Registration and Registration Changes
Matriculated on campus students register online for classes using the KC Self-Service. Students are encouraged to meet with their advisor ahead of time to ensure that their selections fit their degree program.
Matriculated students in AOE programs are typically registered for a majority of their classes by the registrar's office. Students should check with their Student Success Advisor or look at KC Self-Service for further information.
Students may not register for classes that overlap. If a student wishes to register for two or more classes that have conflicting meeting times, the student may submit an exception to policy. Exceptions will only be granted if all required signatures are obtained.
The Academic Calendar provides specific dates for the following:
1. Add/Drop Period: The Add/Drop period opens on the first day of class and closes on the sixth day of class for 14-week courses and the third day of class for 7-week courses. On-campus students may add or drop a class on their own through KC Self-Service. If a class requires consent, a completed Change of Registration form is required with the appropriate approvals. All paperwork needs to be submitted to the Registrar's Office otherwise the request will not be processed. Students should be aware when dropping classes, that all institutional, state and federal grants are based on full-time status. Students may not add or drop courses that are two weeks or less in length.
2. Withdraw Period: A student may withdraw from a class after the add/drop period but before 50% of the class has been completed. Students who wish to withdraw from a course during the withdraw period must complete a Change of Registration form with the appropriate approvals. The form must be submitted to the Registrar's Office, otherwise the request will not be processed. When a withdrawal has been processed, a grade of W will be applied to the class and show on the student's transcript.
3. Withdrawals from a course subsequent to the 50% mark shall be permitted by formal exception and for extenuating circumstances only, e.g., medical or other problems of a non-academic nature requiring an absence from class and/or the campus. Such withdrawals require written permission signed by both the advisor and the appropriate instructor(s) and must be submitted as an exception to the policy to the Provost or designee by the student or the advisor.
4. Students who do not formally withdraw from a class that they do not attend, will be issued a grade of F and will be responsible for all charges incurred.
*Non-attendance or non-participation does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal. Courses that are two weeks or less in length are not eligible for withdraw and must be dropped prior to the start date.
