October 12: Last Day to Withdraw Without Academic Penalty

Last Day to Withdraw without Academic Penalty^*: 12^th October 2009 for Fall Semester 2009.

New withdrawal policy: "Students may withdraw from one or more courses anytime before the last three weeks of the semester.

1.           However, as of fall 2004, students will be allowed a maximum of eight total withdrawals if they enter KSU as a freshman.

2.           Transfer students will be allowed one withdrawal per fifteen credit hours attempted, for a maximum of eight.

3.           Students who choose to pursue a second degree at KSU will be allowed two additional withdrawals.

4.           Students who entered KSU before the fall of 2004 will be allowed one withdrawal per fifteen credit hours attempted for a maximum of eight.

To withdraw the student should complete an official withdrawal form in the Office of the Registrar. Students who officially withdraw from courses on or before the last day to withdraw without academic penalty will receive a "W". Students who officially withdraw after the last day to withdraw without academic penalty (and before the last three weeks of the semester) will receive a "WF", which will be counted as an "F" in calculation of their grade point average.

The only exceptions to these withdrawal regulations will be for instances involving unusual circumstances, which are fully documented. Students may appeal to the academic standing committee for consideration of unusual circumstances. "

Academic Integrity

Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the University's policy on academic honesty, including provisions regarding plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University materials, misrepresentation/falsification of University records or academic work, malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials, malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse of student identification cards.

Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes either an "informal" resolution by a faculty member, resulting in a grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may subject a student to the Code of Conduct's minimal one semester suspension requirement.
