Senior Days

This is a great way for seniors and their families to get the specific information and details they need to make solid decisions about the best college opportunities.

Who should attend

KU not only invites all high-school seniors but also highly encourages parents or guardians of these students to come too. We will provide valuable KU-specific information not only for the students, but also for the parents and guests. There is a small fee, and online registration is required; all seniors must register separately. All registrations are accepted on a space-available basis.

I attended a Junior Day. Should I come to a Senior Day?

Absolutely! The Senior Day agenda is completely different. Senior Days are focused more on academics and allow students to gather information from each school in the University, depending on which day is selected; and tour academic facilities on professional school days.

What will I do during my visit?

These visit days focus on academic programs and majors. If you haven't decided on a field of study, plan to visit on an All Majors Day. Each Senior Day program includes academic/support services information sessions provided by University staff and faculty members; a student panel or student-led campus tour, lunch at Mrs. E's Dining Hall, and a residence hall tour.

How do I register?

We are no longer accepting registrations for this event. If you would like to visit campus soon, you may register for Jayhawk Days.

Where do I check-in?

Check-in for Senior Days is at the Kansas Union on the main campus. A parking pass for the parking garage located north of the Kansas Union will be mailed in your confirmation packet along with driving directions to the garage.

When will they be?

We are working to set dates for fall 2009 Senior Days. We anticipate the Senior Days schedule to be available online by July 1, 2009. Registration will go live in August. Thank you for your interest in KU Senior Days!

Junior Days

Why come to Junior Day?

It is never too early to begin visiting colleges and universities to get a sense of how they fit your goals and expectations. Among the many fine public and private higher-education opportunities in the region and nationally, KU is a recognized leader – and we are eager to share information about our academics, research, strength of faculty and other excellent programs.

What will I do during my visit?

This spring, students and their parents or guardians will spend most of the day touring the beautiful campus and visiting its buildings. Staff members will discuss academics, student life and other information unique to KU. We will also offer a session on preparing for your senior year of high school. Participants will be able to meet with representatives from each of the 11 KU schools. An information fair will feature representatives from support services and campus departments such as financial aid, Study Abroad and student activities.

How do I Register?

All Junior Days dates are currently closed.

Please note: Once a Junior Day fills to capacity, the date will be closed online and we will no longer accept registrations for that specific day. However, of the dates that are still available, you are guaranteed the date you request by registering and completing payment information online. We cannot guarantee dates for mailed in registrations.

Where do I check-in?

Check-in for Junior Days is at the Kansas Union on the main campus. A map and parking pass will be mailed after registration.

When will they be? Junior days take place in the spring semester. Please check back for registration information.
