submitted within one (1) week of the AW grade being posted. Students must consult with the Registrar's Office and the Office of Financial Aid to determine whether an AW grade can be appealed using the Appeal for Retroactive Withdrawal (see below) due to the Financial Aid implications of an Administrative Withdrawal.
Retroactive withdrawal from a course or from the University will be considered only when a student documents to the Online Advisory Committee that he/she could not meet the scheduled deadline for appropriately withdrawing due to some unforeseen and extraordinary circumstance beyond his/her control. The student must make this appeal no later than the Monday before the next regular academic term/subterm begins. Appeals that do not clearly document the circumstance for missing the withdrawal date will not be granted.
Students receiving federal financial aid for the course or term in question may be required to repay the University for Said Course or courses. (Students should contact the Financial Aid Office at 502-597-5960 or finaidmail@kysu.edu). Students should consult the Registrar's Office and the Office of Financial Aid to determine whether the Appeal for Retroactive Withdrawal can be used when an AW grade has been assigned in an online course due to the Financial Aid implications of an Administrative Withdrawal.
