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.
Submit proof of financial support
This documentation should prove adequate funding for the first year of your degree program or the duration of your exchange program. Bank, scholarship, sponsorship, and assistantship letters are common forms of proof. Once sufficient proof of finances is provided, International Support Services can determine whether you require an I-20 or DS-2019 immigration document and then create and provide that document to you. Learn more about submitting financial support documentation.
Receive full COVID-19 vaccination
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all noncitizens entering the U.S. by air are required to show proof of full vaccination, with limited exceptions. Learn more about how COVID-19 may impact your travel to the U.S.
