQs

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 KUID# 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.

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.

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

Many classes are made up of several credit hours. For courses taught on campus, 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.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, known as FERPA, grants protections to students regarding their personal information.

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.
