Yes, you actually have to apply to graduate. Seems funny, but 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 fall graduation. Undergraduate students: direct any questions about graduation to your academic advisor. Graduate students: view the deadlines for graduation and ETDR submission checklists and contact the K-State Graduate School at 785-532-6191 or grad@k-state.edu with any questions.
In case you missed it, the dates for fall graduation ceremonies have been set. K-State looks forward to celebrating our spring, summer and fall 2020 graduates in combined ceremonies on Nov. 20 for the Polytechnic campus and Nov. 23 and 24 for the Manhattan campus. Like everything else in life right now, this is contingent on the COVID-19 conditions as the time nears. View the schedule of ceremonies as it currently stands, and check back regularly for updates.
Today, Sept. 8, is the last day to drop a regular session (aka full semester) class for a 100% refund. Next Monday, Sept. 14, is the last day to drop a regular session class for a 50% refund. The fall 2020 add/drop schedule includes future drop dates to check out. Remember to refer to the Non-Standard Drop/Refund Dates table for non-standard (aka short) session course deadlines.
