Admission to KU

To be in the Jayhawk Blueprint program you will have to apply to KU as a Non-Degree Seeking student. Complete the application if this is your first Jayhawk Blueprint course or you have had a break in semesters since you last took a Blueprint course.

Apply to KU as a Non-Degree Seeking Student.

Which describes you?

I took a Blueprint course the semester prior to my next course.

If you are taking Jayhawk Blueprint courses during consecutive (back-to-back) semesters, you only need to complete the Non-Degree Seeking student application the first semester in which you are taking a Jayhawk Blueprint course. If you took a course in spring 2023 and plan to take another in fall 2023, please complete the sign-up form. You should not complete the non-degree seeking student application again.

For example, if you are currently enrolled in a Jayhawk Blueprint course and are planning to take a course the upcoming semester, you do not need to complete the Non-Degree Seeking student application again.

I have never taken a Jayhawk Blueprint course or had a break in semesters since my last Blueprint course.

Complete the non-degree seeking application specifically for Jayhawk Blueprint students. A parent/guardian signature is REQUIRED.

If you took a Jayhawk Blueprint course one semester, did not take a Jayhawk Blueprint course the next semester, and then want to take a Jayhawk Blueprint course again, you will need to complete the non-degree seeking application again because you have not been enrolled in consecutive semesters.

For example, if you took a Jayhawk Blueprint course in the past but did not take a Jayhawk Blueprint course the semester prior to when you want to take your next course, you need to complete the Non-Degree Seeking student application again because there was a break in your KU enrollment.

If you are applying to KU for your first Jayhawk Blueprint course or you have had a break in the semesters in which you took a Jayhawk Blueprint course, follow the steps below.
