5) Send in Your Final High School Transcript & College Transcripts
Time to wrap it up! If you have a copy of your high school transcript, you can upload a copy in your application portal!
Can’t get the final/official just yet? Don’t worry, we can use your unofficial transcript in the meantime. Just don’t forget to submit official copies right after high school graduation!
6) Meet TSI Requirements
If you didn’t take a dual credit English and/or Math class, you might need to submit placement test scores. Check with the KC Admissions Office to confirm! If you have taken the TSI before, you can also upload a copy of your score report in your application portal.
7) Submit Your Meningitis Shot Records (Or Get an Exemption)
Gotta stay healthy! Upload your shot records or an exemption waiver in your applicant portal.
8) Need Accommodations? We’ve Got Your Back!
If you need extra classroom support, interpreters, or have a service animal, the Office of Disability Services is here to help. Just reach out and get the process started!
