Urgent Grade Information

Dear :

Your instructor has reported a grade of NF (Never Attended F) or SF (Stopped Attending F) for you in the following course(s):

Please note that a grade of NF or SF will count as an F in calculating your grade point average.

If you have been awarded federal or state financial aid for the current term, this grade may adversely affect your federal or state aid eligibility, and you should contact the Financial Aid office for more information.

If you are receiving any type of GI Bill benefits, this grade could affect that benefit, and may cause you to owe the Veterans Affairs (VA) a portion of your funds. Please contact your VA Certifying Official with any questions.

If you believe a grade of NF or SF was reported in error, contact your instructor immediately to discuss your specific circumstances.

If the NF or SF is an accurate report because you either "never attended" or "stopped attending" the course(s) listed, you may use FlashFAST to withdraw from the course(s) but ONLY IF you complete the action by the withdrawal deadline for each course.

To find withdrawal deadlines, visit the Registrar's website at http://www.kent.edu/registrar/. Click on the "Schedule of Classes Search" button. Select the appropriate term, then click the "Detailed Class Search". Use the search to find your class, then look at the Registration Deadlines column to find drop and withdrawal dates. Also, note that withdrawal deadlines vary for courses with beginning or ending dates that differ from the start and end dates of a regular term. For additional information on withdrawal deadlines for flexibly scheduled or open learning courses, you may call the Office of the University Registrar at 330-672-3131.

To process a course withdrawal in FlashFAST, login to FlashLine at www.kent.edu and click on Student Tools & Courses. Go to the Add or Drop Classes page and withdraw from the selected course(s) using the options available from the Action drop-down box. Review the Status column to verify each withdrawal has been processed and go to the Student Printable Schedule page to print a copy of your revised schedule to keep for your records.

If you need assistance in determining the appropriate course of action or have questions after the withdrawal deadline, contact your College or Regional Campus Advising Office immediately.
