WellCAT One-Minute Survey to check on first-year students
First-year Wildcats, get ready! The WellCAT One-Minute Survey opens Sept. 15, and we want to hear from you. Let us know how your first few weeks at K-State have gone by answering 13 yes or no questions. It’ll take less than 60 seconds to complete but go a long way in helping us support you. If you indicate that you need support, campus staff will reach out to provide direct assistance. We’re here to support you inside and outside the classroom.
Planning to graduate this fall?
It’s time to fill out your graduation application! Apply through your KSIS account by Oct. 1 to ensure your name is in the Commencement program.
Even if you don’t plan to attend Commencement, the application is required to graduate. Stay up-to-date by checking the K-State graduation site frequently.
This is an exciting time! If you have any questions, contact the ArtSci Center for Student Success and Engagement, 107 Calvin Hall, artsci@ksu.edu.
