College Student Academic Services

Students must enroll the first semester at KU in the English composition course and in the mathematics course appropriate for their placement, and must continue to take English and mathematics courses until they have completed ENGL 102 Critical Reading and Writing (or ENGL 105, the honors equivalent), and MATH 101 Algebra or MATH 104 Pre-calculus Mathematics.

For specific information on English placement, see English Requirements on this page. Students who demonstrate eligibility to enroll directly in calculus through ACT, SAT, or placement test scores are exempt from this early and continuous enrollment requirement. See the Placement Table for Initial Enrollment in Mathematics on this page or consult the Department of Mathematics, 405 Snow Hall, for information on placement in mathematics.

Students in their initial term may be administratively enrolled for the appropriate English and mathematics courses during New Student Orientation. Continuing students’ enrollment will be evaluated prior to the first day of the semester. Students not enrolled and not in compliance with the Early and Continuous Enrollment policy may be administratively added to the appropriate courses in mathematics and English.
