Course Changes
-
A student may need to request a change from one course section to another. Even if the courses are the same, there may be additional fees assessed based on the dates of dropped/withdrawing and adding of a course.
-
In addition, tuition and fees associated with a course vary based on the campus and method of instruction. Changing course of the exact same subject does not necessarily mean that there will not be any charges.
-
Student Statement: Attach a typed detailed statement, explaining the nature of your request, why the request is being made and what extenuating circumstances prevented you from completing this change before the official processing deadline for the course(s).
-
Instructor statement: Please have the instructor of the course(s) email RegPetition@kent.edu, from their KSU email address, if they are in favor of your request. They may also provide a statement on KSU letterhead. The instructor should include the course subject, course number, section and CRN and any other relevant information.
-
Supporting Documentation: Provide documentation that supports the extenuating circumstances presented in your student statement.
-
COURSE SECTION CHANGE (exact same course but different section) - Only with the approval of the instructors and if it is related to verified university error
-

-
Inappropriate reasons to change grade mode:
-
Poor performance in a course (change from standard letter grade to P/F or audit)
-
Performing better than expected (change from audit or P/F to standard letter grade)
-
Earning a poor grade on mid-term, project or paper and wishing to change grade mode.
-
-
Changing credit hours:
-
Verification is needed from the instructor that you are completing the amount of course work equal to the credit hours.
-
It is inappropriate to request to change credit hours for financial reasons. A student cannot request to change credit hours late in the term because of fees and wishing to reduce their bill.
