To enroll in Kairos University, learners undertake the following admission process:
- Complete and submit an application for admission.
- Pay the enrollment fee.
- Submit official transcripts from appropriate schools and providers. This is providing you desire a degree above a Completion Certificate.
- Submit Ministry and Life experience documents for evaluation if applying for life experience credit hours.
Upon receipt of these documents, Kairos University staff will review the documents and, upon approval, a letter of acceptance will be given.
