Alternative Admissions Options

Consider a Community or Technical College

If you need an alternative option beyond direct admission into a Kansas public university, consider starting your post-secondary education at a Kansas community or technical college. These institutions have open admission, and success at one of these 26 institutions can lead to future admittance into a Kansas public university.

Those who earn at least 24 credits and maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher at a community college or technical college may reapply to a Kansas public university for further consideration as a transfer student at Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, The University of Kansas (2.5 GPA required), or Wichita State University

Enroll in Systemwide Transfer Courses

If you choose to begin your post-secondary education at a community college or technical college, consider taking courses approved for Systemwide Transfer. You may view these courses within the Transfer Kansas portal.

A student who successfully completes any of these courses at a Kansas public university, community college, or technical college will be able to transfer the course to any Kansas public postsecondary institution offering an equivalent course.
