KU staff, affiliated members, and graduate assistants are generally eligible for reduced fees. Call (785) 864-7886 for information.
DANTES (The Defense Activity for Nontraditional Educational Support) program has approved KU Independent Study courses. If you are a member of the Armed Forces, talk to your education officer or nearest Education Center about enrollment procedures.
United States armed forces veterans and their dependents may be eligible for Veterans Administration assistance in financing Independent Study programs. Apply for such benefits before enrolling with Independent Study. In Kansas, the V.A. Center's number is (800) 827-1000.
At enrollment, pay fees directly to the Independent Study Student Services office and submit the V.A.'s Certificate of Eligibility for endorsement. We will forward it to the V.A. Center. The Veterans Administration subsequently grants financial aid following its regulations.
