How to Enroll
Current KU students should enroll for summer courses through the same online system used during the academic year.
Students from other institutions or backgrounds who wish to enroll in summer courses at KU may do so as non-degree seeking students. You must apply for admission as a non-degree seeking student through KU's Admissions page, and then enroll in the appropriate courses after acceptance. International individuals seeking to enroll as non-degree seeking students may apply through KU's International Admissions page. Doreen Siilo, Assistant Director of the Kansas African Studies Center, is available to answer questions about the Institute. Contact her at dsiilo@ku.edu or 785-864-1064.
