Course Enrollment - Academic Classes

Exchange students must register and attend a virtual session of New Student Orientation before they can enroll in classes. Once you have completed New Student Orientation, your academic advisor will contact you to begin the enrollment process. For more information, please review the academic advising process for new students.

Course Enrollment - English Language Program

Students who will take classes in the English Language Program during their first semester at K-State will work with the English Language Program staff to enroll in their classes. An advisor will place you in the appropriate classes based on your English proficiency level.
