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?
All Senior Days are now full. If you would like to visit campus, you may register for a Daily Visit.
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.

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.

Scholar Days
In the fall of 2002, 100 National Merit finalists made the University of Kansas their No. 1 choice. This placed KU ninth in the nation among public universities in the enrollment of new National Merit Scholars, a recognition that acknowledges not only the outstanding academic achievement of the individuals but also the general level of expectation and success for all students.

How do I get invited?
Scholar Days are for students who have been recognized as National Merit Semi-Finalists, National Achievement or National Hispanic Scholars or those students who have been recognized as Summerfield/Watkins-Berger Scholars. Invitations to these events are mailed throughout the academic year.

You will be able to visit with faculty members in your area of academic interest and to meet with representatives from the Honors Program, Department of Student Housing, Study Abroad, Organizations and Leadership, Multicultural Affairs and Student Financial Aid. You will then take a walking tour with a student ambassador and tour residence and scholarship halls. Lunch with faculty and staff is provided.
