KATS
: Student Services
The Student
Services Office at Kaw Area Technical School offers many services for
applicants and current students. An established application process
makes for seamless transition from enrollment to admission. Day Program and Continuing Education start dates in August and January, for most courses, allow easy
access to vocational education.
Three
full-time counselors are available to assist applicants through the
application and enrollment processes. They are skilled in providing professional
assistance to both traditional and non-traditional students. Of the current,
approximately 800 day students, almost half are adult students re-entering
the classroom environment. KATS counselors also monitor and support our
students as they progress through their programs of study. Students with
special needs are welcome, and there is always someone qualified to provide
assistance.

Transfer of Credits
Individuals who want to transer credits to KATS from another institution may submit a written request to the Associate Director of Student Services. The determination of whether to accept credits from another institution will be based upon many factors including the content/competencies of previous course work, the duration of previous course work, student attendance, grades earned in course work completed, and other criteria. Only those courses in which the individual earned a "C" or better will be considered for transfer credit.
Associate
Degree Affiliations
Kaw Area Technical School is pleased to offer articulation agreements
with all Kansas community colleges as well as with
Washburn University in Topeka. This allows coursework from most KATS
programs to transfer toward an associate degree from the above institutions.
The agreement with Washburn University also provides reduced tuition to
KATS graduates. Our students are encouraged to obtain additional education
and training whenever possible. This enhances marketability, employability,
and retention in the workplace.
