Each student is allowed one K-State eID while at K-State. For policies related to, and to register your K-State eID, visit the eID website.

Enrolling in Classes

Once you are admitted to the Graduate Program in your program of study, you will be assigned a temporary graduate faculty advisor in the graduate program until you identify a major professor with whom you would like to work. Your temporary advisor will assist you in finding the courses in which you should enroll during your first semester at K-State. Enrollment is done through KSIS online.

Course Schedules

A list of courses offered each semester is published online and is generally available a few months prior to the beginning of the upcoming semester. To access the online course schedule, select “Academics” from the K-State homepage and then “Catalogs & Courses”. Here you will find an academic calendar, a fee payment schedule, a final examination schedule, and the link to the Graduate Catalog.
