Native American Initiatives


Are you a KU student interested in learning more about Native American issues? Or are you a Haskell student interested in a class at KU? Maybe you want a different perspective on current events or are simply looking for a different campus experience?

Whether you are a student at KU or Haskell, you can take advantage of the Haskell/KU Exchange Program! This fantastic partnership between two historic campuses represents a wonderful opportunity for both Haskell Indian Nations University students and University of Kansas students to take classes at either KU or Haskell while remaining a full-time student at their home campus. 


Haskell Student to KU

Advising

Haskell students can browse the Schedule of Classes at KU to select a course. More information is available through the Haskell Registar.

Haskell students can reach out to Director of Tribal Relations, Melissa Peterson, by contacting her at 785-864-7267 or emailing mmpeterson@ku.edu for further assistance.  Contact the Haskell Registrar for assistance on the application process for taking a course at KU. 

Enrollment Management

  • Student fills out the KU/Haskell Exchange application and submits it to the Registrar at Haskell in accordance with add/drop dates for each respective university. See the KU academic calendar or the Haskell academic calendar to find out deadlines for each semester.
  • During main enrollment, the Director of Tribal Relations will receive a list from the Registrar at Haskell designating which Haskell students will attend KU for that enrollment period. 
  • Students are manually added to Blackboard for the course in which they enroll.
  • Instructors are informed that a Haskell student is attending their course and have been entered into their Blackboard section.
  • The Director of Tribal Relations will work with KU Enroll & Management to gather grades for the Haskell students and send those official grades to the Haskell Registrar.
  • The Director of Tribal Relations will contact the Haskell Registrar throughout the semester regarding students who have dropped the KU course.
