Enrolling in courses
The video and instructions below will guide you through the process of enrolling in classes in KSIS (K-State's student information system).
When to enroll in courses
U.S. citizens/permanent residents: As long as enrollment has opened for your term of admission you can enroll in classes as soon as you have been admitted. Refer to K-State's Academic Calendar, which outlines dates for when enrollment opens.
Non-U.S. citizens: You must first arrive to campus and check in with the Graduate School. Our admissions staff will matriculate your student record, and then you will be able to enroll in classes.
Important dates and deadlines
Refer to K-State's Academic Calendar, which outlines dates for when enrollment opens, the last day to add a course without instructor permission, deadlines to drop classes for a full, partial, or no refund and deadlines to withdraw from a class (no refund and "W" appears on your transcript).
Non-standard course deadlines
The drop and withdrawal dates listed on the Academic Calendar are for standard (16-week) courses, and the deadlines will vary for non-standard courses. This KSIS help guide shows you how to find the drop and withdrawal deadlines for your specific courses.
How do I know what courses to take?
Consult with your advisor or the director of your graduate program on what courses to take your first semester. If you’re not sure who your advisor is, learn how to find your advisor in KSIS.
