Enrollment Planning
We want your time as a Jayhawk to be as seamless as possible!
Enrolling in Classes
Enrolling in classes is one of the most exciting steps for most students because it is your opportunity to select classes that will lead to your degree. As a student at KU you may find we use terms that you want more information on. For that we have created a definitions page.
Orientation
For our newest Jayhawks, or a Jayhawk returning for a graduate degree the Orientation teams at KU are here to prepare you for your KU experience. Many items on the undergraduate Pre-Orientation to-do list help you prepare to enroll in your classes. In fact, Orientation is when you will meet with your advisor to select classes and enroll.
Academic Catalog
Graduation requirements and regulations for every academic program are provided in the University of Kansas academic catalog. Degree requirements and course descriptions are subject to change. In most cases, you will use the catalog of the year you entered KU to determine your requirements. Your advisor is here to help you select classes that will lead to your degree.
Schedule of Classes
The Schedule of Classes offers both basic and advanced course search options. And to assist you with course planning and registration, KU is launching a new tool to students in phases over the Spring 2025 term. The KU Planner (powered by Stellic), will allow students with a Fall 2024 and future catalog and requirement term to build a schedule and enroll in classes that fits your needs. Once you've created your ideal schedule, you can seamlessly transfer your selected courses into your shopping cart to complete your registration in Enroll & Pay.
Adding Classes
After you have met with your advisor it is time to enroll in classes! Students can add most classes through Enroll & Pay. However, there are times when a student cannot add a class through Enroll & Pay. There are a variety of resources available for students to help resolve issues you may have while enrolling.
