Registration: The formal process by which students enroll in courses each term.

Changes in Registration: Adding, dropping, changing sections, or modifying grading options.

Class Scheduling Policy: The long-term, eight-semester schedule used to ensure access to required and elective courses.

PROCESS:

1. Registration

• All degree-seeking students must consult their assigned advisor before preregistration or registration each academic term.
• First-time, first-year students may be restricted in course selection.
• The Registrar sets and communicates registration periods.
• Students must register at the appointed time; late registration incurs fees and ends one calendar week after the close of registration (semester) or the equivalent period in summer.

2. Changes in Registration

• All registration changes must be approved by the Registrar, advisor, and, if applicable, the course instructor.
• Processing fees apply beginning the first day of classes, except for University-initiated changes.
• Canceled courses may be replaced by students if adjustments are completed within the second week of a semester or the first week of a summer session.

3. Subsequent Degrees

• Students seeking additional degrees must earn 15 additional hours for an associate degree or 30 additional hours for a baccalaureate degree, beyond those counted toward the original degree.

4. Class Scheduling

• Kentucky State University maintains an eight-semester course schedule.
• Advisors and students use this schedule to plan academic progress, ensuring timely access to required and elective courses
