Additional steps for admitted students
Provide official transcripts
Before you can complete the admission process and enroll, you must provide International Admissions with official transcripts from every educational institution you have attended. These original documents must display your name, a school seal, and an administrator’s signature. Transcripts must be in the school's native language and come with English translations. All documents you submit become KU property and will not be returned or forwarded. Transcripts may be sent electronically by a legitimate document delivery service, such as Naviance or Docufide, or sealed and mailed.
Set up your KU Online ID and email address
Log in at this link and follow the instructions to obtain your assigned KU online ID and email address, set up account security, and create additional email aliases. You'll need your 7-digit student ID number (KUID) — not the username you used to apply online — you can find it at admissions.ku.edu/status.
Get your immigration document
Once admitted, you will receive an email from International Support Services inviting you to complete forms in the iHawk system. Once you submit the required forms, International Support Services will determine if you require an I-20 or DS-2019 immigration document for the student visa and can prepare either document as appropriate. Learn more about obtaining your immigration document. Review additional steps for applying for a visa and pre-arrival.
Plan for on-campus housing
You can begin to apply for on-campus housing in November! If you complete the Housing & Residence Life application by January 10, 2026, you’ll qualify for the initial room selection lottery group when room selection begins in May.
