Drops can only be completed in the 100% refund period of your course. If you drop the course from your schedule during this period, it will not be listed on your academic transcript, but will be retained for billing purposes. Failure to attend classes does not constitute proper notification of a drop and you will continue to be responsible for the course or courses on your schedule until you drop via MyBLUE.
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.
Students in full-semester courses in Fall and Spring semesters may withdraw from one or more courses from their schedule until the end of the twelfth week of the semester. A grade of “W” will automatically be noted on the transcript for these courses. For courses of duration other than full semester and all Summer term courses, students may withdraw and receive a “W” after the first day of the class through the three-fourths point of the class meeting duration. The last day to withdraw from a full semester course can be found on the academic calendar.
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 student may not withdraw from a course after the course, or the semester/session has ended.
