Reservist/National Guard Student Checklist – for Admission and Enrollment

1. APPLY TO KSU

Be sure to identify yourself as Active Duty on your application; this will waive the application fee for all Undergraduate applicants. If you have already paid the fee, please contact the Office of Veterans and Military Student Affairs at 502-597-6795 and include your KSU student ID number.

2. Request Official copies of any Transcripts

Request official copies of transcripts from your high school or any college where you have taken courses. High school transcripts are only required if you have completed less than 24 civilian college hours.

3. Request your ACT or SAT scores

If you haven't taken an ACT or SAT, you also have the option to take a placement test. Pending the availability of funds, this service is free for veteran and military students.

KSU also accepts credit by exam from DANTES and CLEP, which is a great way to earn academic credit for what you know. To learn more about exams accepted by KSU, contact the Office of Veterans and Military Student Affairs.

4. Request your Joint Service Transcript

To receive credit for your military service, you must submit a Joint Services Transcript (JST). Visit the JST website, and request for your transcript to be sent to KSU electronically. Air Force veterans and service members should request their Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcript to receive military credit.

5. Request Federal or State Tuition Assistance

6. Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA)

We highly recommend you fill out your FASFA as soon as possible. Your Federal TA/VA education benefits are completely separate from Financial Aid, so we encourage you to go online now and fill out your FASFA. The FAFSA determines students' eligibility for grants and/or loans.
