Yes, you actually have to apply to graduate. For some reason, universities require students to apply to get in and apply to get out. So if you're in your last semester, be sure to apply for spring graduation. Undergraduate students: direct any questions about graduation to your academic advisor. Graduate students: view the graduation and commencement deadline calendar and contact the K-State Graduate School at 785-532-6191 or grad@k-state.edu with any questions.
If you hate free money, keep scrolling. Love free money but don't think you'll qualify for grants or scholarships? Or maybe you want to learn more about them before you take the time to apply?

Feb. 17 is the last day to drop a regular session (aka full-semester) class for a 50% refund. Just to make things interesting, non-standard (aka short) courses have their own unique drop/refund dates and follow these deadlines. Dropping all of your classes requires you to contact your academic dean's office. Graduate students should email grad@k-state.edu.
Student ID cards are available to K-State Global Campus students via postal mail. A digital color copy of a government-issued photo ID and photo are required.

Visit K-State Olathe on Feb. 13 from 12:30-5:30 p.m. to get one during their Wildcat ID walk-in event.
Discover the world and discover yourself with Education Abroad. Global Campus students are welcome to enroll in study abroad opportunities. Get started on the Education Abroad website (note Feb. 15 and March 15 are two important upcoming deadlines) or contact them at 785-532-5990 or overseas@k-state.edu. We're also pretty sure that if you visit a country for longer than a week, you get to say you lived there.
