Additional steps for admitted students
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.
Complete Your Tech Session
The Transfer Tech Session is a required virtual meeting with an Academic Success Navigator. During the session, you will activate your KU systems, schedule your Transfer Welcome Meeting (your academic advising and enrollment appointment), and get answers to your next-step questions. These sessions use a screen-share format to help you quickly learn the KU systems. We recommend attending on a computer rather than a phone for easier navigation and login.
File your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The FAFSA will be available starting in early October at studentaid.gov. You must file the FAFSA to be considered for federal loans, grants, work-study, and some state and university aid. To qualify for financial aid with limited funds, file your FAFSA as soon as possible. The priority date is Feb. 1 for fall admits. KU’s school code is 001948.
Plan for on-campus housing
If you plan to study in Lawrence, you can begin to apply for on-campus housing for the spring term in October and for the fall term in November. Spring housing options are limited. Complete your housing application early to maximize your housing options. For the fall term, housing applications must be submitted by May 1.
Register for Transfer Onboarding
Once you’ve completed your Tech Session, your KU Navigator will help you schedule your Transfer Welcome Meeting and your Transfer Onboarding session, which is KU's new student orientation for transfer students. All newly admitted transfer students are required to participate in Transfer Onboarding, which offers both in-person and online options.
Submit final transcripts or credit for prior learning
When you complete your final semester at your institution, you’ll need to have an official copy of your final college transcript sent to the Office of Admissions one week before classes begin due to the typical processing time to receive transfer transcripts. Transcripts must include a graduation date or completion of the most recent term. If you have AP, IB, ACT, and/or SAT scores, or CLEP scores, please submit these for placement in mathematics or non-English language courses.
Understanding Your New Student Fee
You'll see a $275 new student fee added to your bill after you enroll, as it is not a deposit there is no need to pay this fee upfront.
