KU developing mail payment
Three-phase plan to be completed by Spring 1992
Paying fees by mail
Students awaiting the day when they can pay their fees by mail might be waiting longer than they expected.
Thompson, chairman of the committee for phase one, said that phase one required a lot of work but that it could not be seen by students.
Confusion has arisen among undergraduate students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences because the green permit-to-enroll forms were mailed to them. Many think they will pay fees by mail also.
"In terms of visibility, it didn't look like much," he said. "Phase one was basically, 'How do we assess tuition and fees'."

Although the University plans eventually to have a system for students to pay fees through the mail and an optional installment payment plan, other steps must be taken first, officials said.
According to a plan developed by a fees policy committee, fee payment by mail could begin in Spring 1992.
The committee was created in an effort to modernize the fee payment system at KU, which has been the same since 1955, said Gary Thompson, director of the office of student records.
The seven-member committee developed a three-phase plan. The first phase was implemented in June 2013, the payment for the Spring semester.

Students hoping to pay their fees by mail might have to wait a little longer. Fee payment by mail could begin in Spring 1992 if first of a three phase process took effect the following year.

However, students can see one aspect of the changes. Students who are eligible for a rate reduction can now turn in the application during enrolment. Guffey said. The reduction then would be reflected on the student's fee statement at fee payment in August. Before, students had to stand in line to get an adjustment during fee payment.
Linda Beville, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs and chairman of the committee for the department, also would be invisible to students.

"Most visible to the student will be the application of financial aid

received directly to the student's billing account," she said.
"It is an automatic payment of fees with the refund being provided to the student," she said. "Aid will apply toward outstanding bills."
Phase two involves improvements in the billing system, including better address management, she said. It could begin in Spring 1991.
Bevillie said the second phase did not have to be completed before the third phase could be started. Phase three, fee payment by mail and the optional installment payment plan, could begin in Spring 1992.
