Application

Once your nomination has been approved by KU Study Abroad & Global Engagement (SAGE), please complete Steps 1 and 2 below to apply through both SAGE and the University of Kansas. The application deadline is March 15th if applying for the fall semester or academic year and October 15th if applying for the spring semester. 

Step1:  Apply through Study Abroad & Global Engagement (SAGE)

  • Go to KU Exchange Program and click “Apply Now” button.
  • Click “I am a new user and do not have login credentials to this site (Non-KU students first time log in only).”
  • Complete the New User Form and then click “Create Account.” Please use your email address at your home university as your username.
  •  An email will be sent to you with your temporary password which is valid for 5 days. Click on the link provided to reset your password. After doing this, you should be logged in. You will be prompted to create an application for the term that you are applying for and then enter your address and emergency contacts. 
  • Click on the “University of Kansas Exchange Program” link in order to access the Program Application Page (Pre-Decision). From this page, please upload a photo of yourself (for internal use only) so that we can easily identify you.

IMPORTANT: Please bookmark the Jayhawks Abroad login page and make note of your username because you will need to regularly access this account to submit pre-arrival information to SAGE. Be sure to login using the “Login with Portal Account” button.  If you select “Log in with KU Online ID,” the system will view you as an outbound KU student and you will not be able to see the appropriate application.

Step 2: Apply to KU by following the application instructions in Jayhawks Abroad. 

  • Undergraduate students: follow the International Admissions Application Instructions.
  • Graduate students: follow the School of Graduate Studies Admissions Instructions. 
  • If you are unsure which set of instructions to follow, please contact inboundexchange@ku.edu for guidance.
