2. Take the ACT on one of the national test dates.
October or December is recommended. Have your scores sent to K-State by entering the ACT college code number for K-State (1428) on the test registration form.

SAT scores may substitute for ACT scores. K-State's SAT college code number is 6334.
K-State does not require the writing component of the ACT or the essay component of the SAT.

3. Submit proof of graduation or high school transcripts.
Have your high school send an official copy of your high school transcript at the time of application.

4. Have any college transcripts sent.
If you have enrolled in any college courses while attending high school, have each college send an official transcript to the Office of Admissions and answer completely question 25 on the application.

Student copies of transcripts, personal copies of test results, and test scores noted on high school transcripts are not considered official records.
