Exchanging Money
Before you depart from your country, you can make arrangements to send your money directly to the University. You may send a bank draft or cashier’s check to:The University of Kansas Bursar's Office
1246 West Campus Road, Room 20
Lawrence, KS
66045-7505
Go to the Bursar’s Office to retrieve the check. This money can be applied to tuition and fees. If bank drafts or cashier’s checks made payable to the University are in excess of funds, it will be returned to you after enrollment. You may also have your money electronically wired to a local bank in the U.S. after you arrive and set up a bank account. In this case, you should bring enough money to cover your first month’s expenses AND your first semester tuition, books, insurance, and the expenses of setting up housing. DO NOT under estimate the amount of money needed. DO NOT carry a large amount of cash. In Lawrence it is difficult to exchange money from your currency to U.S. dollars. Your local bank may not offer this service or there may be a fee. Bring your money in traveler’s checks or get a bankcard to withdraw cash from an automatic teller machine (ATM).
