Penalties for violation of these policies can be found in Section 4.B.ii (page 11).

Disability Statement

The Kentucky Community and Technical College System would like to help students with disabilities achieve their highest potential in academic studies. In order to receive accommodations on assignments or examinations, proper documentation must first be provided to the Office of Disability Services at your home campus. You must then self-identify and conference with the Director of Disability Support Services or Manager of Disability Services to begin receiving accommodations in the course/module. For more information, contact the KCTCS Online Help Desk:

https://kctcs.edu/Current_Students/Disability_Services.aspx

Financial Aid

Financial aid for the KCTCS Online program functions differently than financial aid for courses on campus or online through Distance Learning. Please contact the KCTCS Online Student Services Help Desk  for more information.

No-Show Assignment and Reporting

The syllabus quiz is the first assignment due and will act as a no-show indicator. Any student not completing the syllabus quiz by the no-show deadline will be reported as a no-show for the course. Being reported as a no-show can impact financial aid. The no-show deadline is indicated in the Timeline for Refunds table on a previous page.

Deadline for Submitting Work

The deadline for submitting work will be displayed within the announcements in the course in Blackboard. No work submitted after the deadline will be graded or considered when computing final grades.

Dropping a Course

The student can receive an A, B, C, D, E, or W in this module. For information about how dropping this course will affect your grade and future financial aid, please view your academic calendar in Student Self-Service or contact the KCTCS Online Student Services Help Desk  for more information. Students may withdraw from the course without the instructor's permission until midterm. After midterm, the instructor's permission is required to withdraw. The last day to withdraw from this course will be one week before the deadline to submit work in the course. See the announcement in Blackboard for these dates.
