General Interest Students

Interested in taking a course or two at KPU?  No problem!  KPU provides General Interest students the opportunity to complete up to 12 credits of undergraduate coursework without applying to KPU.  The General Interest option is for non-credential-seeking students; students who intend to complete more than 12 credits, should contact the Future Students' Office or Office of International Recruitment & Admissions to begin the admission process to KPU. General Interest is also not intended for students who previously attended or graduated from KPU; students wanting to return to KPU should contact Academic Advising to discuss the process for re-applying. 

Registration for General interest students begins after the start of term, is only active for one term, and limited to 4 undergraduate credits per term (to a maximum of 12 credits overall).

If this is what you are looking for, registration begins each term on the first day of classes.
