New MyKU is now MyKU
The transition from MyKU Legacy to New MyKU is now in its next phase. MyKU Legacy continues to be phased out. As a result, New MyKU will now be referred to as MyKU. Links to MyKU are being updated throughout the Kutztown website to remove any existing references to MyKU Legacy. Please take this opportunity to review your website and publications so that your references to MyKU are correct.
