General Information

K-State Intersession

Dates

Credit Hour Limit

The maximum credit hours allowed for Intersession is four (4) hours per student. Anyone wishing to enroll in more than the maximum credit hours must have written approval from his or her academic dean at the time of registration. Students wishing to sign up for courses on an A-Pass-Fail basis must do so at the time of registration, or before one-third of the class meetings have elapsed.

Tuition

On-campus coursework will be assessed resident/non-resident tuition rates. Off-campus coursework will be assessed at a fixed rate with no distinction made concerning the student's resident/non-resident status.

An additional $14/cr hr is assessed for most Engineering and Architecture courses.

Special and Health Fees

Special and health fees are collected on a per-day basis at the rate of $1. Fees for on-campus January Intersession courses are computed by multiplying the number of days of instruction for the course by the $1 special/health fee rate. The fees are not assessed for off-campus instruction or audits.

Note, not all services offered are open between semesters. Please refer to page 16 of the K-State undergraduate catalog for further fee information.

Grades

Intersession grades will be averaged into the student's K-State GPA. Grades will be available to students on KATS three weeks after the last day of Intersession. The scholastic record of each undergraduate is evaluated twice yearly at the end of the fall semester and at the end of the spring semester. The student's scholastic status does not change as a result of work taken in Intersession.

Students wishing to sign up for courses on an A-Pass-Fail basis must do so at the time of registration, or before one-third of the class meetings have elapsed.

Retakes

Undergraduate students may retake a course during Intersession in order to improve their grade. Students must indicate “Retake” on the enrollment form when they register for the course.

Status Change

No status changes (i.e., undergraduate to graduate credit) will be accepted after half of the scheduled class meetings have been completed. All requests for status changes must be submitted in writing to the Division of Continuing Education Registration Office.

Incomplete Policy

If an “I” is received during Intersession, and if the student does not make up the “I” before the end of the following regular semester, a grade may be given by the faculty member without further consultation with the student. If, after the end of the semester, the “I” remains on the record, it will be designated as an “F” and will be computed in the student's GPA, weighted at 0 points per credit. The designation of “NR” (no grade reported) will be treated in a like manner.

Textbooks

Textbooks (required or recommended) have been ordered for most classes and will be available at Varney's Bookstore at the start of Intersession. Information about textbooks is available from the instructor or from Varney's. Some extra copies may be available at the K-State Student Union Bookstore.

Library

During Intersession, the Hale Library hours of operation vary. For current hours of operation check the web at www.lib.k-state.edu, or call 785-532-3014.
