REGISTRATION DETAILS

  • Registration Times
    Check the Academic Calendar for dates and times of registration for your student status (Continuing Degree Students, New Degree Students and NSO, or Non-Degree Students (General Public).
  • Web Registration (UAOnline) Instructions
  • Distance Delivery
    Using distance delivery instruction, a student can take courses that are not taught on the local campus. See Student Services on campus for a Distance Education and Independent Learning brochure describing courses available through the University of Alaska system. Most distance delivery courses are applicable to a degree program if they are provided through an accredited institution. An academic advisor should be consulted.
  • New Student Orientation (NSO)
    New Student Orientation will help you become familiar with the campus, the academic programs, student services, the admissions & registration process and the bookstore. Students will see a video about the college, learn about various forms that need to be completed and become acquainted with the faculty and staff. New Student Orientation has proven to be a very positive and success-oriented experience. Non-degree seeking students are not required to utilize an advisor or participate in NSO but are welcome to, if they choose.
    Contact Student Services, 262-0330, to sign up for NSO.
  • Prerequisites
    Students are responsible for checking to make sure that prerequisites have been met, as listed in the course schedule. If a student has not taken and passed the necessary prerequisites, but feels confident of performing the course work, the student may request permission from the instructor of the course to enroll in the class. An instructor withdrawal may be initiated for those students who enroll without either prerequisites or instructor permission.
  • Course Level Expectations
    Students are expected to demonstrate learning skills commensurate with the appropriate course level.

DURING THE SEMESTER

  • Keep Your Name And Mailing Address Current
    Submit a change of name/address/ID form to the KPC Admissions & Records Office to keep your information current. KPC periodically will send out important information or information regarding early registration availability.
  • Attend Classes!!
    Regular attendance and active participation are expected in all classes. Students are responsible for class work even if there are legitimate reasons for their absence. For semester-length classes, a faculty member may drop a student from a course if the student fails to attend class by the first class meeting of the second full week of classes. Students are permitted to withdraw through week 12 of the semester. For classes other than semester length, the option to withdraw is prorated. A faculty member is requested to notify a counselor when a student is not attending a course so that an attempt may be made to notify the student; however, there is no duty on the part of the faculty member to do so. In addition, faculty members may require attendance, and attendance may be reflected in the final grade.
  • Current KPC printed Catalog & Semester Schedule
    Review the KPC Catalog and Semester Schedule to become familiar with important dates, policies, procedures, rights and responsibilities as well as selection of classes.
  • Graduation!
    The responsibility for meeting all graduation requirements rests with the student. A student must apply for graduation prior to the expected date of his/her graduation. The application deadline for each semester is announced in the academic calendar. Submit the Application for Graduation form to the KPC Admissions & Records office. No fee is charged. In order to make sure a planned degree program can be completed, a student should apply for graduation in the semester prior to the estimated graduation date. This insures that the student knows exactly what courses will be needed to complete his/her program before registering for the last semester.
