Incoming Freshmen
The priority deadline has been extended to November 8.
Incoming Freshman should apply to the Honors Program when they submit their application to the University of Kansas through KU Admissions. Along with the standard application materials required by KU (ACT/SAT scores, etc.), a University Honors application will also require a resume and a response to one of three essay questions (PDF). Applications will not be reviewed until a high school transcript has been received by Admissions. Before applying, be sure to read through our Tips for Applicants.
Already admitted to KU?
Incoming Freshman who do not apply to the Honors Program through the Admissions website can still apply online once admitted to KU through the Incoming Freshmen: Honors Program Application.
- Be sure you're using the latest version of Firefox or Internet Explorer to submit the form. (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge do not support the required Java plugin.)
- Before submitting your application, please make sure the Attachments button indicates the correct number of attachments. For example, after attaching one document, the Attachments button will display like this “Attachments (1)”. After attaching two documents, the Attachments button will display like this “Attachments (2)”.

- Once you’ve been admitted to KU, use your KU ID provided by Admissions to apply through the Incoming Freshmen: Honors Program Application.
