Welcome to KU
Congratulations to every international student admitted to the University of Kansas. Our community is eager to welcome you to campus and help you achieve your goals.
Next steps
Between admission and arrival, you must take several steps to ensure that you are prepared and compliant. Below are the next steps you should focus on for now.
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 to this address:

Set up your KU Online ID
Using the seven-digit ID number you set up in MyIdentity account, establish a KU Online ID, which will grant you access to a KU email account, online enrollment and tuition payment, and the iHawk system used to submit electronic immigration forms.
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.
