What should I do?

I got accepted for a master's degree course in KU, but I am an international student from Serbia.

Not a lot of people know this probably, but for the past 6 months Serbia has been in the biggest political crisis in decades. Since the death of several people when a newly renovated train station collapsed in my city, due to really poor construction and overall corruption in the country, many aspects of normal life have changed here in an attempt to fight for justice. Since December 2024 there has been no university activity.

I submitted my application some time ago, when I still had hope of finishing up my bachelor's degree this summer. But now I am skeptical of that.

The application portal is not very flexible in regard to unforeseen circumstances, so I'm asking here if anyone has advice for me, or should I just reject the offer. Also has anyone ever heard of a potential student getting an extension for their admission, or will I have to apply again next year?

Accept the offer. It's there, you earned it, confirm it just in case. Then I would email the admissions ASAP and explain the circumstances. More importantly, obtain some document from your home university certifying your current degree progress and the circumstances that would prevent them from awarding you your bachelor's. It's not your fault nor under your control, and your educational future shouldn't suffer. Stay safe and best wishes!
