KU Email & Communication

Once admitted to KU as a non-degree seeking student, you will start receiving important information that will be sent to your KU email account such as tuition bills and payment deadlines. To keep from missing valuable communication, you need to either check your KU email often or forward KU emails to another non-USD 497 email account that you do check regularly.
