10% Exceptions Window for Kansas Residents

1. Section 2 (4) of the Qualified Admission statute indicates that each Regents university shall establish a policy permitting admission of not more than 10% of the "total number of freshman class admissions" as exceptions to minimum standards. How will the Regents universities admit students through the 10% Exceptions Window?

a. The intent of the Kansas legislature in this section was that not more than 10% of the enrolled freshman class be students who were admitted as exceptions.

Each Regents university will target the number of admits as exceptions by determining 10% of the previous year's freshman class headcount on the 20th day of the Fall, Spring and Summer semester.

b. Admission through the 10% exceptions window applies only to bona fide residents of Kansas, determined by law, rules and regulations as "substantially similar" to those used in determining residency for tuition purposes.

Some students are allowed to pay resident fees but are still classified as nonresidents. These students will not be included in the 10% exceptions window.

c. Each Regents university will establish procedures for the admission of students through the 10% exceptions window.
