Enrollment

Before changing the courses that you are enrolled in at any point during a semester, consult with your academic advisor beforehand. This conversation is highly recommended to ensure you are making informed decisions.

(Note that switching time sections within the same course does not need prior communication with an academic advisor.)

Enrolling for the Upcoming Semester

All students must consult with their academic advisor before enrolling in classes for the upcoming semester. This meeting ensures the student is making progress towards their degree program while also aligning courses with the student's interests. This is also a time to talk about any changes in their personal, academic, or professional goals, and to develop a steps to meet those goals.

Advisors will send an invitation to schedule an enrollment advising appointment. Please wait for an email from your advisor with instructions.

Students must complete an Enrollment Worksheet with a tentative schedule prior to their appointment. Students who do not arrive on time or come unprepared will be asked to reschedule. If a student fails to do so, their advisor flag will not be lifted, and the student will not be able to enroll until advising has taken place.

Students are assigned a designated enrollment day/time based on their current academic level and total completed credit hours (this does not include currently enrolled courses). In KSIS, go to the "Student Center" to find your enrollment eligibility date and time. You'll see this information on the right side of the page under "Enrollment Dates."

After the student and the academic advisor complete a successful appointment, the advisor will remove the Advisor Hold (flag) in KSIS.

Students can enroll using the Student Center in KSIS after their enrollment date/time becomes available, provided there are no holds on their account.

Prepare for your Enrollment Advising Appointment

Wait for an email from your academic advisor with instructions on how to sign up for an enrollment advising appointment.

It is important to come prepared to your enrollment advising appointment so that it can be as productive and efficient as possible for you.

Before students meet with their advisor, they must build a tentative course schedule for the upcoming semester by completing an Enrollment Worksheet. Students who do not arrive on time or come unprepared will be asked to reschedule and come back with the required documentation at a later time.

Instructions for how to prepare and complete the Enrollment Worksheet

In KSIS under the Student Center, review any holds and take action accordingly. (The advisor hold will be removed after a successful advising appointment.)
Review your DARS report. If applicable, ensure any transfer credits are being pulled in correctly. Note any questions and bring them to your appointment.
Review your degree map (flowchart), for either the K-State Core K-State Core (Fall 2024 or after) or / K-State 8 (prior to Fall 2024).
Using DARS, mark off completed and currently enrolled courses on the degree map. This will aid in selecting courses you will take in the next semester.
Build your conflict-free schedule using the course schedule (dates/times) and the course catalog (pre/co-requisites). Consider one or two alternate courses (or sections) in case a class (or section) is full when you go to enroll. If unsure, build a schedule with courses you are considering and come prepared with course options and questions.
Add the courses you're interested in taking to your KSIS (Student Center) shopping cart for the intended semester. (Note that adding classes to your shopping cart does not reserve a spot in the class. Your spot is only secured once you are officially enrolled.)
Fill out the enrollment worksheet as completely as possible. If unsure, come prepared with course options and questions.
Email your completed enrollment worksheet (as an attachment) to your academic advisor prior to your appointment, or bring a paper copy with you.
On the day of your appointment, arrive at your advisor's office a few minutes early prepared with your enrollment worksheet and any questions.

Students who do not arrive on time or come unprepared will be asked to reschedule and come back with the required documentation at a later time.

If a student is unable to make their scheduled appointment, it is their responsibility to contact their academic advisor or reschedule via Navigate.

Note that waitlisted courses do not count towards total enrollment. If you need to be enrolled full-time for any reason, you should contact your advisor to discuss enrollment in an alternative back-up course.
