A. | If you live in Kansas, your high school guidance counselor should have a list of all of the courses your school offers and how they fit into the Qualified Admissions requirements. If you live outside of Kansas, those determinations are made at the time of application.

A. | Our published admission standards for transfer students are that students transferring from a Kansas college or university must have at least 24 credit hours with a 2.0 or higher GPA.

A. | You are assigned a KUID number after you have applied to the university. This number should appear on your admission letter. If you can not find your admissions letter then you may call our office and have another letter sent. |
| |
A. | Foreign Language is not a part of our Qualified Admission standards although it certainly makes a candidate more competitive for scholarships. |
| |
A. | For out-of-state students that don't meet the published standards, an admissions committee determines if the student has special circumstances that would allow KU to extend an admissions offer. Sometimes the committee will extend a conditional admit offer where a student has to be enrolled in 24 credit hours and earn a 2.0 GPA their first year. |
| |
A. | For a student attending an unacredited high school, the only way to gain admission would be through the ACT or SAT scores component of Qualified Admission. |
| |

If you have not applied for housing, you should consider doing so. To learn more about KU housing opportunities, reference the housing website.
You should also consider applying for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid if you have not as well. Check out the KU Financial Aid Office online. |

A. | I'm assuming that you received your New Student Orientation materials a few days before your admit letter was mailed or that your admission letter got lost in the mail or that it was some sort of mistake. If you would like to check on the status of your application, you can check the online status check at www.admissions.ku.edu/status. |

A. | Students who have earned the GED certificate before January 1, 2002 with an overal score of not less than 250 points and a score of not less than 50 points on each subtest may be admitted to the university. Students earing the GED certificate after January 1, 2002 will have an overall score of not less than 2550 points, and a score of not less than 510 points on each subtest to be admitted. You will need to submit your high school transcripts and standardized test scores along with your application. |
| |
A. | Students can transfer any amount of credit hours from a four year institution, however the student needs to speak with their department at KU to see how those classes will fulfill their degree requirements. There is not a guarantee that those transferred courses will fulfill KU requirements. Students transferring credits from a community college or other two year institution can transfer up to 64 credit hours. Again, each student should speak with an advisor in their department to see which courses will fulfill degree requirements. Every student must take a minimum of 30 credit hours on the KU campus to receive a degree from KU. |
| |
A. | A student can fulfill the computer technology requirement a variety of ways.
-Take a computer class through your high school (basic computer/software skills)
-Take a computer class through a local community college or university (Try to do this dual enrollment if possible, this way the course shows up on the student's high school transcript.)
-Take the computer proficiency exam on KU's website (The cost is $35. Go to www.kuce.org for instructions and registration.) |

A. | Students transferring from a Kansas college or university: Have at least 24 credit hours with a 2.0 or higher GPA. Students with fewer than 24 hours must meet different requirements.
Students transferring from an out-of-state college or university: Have at least 24 credit hours with a 2.5 or higher GPA. Students with fewer than 24 hours must meet different requirements.
Transfer students will be evaluated solely on their college grades after completing 24 credit hours of post-secondary work. Students who have completed fewer than 24 credit hours will be evaluated on a combination of their college GPAs and qualified admission standards. They must send in high school transcripts and test scores.
The Office of Admissions and Scholarships will recalculate your GPA for admission purposes by averaging ALL courses taken, including repeats.

A. | Unfortunately, once you have college credit you can not become a freshman again. You would have to fill out our transfer application for admissions but if you have fewer than 24 credit hours we would evaluate you on both your collegiate GPA and high school work.
