Beginning fall semester 2001, students in Kansas must meet new requirements for admission into all 4-year Regents Universities. Prior to 2001, any student who graduated from an accredited public high school in Kansas was admitted into a 4-year Regents University. New requirements may affect the admission status of high school students with learning disabilities who want to attend a 4-year Regents school immediately after high school graduation. High school counselors can provide information about specific admission requirements. The Office of Admissions will evaluate applications for ALL students, including students with learning disabilities.
Universities are under no obligation to alter admissions requirements or standards.
Students with LD, like all other prospective applicants, must meet existing admissions criteria. However, there are provisions at 4-year Regents Universities for a few exceptions to the admissions requirements. A student with a disability may be considered for one of these exceptions. If you want to be considered as an exception, it may be helpful if you provide documentation of the disability to the disability office and inform the Office of Admissions that you have documentation on file. An example of a student who is likely to be admitted under the exception is a student who has achieved an ACT score of 20, instead of the required score of 21.
