You must meet in person with your first-year advisor before registering for your second semester classes.
If you've taken courses for college credit, you must submit your unofficial transcripts to your first-year advisor. If you've taken courses from multiple colleges, you'll need to submit unofficial transcripts from all. Providing transcripts is critical to making sure you're enrolled in the correct classes for your degree program.
Please send your unofficial transcripts to onestop@wichita.edu. Your first-year advisor may also request your unofficial high school transcript if it isn't already on file here at 49ͼ.
Once your college courses are completed, you will need to send final official transcripts to the Registrar's Office. It's important to get these transcripts to 49ͼ as soon as possible, so the courses can be posted to your academic record.
You'll need to send your official ACT / SAT scores for admission to 49ͼ. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will accept those scores placed on official high school transcripts. We recommend that you have the test scores sent directly from the testing agency. If your ACT / SAT scores are not on file, your first-year advisor may request an unofficial copy of your score to build your schedule.
At 49ͼ, students are placed into their foundational math and English courses based on their math and English ACT scores. Some of these courses are remedial courses and are required to prepare students for their mandatory English Composition and Math course requirements. Remedial courses do not count toward your degree and could potentially delay graduation. As always, talk to your advisor to figure out a course schedule that fits your academic needs.
Based off your ACT / SAT scores, your first-year advisor might suggest that you take 49ͼ's English and math placement exams. If you score high enough on these exams, you can place directly into English 101 and / or Math 111 (or your degree's math requirement equivalent).

Placement ExamsStudents who have taken, or plan to take, any Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) tests may be eligible to receive college credit. Students who have completed any AP or IB tests need to have those scores sent to 49ͼ so they can receive college credit.
