Full Semester Course – Fall and Spring Terms
A fall or spring full-semester course may be dropped from your schedule using MyBLUE through the first week of the course. Fall or spring full-semester courses dropped the first week of the term will not appear on the academic transcript. The last day to drop from a full fall or spring semester course can be found on the academic calendar.
Less than Full Semester Fall and Spring Term and All Summer Courses
For courses of duration other than a full fall or spring semester and all summer courses, students may drop courses before the first day of the course. Courses dropped before the first day of the course will not be listed on your academic transcript.
International Students: Dropping below full-time status can have serious consequences and may affect your permission to remain in the USA. Please work with the International Education Office to check eligibility to drop a course.
Once you have registered for classes, you are considered registered unless you cancel your registration. If you wish to cancel your registration, you need to drop all your classes in MyBLUE.
Cancelling your housing contract or not receiving expected financial aid will not affect your registration for classes. You need to drop the courses on MyBLUE to have your registration cancelled.
Departments reserve the right to cancel a course registration if the student does not meet prerequisites for the course.
Notice to students on academic probation: If you register for a class during the early registration period and your academic performance in the current semester should result in academic suspension, your course registration will be canceled.
Changes from one section to another section of the same course, same session, and same topic can be done by completing the Change of Schedule form on MyBLUE. For Fall and Spring full-semester courses, this can be done until midnight on Friday of the second week of classes. All Summer courses and Fall or Spring courses that meet less than a full semester, can be changed until the third day of the course.
For changes outside of these time frames, contact the Office of the University Registrar.
Full Semester Fall or Spring Course
Beginning the second week through the end of the twelfth week, students may drop courses using MyBLUE. Courses dropped after the first week of the term will be awarded a "W" and will display on the academic transcript. A "W" grade has no impact on your academic GPA. The last day to drop a full fall or spring semester course can be found on the academic calendar. Full-semester classes must be dropped before the end of the twelfth week of the semester.
Less than Full Semester Fall and Spring Term and All Summer Courses
For courses of duration other than a full fall or spring semester and all summer courses, students may drop courses using MyBLUE and will receive a "W" on the first day of the class through three-fourths of the class meeting duration (e.g., the end of the sixth week of an eight-week course). A "W" grade has no impact on your academic GPA. Classes cannot be dropped after three-fourths of the course duration.
Students who withdraw from one or more courses after the 100% refund period will be obligated to UNK for that portion of tuition and fees that is indicated on the refund schedule.
A grade of "F" will be submitted if a student stops attending a course and does not officially drop or withdraw before the appropriate deadline. If the student demonstrates before the end of them that there were extenuating circumstances that prevented completion of the courses, an "I" may be recorded on the student's record and transcript. Such circumstances are determined at the course instructor's discretion, and they may submit a grade of "I" (incomplete). Students assigned a grade of "I" (incomplete) should review the Incomplete Removal policy.
A student may not withdraw from a course after the course, or the semester/session has ended.
