Visiting Students

Students who want to take undergraduate coursework at Kansas State University but don’t want to pursue a degree may apply and enroll in up to 15 total credit hours without meeting admission requirements.

Application Process

Visiting students are enrolled in courses after all degree-seeking students have enrolled.

• For a course starting in June or August, earliest enrollment for visiting students is typically in May.
• For a course starting in January, earliest enrollment for visiting students is typically in November.

Additional Information

• Transcripts and test scores are not required to be admitted as a visiting student unless you want to take a course that has a prerequisite. Test scores and official academic transcripts should be sent to the Office of Recruitment and Admissions (instructions).
• Visiting students who pursue coursework beyond the 15-hour limit will be required to submit academic credentials to be admitted to a degree program.
