If this is your first experience with online learning, you may still have some questions about what to expect. These Tips for Success will help you get started in the online learning environment.
If you need to drop a class, make sure you do so before the deadline. Due to differing start/end dates, it is important you know how to view drop dates for each class on your schedule. Dropping all of your classes requires you to contact your academic dean's office. Graduate students should email grad@k-state.edu.
If your answer is something like, "I'm not sure, yet" to the age-old question, "So, what are you going to do with that degree?" then you are not alone. Most degrees lend well to a variety of different careers. It's never too early, or too late, to dive deeper into your options. Check out 10 ways to connect your major to a career. Students can also make an appointment with the K-State Career Center. They can help make the process a little less daunting.
The Academic Achievement Center provides online tutoring via Zoom for undergraduate students enrolled in K-State Online classes. Whether you're anxious about a course after seeing the syllabus or confident in the material and could benefit from help to lock in that A, request a tutor today.

Graduating seniors can purchase a senior ad by the Feb. 1 deadline. Purchase the 2022 Royal Purple Yearbook now and receive your copy in early May.
