Yes, the application for admission to K-State for pre-college enrollment is free. If a student applies for admission after high school, an application fee will be assessed at that time.

No, high school students are not eligible for federal financial aid. Federal requirements state that students must have a high school diploma or GED to be eligible for federal aid.

No, K-State scholarships are currently available for pre-college enrollment. Other scholarship opportunities may exist at the student’s high school for dual credit/concurrent enrollment. Talk to a guidance counselor to see.

For fall, tuition generates in July and will be due the first day of the K-State semester in August. For spring, tuition generates in December and will be due the first day of the K-State semester in January. For summer, tuition generates in May and will be due mid-June. Students should check their KSIS account and K-State email for official tuition correspondence.

Grades are not mailed to your permanent address. Grades are posted online in the student's account. Students can view their grades under the My Academics tab in KSIS.

Students can setup a Tuition Installment Payment Plan with a $45 non-refundable fee that will divide the semester’s tuition into 4 monthly payments. Another option is to just make payments over the course of the semester knowing that a 1.5% late fee will be assessed each month until all charges are paid in full. If a student is only enrolled in 1 or 2 classes, the late fee option may be cheaper than the payment plan fee. Either way, students need to have their entire balances paid off by the end of the semester.

Yes, students will need to purchase a textbook for their course if the course requires one. Some courses utilize open/alternative resources that don't require a traditional textbook. Textbook information can be found by clicking the textbook icon next to a course on the online course schedule or by selecting the "Salina courses materials" link found in the Student Center in KSIS once the student is enrolled. Textbooks can be purchased at the bookstore in the College Center, room #101 or online.

All new students are required to attend a new student orientation before the semester starts. A brief tour will be included to show students where all their classrooms are located as well as where to park.

Enrollment for summer and fall begins mid-April. Enrollment for spring begins mid-November. Once enrolled, students are encouraged to check their course schedule in KSIS by going to Student Center, Other Academic, and Class Schedule.

The K-State academic calendar will not match other high school calendars. Start dates, end dates, final exam times, and holiday breaks will most likely be different. It is important for students to follow K-State’s Academic Calendar for official university dates.

Yes, students can drop a course if the request is received within the allowed drop timeframe. Please see the Academic Calendar for official drop/refund deadlines. Keep in mind that dropped courses may still be listed on a student’s transcript. There are also refund dates associated with dropped courses. There is only a short time to drop a course for a 100% refund.

Grades are not mailed to students’ residences. Final grades are posted online in their student accounts. Students can view their grades under the My Academics tab in KSIS.

Due to FERPA, parents/guardians do not have access to a student's academic record at the university level. Students can log into KSIS by using their eID and password to access their academic records. K-State policy prohibits students from sharing their account password with anyone.

Students can order an official transcript from their KSIS account by clicking on Other Academics. Current students may submit transcript orders at no charge. There is a short window of about 4 weeks after the semester ends to order them for free. After that, a $15 transcript fee will apply for each transcript order for former students. No walk-in or email requests for transcripts can be accepted. Students can also download an unofficial transcript themselves from the same location in KSIS.

Every university or college has its own policies on what courses they accept for transfer. Please check with an admissions representative or transfer portal at the college the student plans to attend. Many of K-State's general education courses are guaranteed to transfer across all the public higher education institutions in Kansas. Visit the Kansas Board of Regents transfer site for more information.

Yes, students will need to submit another application for admission to their specific program because admissions requirements may be different. An application fee will be accessed at that time. If a student plans to attend the Manhattan campus, no K-State transcript needs to be sent from the Salina campus as their pre-college classes will already be loaded in KSIS.

If students are interested in attending K-State after high school, please schedule a campus tour online for the Salina Campus or Manhattan Campus

Parents can receive general information about K-State’s enrollment process and course options from their high school through enrollment events or by contacting K-State. Once enrollment occurs, all enrollment and tuition correspondence from K-State will be sent to students only through their K-State email address. Even though students are still in high school, they are treated as college students. We hope that students do share information with their parent/guardian, but that responsibility lies with the student to have those conversations.
