Admissions Procedures

Listed below are some of the specific procedures that Kaplan University has established for admission. For more information speak with an Admissions Representative or request an information packet.

  • All applicants must complete the required admissions documents and submit the necessary fee(s) stated on the Tuition and Fee Schedule.
    • Former students who have interrupted their studies must complete new documents for admission and will return under the University's current curriculum.
    • High school seniors may attend the University on a part-time basis, provided they obtain written permission from their high school principal and their parent(s). The credit earned will be applied to the curriculum the students select after graduation from high school. High school students are not eligible for financial aid assistance.
  • All applicants must complete an informational interview. Applicants are encouraged to bring parents or spouses to the interview.
  • All applicants are encouraged to tour the campus prior to starting classes.
  • Applications for credit for previous education, training, work experience (experiential learning), or CLEP must be completed prior to the first day of the course for which the transfer credit is requested. This may require testing by examination to determine credit for previous education, training, or work experience. Training received at foreign educational institutions may need to be evaluated for U.S. equivalency. There will be no charge for these evaluations except for those charges required by outside agencies. An official transcript translated into English by an authorized school official or appropriate outside agency, along with an explanation of the grading scale and course descriptions, should be submitted.
  • All courses are taught in English. You must be able to speak, read, and write English fluently. English abilities will be determined through the University's placement assessments (if applicable), an interview, and completion of necessary documents.
  • You must complete financial arrangements prior to starting class. If applicable, financial aid applications must be completed.
  • You must complete an Enrollment Agreement (must be signed by a parent or guardian if you are under 18 years of age).
