As part of completing the online application, you are required to:

Complete all questions in the online application. When you begin the application you'll need to finish. So, make sure you are ready and have some time before you begin the online application. However, if you are not able to complete the application in one go, please follow instructions below to save and return later to your incomplete application:

1. Ensure that you click on the "Save and Return later" button displayed on each page, when you need to exit.

2. A window will pop up with a code that you can use to resume your application process later. Be sure to copy the code for later use.

3. As soon as click on "Close" in the window that displays the code, you will be directed to a page that requests your email ID.

4. Please enter your email ID to receive a link to resume your incomplete application.It is not the same link that you used to start the application process.

5. You will be able to resume your application when you click on the link sent by email and enter the code that was displayed when you tried to save your work.

Provide well-written responses to the essay questions in the application (make sure you proofread). It is recommended that you review the essay requirements and complete the essay in another document like Word BEFORE you begin the online application. Then, you can copy and paste or attach the essay response into the online application (make sure if you copy and paste you check the formatting in the online application). You will be provided time and coaching during LEAD UP to complete the essay.

If you have questions or need additional information contact Dr. Jomella Watson-Thompson at leadup@ku.edu.
