Guest Student:
Students who are enrolled in
good standing at another college or university and are eligible to return to
that college or university but wish to earn credit from Keweenaw Bay

The following stipulations must be met for admission as a guest student:
1.
Students must
submit a guest student application (available from their home institution) to

PLACEMENT TESTING
All newly admitted degree-seeking students must schedule and complete placement
testing in mathematics and English or provide results of previous testing, or
have successfully completed college courses in these areas. The results of
the placement tests are used for advising purposes only and will not affect
admission status. Placement tests may be scheduled at the Admissions
Office.
REGISTRATION
Open registration is held prior
to the beginning of the semester. In order to register, students must have
completed the following:
1. Admissions application.
2. Placement testing.
3. Waiver for release of High
School transcripts.
4. Financial aid applications
and payment arrangements if required.
5. Course registration card.
Early registration allows
students with advanced standing to secure placement in needed courses and to
determine their financial responsibilities before the start of the next
semester.
Late
Registration:
Students may register through the second week of the semester with instructor
and advisor approval. Late registrants are responsible for making up any
missed course work and must pay the late registration fee of $25.00.
Adding
Courses:
Students may add courses through the end of the second week of the semester with
the approval of the instructor and advisor. An official drop/add form must
be submitted to the Enrollment Coordinator's Office.
Special Registration:
Students may register for 298
and 299 courses at any time without penalty.
Course
Audit:
Students wishing to audit a course must complete the registration card and
application form and pay the audit fee. Students taking a course for
credit will have priority over students auditing a course if classroom space is
limited.
Dropping
Courses:
Students may drop courses through the end of the second week
of the semester without a transcript notation by completing a drop/add form with
instructor's and advisor's signatures and submitting it to the Enrollment
Coordinator's Office.
Repeated
Courses:
Students registering to repeat a previously attempted course for which they
received a grade must submit a Repeat Course Form at the time of registration.
The first grade earned will be converted to an "R", and the second grade will be
recorded on the permanent transcript regardless of which grade is higher.
No prerequisite course may be repeated if a more advanced course has been
completed with a grade of "C" or better.
Withdrawal From Courses
After Drop/Add Period:
A student may withdraw from a class or classes after the second week and before
the final week of the semester by completing a withdrawal form, obtaining the
appropriate signatures, and submitting it to the Dean of Student Services.
Courses that students have withdrawn from will appear on their grade reports and
transcripts with a "W" grade.
Tuition and fees are assessed
on the number of credits for which students are enrolled at the end of the
second week of the semester. Withdrawing from a course after the second
week will not result in a tuition reduction.
Withdrawal From College:
Students needing to withdraw from the College during the course of
the semester should meet with the Dean of Student Services to complete the
necessary withdrawal form. Failure to complete a formal withdrawal may result in
the student receiving "F" grades in all their courses.
Administrative Withdrawal:
Administrative
withdrawal is the termination of a student’s enrollment in a course by the
College. It is used to correct registration errors, to assist students who are
seriously ill or otherwise unable to carry out a normal withdrawal, for
nonpayment of tuition and fees, or for disciplinary reasons. Student actions
that might lead to administrative withdrawal include plagiarism, persistent
disruption of classes, harassment, violence, or copying of another student’s
work.
Students who do not attend classes in the first two weeks will be automatically
withdrawn.
STUDENT RECORDS
Official Transcripts:
Final grades are posted
to the student's official transcript and become part of their permanent academic
record. Students are entitled to one free copy of their official transcript per
academic year. A request for official transcripts to be sent to schools,
individuals, or organizations must be made in writing. The fee for official
transcripts is $5.00 per copy. Transcripts will not be issued for a student
with an unpaid balance.
