After the fifth day of classes, you must submit the Request to Adjust Credit Hours form to request approval to decrease the credit hours of a variable credit class. Requests to decrease credit hours must be submitted by the last day to withdrawal.
Most drops, withdrawals, and credit hour decreases can be done by students themselves online through Enroll & Pay. You should always attempt to drop or withdraw yourself before completing the Drop/Withdraw form. Students in certain schools may not be able to drop and/or withdraw through Enroll & Pay. If you are not able to drop a class or withdraw from all classes using the instructions above, fill out and submit the Drop/Withdraw form.
In certain circumstances it is necessary for a student to withdraw from courses after the last date to withdraw. Typically, these are for complete withdrawals from the university, however there are times when well documented cases warrant only a partial withdrawal. When it is necessary to withdraw from courses after the last date to drop, the committee considers:
Extraordinary circumstances, such as a serious illness or injury, preventing the student from continuing classes. The medical withdrawal policy covers both physical health and mental health.
Extraordinary personal reasons, not related to the student's personal physical health or mental health, preventing the student from continuing in classes.
The Grading System described in University Senate Rules and Regulations (Article II, Section 2) was modified for the fall 2020 semester to allow most students the choice of a credit/no credit option through April 30, 2021. Any student who is considering requesting a change to credit/no credit (CR/NC) is strongly encouraged to receive approval by an academic advisor, who will record notes in Jayhawk GPS, or associate dean before making this change. Further, it is important to note that, if the CR/NC is not currently permitted by a school or program for a licensure course, it will not be permitted as part of this policy. Students should consult with the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships and their advisor before changing grading options for their course(s). More information can be found on the College's Fall 2020 CR/NC Student Guide.
Credit/No Credit for Spring 2021 courses will open on May 24, 2021. Any forms submitted prior to May 24, 2021 will be denied and a new request will need to be submitted after May 24, 2021. If you are enrolled in a short course for Spring 2021 you will be allowed to submit the form after the official grade for your course has posted and been reviewed. The window for selecting or rescinding Spring 2021 Credit/No Credit will be from May 24th through December 3rd, 2021. Please Note: Students graduating in Spring 2021 have until June 4th to make their selection or rescind a request. More information can be found on the College's Spring 2021 CR/NC Student Guide.
