Broken enrollment occurs when a student, having previously been enrolled in a KYSU Online Program, discontinues their studies for one year (approximately six consecutive 8-week carousel sessions) and subsequently seeks to re-enroll. This includes, but is not limited to, administrative withdrawal, voluntary withdrawal, academic suspension, or failure to register for a subsequent session. Upon re-enrollment, students will resume their academic standing (e.g., good standing, probation) from the point of their last enrollment.

Due to the cyclical nature of our 8-week model, interrupting enrollment may mean that specific courses required for a student's program may not be immediately available upon re-enrollment, potentially extending overall program completion time. Broken enrollment can significantly impact eligibility for financial aid.
