Notices

Kansas State University reserves the right to make changes in admission requirements, fees, degree requirements, and other rules and guidelines appearing in this catalog. Such changes take precedence over catalog statements. While reasonable effort is made to publicize any changes, the student should remain in close contact with departmental advisors and appropriate offices. Responsibility for complying with all applicable requirements ultimately rests with the student.

Although the university attempts to accommodate the course needs of students, course offerings may be limited by financial, space, and staffing considerations or may otherwise be unavailable. Nothing in this catalog may be construed to promise or guarantee registration in any course or course of study, nor may anything be construed to guarantee completion of an academic program within a specific length of time.

Admission to the Graduate School is not complete until application materials and Fees have been fully processed and the applicant has been notified in writing of admission by the Graduate School.

Student Responsibility

It is the responsibility of students to know and observe all regulations and procedures relating to the program they are pursuing, as well as those of the University and Graduate School. A regulation will not be waived nor an exception granted because students plead ignorance of, or contend that they were not informed of, the regulations or procedures. This catalog, the Graduate Handbook, guidelines on the Graduate School Website, and documents specific to individual graduate programs should be consulted. Questions on regulations and their interpretation pertaining to studies at the graduate level should be addressed to the Graduate School.

Students planning to graduate should become familiar with all pertinent deadlines. (A calendar of deadlines for each semester is available on the Graduate School website.) It is necessary to apply for graduation by the specified deadline to graduate in a particular semester, whether or not the student plans to attend the commencement ceremonies. Students must be enrolled the semester they graduate.
