Next Steps for Enrolling at Kennesaw State University as a Transfer Student or Adult Learner

Congratulations on officially becoming a part of Owl Nation!

We know how stressful enrolling for college can be, and we want to make the process as simple as possible. If you have any questions regarding the enrollment process, you can contact the Admissions Office to speak with a transfer admissions counselor.

Follow these steps to ensure you’re ready for Orientation and then the first day of class!

• 

  Get Started by Activating your Net ID

  You’ve created a lot of unique logins while applying to universities, but we have good news for you: this is the last one you’ll need for a while! You’ll use your NetID to access Owl Express and complete many of your enrollment tasks. Also, it will be your official login as a student at Kennesaw State. Let's get started by activating your KSU NetID.

  In addition to activating your NetID, you will need to set up an account with DUO, Kennesaw State University’s multi-factor authentication system. This tool helps keep your information protected as an essential part of creating a secure digital environment. More information about DUO can be found here.

  Submit the FAFSA and KSU Scholarship Application any time after they open October 1 and November 1, respectively. While KSU offers many opportunities for financial aid and scholarships, be sure to research funding from other sources, as well.

  Complete Lawful Presence Verification

  The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requires KSU to verify the lawful presence in the United States of all admitted students entering in the fall 2011 semester or later. You can find more information on this policy and the documents needed for submission on the Lawful Presence tab.
