There are no refunds at this time for Withdrawing from a course. You will need to Withdraw if your instructor has indicated you cannot earn an Incomplete.
If you have exhausted other options and need to withdraw, you must submit an Online Withdrawal Form at https://my.kckcc.edu/webforms/pages/withdrawal_form.aspx before the academic calendar deadlines listed below.
Overall, we strongly discourage withdrawing from courses, especially those students who depend on federal financial aid or scholarships that require satisfactory academic progress. Students will earn a grade of W; this does not negatively impact your GPA but may impact Satisfactory Academic Progress. There is no refund for withdrawn courses.
No, this is not an option at this time. You will need to Withdraw from the class prior to April 21 (for full semester courses).
For extenuating circumstances, including medical emergency, students still need to take action to Withdraw via the Online Withdrawal Form. On a case-by-case basis, Enrollment Management leadership will consider extenuating circumstances.

We will have a formalized process for checking out (Move-Out) during March 18-30. Students will need to sign up for a two-hour block of time to move out of student housing. To schedule an appointment, students will need to contact the Student Housing Supervisor at 913-200-4532. The time slots are limited to five students per slot.
Please be assured KCKCC will not move students out of residential housing if they have no other place to stay. Special considerations will be made for students in highly exceptional situations who do not have a permanent residence or cannot return to their permanent residences, including some international students. KCKCC Housing leaders will work directly with the students and extenuating circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Students will need to contact the Student Housing Supervisor at 913-200-4532.
The college is working on a process for any pro-rated housing refunds. If you are eligible for a housing pro-rated refund the refund will go directly to your KCKCC student account. More details to follow.
