Purpose* and Procedures
The Admissions Advisory Committee will advise the Admissions Office Presidential Appeals Committee regarding the applications for admission of prospective student-athletes who: (1) do not meet all applicable NCAA initial eligibility standards, and/or fall short of KSU admission standards in one or more areas; and/or, (2) have a past that contains an incident or incidents that may, if aired, provide negative publicity for the University. There is no limit to the number of such admissions that the Committee may recommend.

Petitioners
The head coach of the prospective student-athlete will, except in unusual circumstances, appear before the Admissions Advisory Committee in person to assist in consideration of the application. It is expected that a plan of assistance for the prospective student-athlete, which would entail academic and/or behavior advisement, accompany any such admission request, and that the head coach come before the Admissions Advisory Committee prepared to discuss that plan and its relation to the needs of the particular student.

* It is not the Purpose of this Committee to advise the President on the admission of student-athletes who apply after the University’s application deadline, so long as such students meet all NCAA and KSU standards other than timeliness of application and have no known record of an incident or incidents that may, if aired, provide negative publicity for the University. The Director of Admissions will provide the Athletic Department with 30 waivers of admissions deadlines each academic year (July 1 through June 30).
