International students work with International Admissions, an office separate from the KU Office of Admissions that assists prospective students from outside the U.S. (Students who are in the process of applying for permanent residency are considered domestic students.)

DACA/undocumented students Click to expand

Undocumented students, with or without Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status, should follow the same application procedure for all other domestic, undergraduate KU applicants.

Kansas law KS 76-731a allows undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition if they meet specific in-state requirements. If you qualify, submit this application and affidavit, which is a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation and signed by a notary public to be used as evidence, to the Office of the University Registrar within 30 days of the first day of your first semester.

U.S. military veterans and active duty service members Click to expand

If you submitted only your JST, you should apply for admission as a freshman. If you have earned additional course credit from a college or university after graduating from high school, you should apply as a transfer. The Office of Admissions encourages our student veterans to email transfercredit@ku.edu to discuss individual situations.

Readmits Click to expand

Apply as a readmit if you attended KU before; you earned grades of A, B, C, D, F, W, WG, I, S or U; and it has been one semester or longer since you have attended KU. There is no fee for the readmit application, which contains a place for you to list your activities since leaving KU and include any schools you've attended.

If you are readmitted to KU you will be contacted by an Academic Success Navigator to assist with your early advising appointment scheduling to help you have a successful re-start at KU. If you need to connect with the Navigator Team after being readmitted, contact us at by emailing KU Navigator here or 785-864-1218. There are also Readmit FAQs available on the Academic Success website at this link.

Readmission is not guaranteed for students who left or were dismissed from KU. You may be readmitted if you left KU in good academic standing and are in good standing with all other institutions you've attended since your enrollment here.

Applicants to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences who were academically dismissed will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Dismissed readmits must submit official transcripts from all schools attended since leaving KU at least 2 weeks prior to the term start date to be considered for readmission.

Nondegree-seeking students are limited to six credit hours per semester and generally do not receive financial aid or live in university housing.
