Readmitted Student Orientation


A student who has previously attended KU is a readmitted student. They may elect to participate in a continuing student enrollment or attend an orientation program. If a student has questions about which process is best for them, they need to consult with an advisor or contact the Office of the University Registrar.

Orientation will involve an update session on recent changes at KU, an academic information meeting, advising and enrollment. Students that have not attended KU for several years and need more extensive information may want to consider attending the entire session. With regard to academic advising, in most cases students will follow the degree requirements in effect when they first attended KU. Students may verify their status with their academic division.

If a student attended other colleges since departing KU, send official transcripts to KU's Office of Admissions. If there is not time to send a final transcript before orientation, bring a grade report or an official transcript to assist in advising. Failure to supply information on all college credits completed could delay your advising and enrollment and result in inappropriate course selection.

The following is an example of a typical readmit student orientation session. Session topics and times are subject to change. Students will be given an up-to-date program schedule during check-in for your orientation ssession. There is no family & guest program.
