If you read the syllabus you are aware that KU has implemented a new policy:

All Kaplan University undergraduate students will be considered conditionally admitted to the University and will not receive financial aid while in this status.

All University policies nevertheless apply to such students, and they enjoy all the rights and resources of a fully instated student during the period of conditional admittance.

At the end of the fifth week of classes, the University will review the academic performance of conditionally admitted students.

Students who have earned a grade up to that point of 65 percent or higher for all coursework will be allowed to continue in their program and will only then be eligible for disbursement of any financial aid and to receive credit for the course.

The University will reverse the enrollment of any student not meeting these criteria, and such a student will not owe any financial obligation to the University except for the application fee, which is non-refundable.

Students whose enrollments are reversed in this manner may not reapply for admission for one year unless they qualify for a waiver as applied by the dean of their respective school.

If you have any questions, please contact your Academic Advisor.
