• Absences: A failure to complete a required assignment by its deadline constitutes an absence for that instructional period.
  • Penalties: A student who misses assignment deadlines for more than two (2) consecutive weeks may have their final course grade lowered by one full letter grade. An instructor may remove a student from a course if they fail to complete assignments for more than three (3) consecutive weeks.

Student Responsibility for Withdrawal

A student who stops attending a course is responsible for officially withdrawing by contacting their instructor and the Office of the Registrar.

All withdrawals must be completed before the deadline published in KSU's official academic calendar.

A student who fails to officially withdraw from a course they have stopped attending may receive a final grade of "F."
