Resources for Students

To help students navigate institutional policies and procedures, here are some links to important information and resources from academic advising, the provost and the course catalog.

From the Office of Academic Advising

• Advising Syllabus: A document outlining expectations for the Advising Office, faculty advisors, and student advisees.
• Enrollment Considerations: A list of considerations, including AP/IB credits, minimum units, foreign language placement, and major planning.
• Degree Requirements Self-Audit: A document to help students informally track completion of non-major degree requirements.
• WHAT DO I DO?!: A list of common questions and which office or person to reach out to for answers, especially when difficult circumstances arise.
• Campus Resources: A list of key resources on campus to help students acclimate to life at Kenyon and beyond.
• Student Success Funds: A source of funds through the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) to help with books and other educational expenses.

From the Office of the Provost

Important Academic Policies: A memo articulating policies concerning academic honesty, class attendance, progress reports, course expulsion, course withdrawal, final exams, grace/reading periods, incompletes, grades, and other areas of faculty and student concerns related to the conduct of courses.

Final Exams, Incompletes, and Grades: A delineation of policies concerning the navigation of coursework completion at the end of the semester.

Final exam adjustments during finals week are only made for extenuating circumstances (such as significant health issues or family death). Students should consult impacted faculty and the Deans immediately if such issues arise. Note that travel or work do not constitute extenuating circumstances for final exam adjustments.

The semester officially ends at 4:30 p.m. on the last day of final exam week. NO WORK may be expected or submitted after that time unless there are extenuating circumstances (such as significant health issues or family death) and incompletes have been formally requested and granted. Students should consult impacted faculty and the Deans immediately if such issues arise.
