Essay Language Requirements:
* Note: You may write your essay in English if you are applying to the Spain semester program and are enrolling in 200 level language courses.
You are required to provide KIIS with your official undergraduate transcript for your application. You also must email Haley McTaggart to request Graduate credit before you submit your application.
If you do not yet have a college GPA/transcript at the time of your KIIS application, you may submit a copy of your high school transcript. That said, once you have your first semester college transcript, you must upload a copy for your KIIS application. See Eligibility requirements.
If you have been out of college for a long period of time and are unable to obtain a copy of your undergraduate college transcript, you may be exempt from submitting your transcript for undergraduate course credit. However if you are seeking graduate course credit on a KIIS program, you must provide an official copy of your undergraduate transcript. Contact Haley McTaggart with questions.
If you are no longer in contact with your former professors, you may request an employer to complete your recommendation form. If you are not currently working, you may request a former employer or someone else who can speak to your ability to study in an international setting to complete your recommendation form.
