KPU100 provides an interactive, supported learning experience to start off your university learning journey on the right track.

Along the way, you will receive supportive feedback and guidance as you work through short assignments that build up your knowledge, skills, and confidence as a university and online learner. This non-credit series of modules is offered completely free to KPU students.

How KPU100 works:
The synchronous sessions happen at the start, middle and end of the five day series. You start with a live session on Monday, a mid-week checkpoint, and then we see you on Friday at the same time to wrap up. The rest of the series is self-paced and you will get feedback from your KPU100 facilitators as you complete your activities.
