August intersession begins Aug. 3 and will run through Aug. 21. Intersession is a time between university semesters when students can concentrate on one class in a shorter, accelerated period of time. Whether you want to balance your schedule, work ahead on your degree or take a fun elective, intersession has something for everyone.
Enrollment is underway for the fall 2020 semester. K-State Global Campus offers more than 600 online courses each semester.

The dates for fall graduation ceremonies have been set. Provost Chuck Taber shared K-State's revised plan to celebrate our spring, summer and fall 2020 graduates in combined ceremonies on Nov. 20 for the Polytechnic campus and Nov. 23 and 24 for the Manhattan campus. In the coming weeks, additional information regarding the schedule of ceremonies and other updates will be posted on the commencement website.

The Center for Advocacy, Response and Education (CARE) recognizes the collective grief, pain and trauma individuals are experiencing as a result of the local, state, national and global events that continue unfolding. CARE reminds the K-State community of its CARE Healing Fund service. The healing fund provides K-State individuals funding for mental health services like individual or group therapy for those who have experienced violence. Interested participants can email ksucare@k-state.edu to inquire more information about the healing fund.
