Attending KGI</a></p> <h2>Refund Policy</h2> <h3>Withdrawal and Refunds</h3> <p>In cases of withdrawal, KGI reduces tuition, fees, fellowship awards, and eligibility for student loans according to the schedule below. Date of withdrawal is defined as the date that the KGI Academic Affairs Office receives a signed statement of withdrawal from the student. Reductions of student loans are returned directly to the lenders of the funds in compliance with U.S. Department of Education requirements for calculating refunds of federal student loans in cases of withdrawal from an academic program.</p> <p><em>Note: If a student has already received checks from KGI for credit balances on student tuition accounts before withdrawal, the student will be required to reimburse KGI for all or part of the original credit balances. Please see the section on financial aid.</em></p> <div class="table-responsive"><table class="table table table-striped"> <thead> <tr class="table-active bg-kgi-purple text-white"> <th>Date of Withdrawal</th> <th>Refund Percentage</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Through the 1st week of classes</td> <td>Full refund</td> </tr> <tr> <td>After the 1st week through the 2nd week of classes</td> <td>90% refund</td> </tr> <tr> <td>After the 2nd week through the 3rd week</td> <td>75% refund</td> </tr> <tr> <td>After the 3rd week through the 6th week of classes</td> <td>50% refund</td> </tr> <tr> <td>After 6 weeks</td> <td>No refund</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <h3> </h3> <h3>R2T4 Requirements</h3> <p>Return of Title IV funds (R2T4) requirements govern the return of “unearned” federal student aid when a student withdraws from all Title IV courses before completing a term. </p> <p>When distributing student financial assistance, the federal government assumes students will complete the entire academic term for which they’ve received aid. After withdrawing, students typically become ineligible for the entire aid package the institution originally awarded them. Therefore, when a student withdraws, the institution must report it and determine how much Title IV aid that student “earned” using R2T4 calculations.</p> <p>Schools determine the “earned” and “unearned” portions of Title IV aid as of the student’s withdrawal date using a prorated schedule for the first 60 percent of the term. However, if the academic term is more than 60 percent completed at the time the student withdrew, then the student has “earned” 100 percent of the Title IV funds he or she was slated to receive during that period. After calculating the student’s earned Title IV aid, the institution must return the unearned portion that the school is responsible for and notify the student of any amount that he or she must return.</p> <h2>Procedure for Official Withdrawal</h2> <p>View <a href="https://student.kgi.edu/_resources/documents/Academic-Policies-and-Procedures-Handbook.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Academic Policies and Procedures Handbook</a></p> <p><strong>Termination</strong></p> <p>The Dean of the KGI SHS and SOP reserve the right to terminate a student at any time in order to safeguard the School’s standards of scholarship, professional and personal conduct, and orderly operation. Actions which threaten or endanger, in any way, the personal safety and/or well-being of self or other, or which disrupt or interfere with the orderly operation of the School are cause for immediate termination of the student. A student who is terminated may not be reinstated under any circumstances.</p> <p><strong>Total Withdrawal</strong></p> <p>Attendance at the School is a privilege granted in consideration of specified levels of performance and of maintaining the established standards of scholarship and personal and professional conduct. The Dean of the KGI SHS and SOP reserve the right to require withdrawal at any time they deem necessary to safeguard the school’s standards of scholarship, conduct, and orderly operation. The student concedes this right by the act of matriculation.</p> <p><strong>Voluntary Withdrawal</strong></p> <p>Application for voluntary withdrawal from the School must be made in writing to the ADSA in the SHS and SOP. Except in rare and special circumstances, the application will be accompanied by a personal interview with a member of the SHS's and SOP's administrative team. Every effort should be made by the student to assure that no misunderstandings or errors occur in the withdrawal process. Following notification by the student and the personal interview, the ADSA will notify the Dean and will provide the student with the forms necessary to process the official withdrawal. A student, who leaves the School without notifying the Office for Student Affairs and completing the established withdrawal procedures within 30 days, will automatically be terminated from the Institute and will not be considered for re-admission at a later date. Withdrawal is not complete until the required forms are signed by the student, the ADSA, the Dean, the KGI Registrar, and the President of KGI. This form will be available in the Office for Student Affairs.</p> <p><strong>Mandatory Withdrawal</strong></p> <p>As stated in Academic Policies and Procedures above, students who have made unsatisfactory progress may be required to withdraw from the program “not in good academic standing”. Students, who leave the School without completing the established withdrawal procedure within 30 days, will automatically be terminated from KGI and will not be considered for re-instatement at a later date.</p> <p><strong>Attendance Policy for Online Courses</strong></p> <p>Online students are subject to the following attendance policy. Student attendance in an online course is defined as active participation in the course. Participation in this course may take the form of posting to discussion forums, submitting assignments to drop boxes, or completing quizzes or exams. Students need to participate each week in some way to satisfy the attendance requirement. (Note: logging into the course does not qualify as participation and will not be counted as meeting the attendance requirement).</p> <p>Students can be dropped seven calendar days after the start of the semester if they:</p> <ol> <li>Fail to meet the attendance requirement (as defined above) during the first week of class, OR</li> <li>Fail to contact the instructor in the event of a technical problem, OR</li> <li>Fail to contact the instructor during the first week of class regarding their inability to complete either #1 or # 2 above.</li> </ol> <p>In addition, any student failing to meet the attendance requirement for more than two consecutive weeks may be sent a “stopped attending” letter. At midterm the Institute will administratively drop any student who has failed to meet the attendance requirement as set forth by the instructor. After midterm, students who stop participating in a class without officially dropping a class and who are not administratively dropped may receive a grade of “F” for the course. This may also have an impact on certain financial aid awards. It is ultimately the responsibility of the student to drop a course. Any student who can’t meet the attendance requirements for a given week should contact their instructor immediately.</p> <h2>Academic Programs at KGI</h2> <ul> <li>Visit<span> </span><a href="/degrees-and-programs/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KGI's degrees and programs</a></li> </ul> <h2>Information for Students with Disabilities</h2> <p>Students with a disability may experience some unique challenges while pursuing a degree or certificate.

Far fewer Americans know that September 17<sup>th</sup> is the birthday of our government, the date in 1787 on which delegates to the Philadelphia Convention completed and signed the U.S. Constitution.</p> <p>The ideas on which America was founded–commitments to the rule of law, limited government and the ideals of liberty, equality and justice–are embodied in the Constitution, the oldest written constitution of any nation on Earth. <strong>Constitution Day</strong><span> </span>is intended to celebrate not only the birthday of our government but the ideas that make us Americans.</p> <p><strong>The Constitution</strong></p> <p>Constitution Day is celebrated on September 17.</p> <p>On September 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers signed the most influential document in American history: the United States Constitution. This document established the framework of our government and the rights and freedoms that “We the People” enjoy today. In 2012, the National Constitution Center served as the national headquarters for the 225th anniversary of the Constitution’s signing.</p> <p>Online Resources: Here are some great online resources to help you learn more about the Constitution.</p> <p><a href="http://www.constitutionday.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Constitution Day Website</a></p> <p><a href="http://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Interactive Constitution</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.billofrightsinstitute.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill of Rights Institute</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/constitution-day/signers.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Archives</a></p></div></div><section><div class="container"></div></section><div class="section"></div></div><!-- OU Search Ignore Start Here --><footer id="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <ul class="footer-social nav justify-content-center"> <li class="nav-item"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KeckGraduateInstitute/" class="facebook" target="_blank"><span class="visually-hidden">Facebook</span></a></li> <li class="nav-item"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/keckgrad/" class="instagram" target="_blank"><span class="visually-hidden">Instagram</span></a></li> <li class="nav-item"><a href="https://twitter.com/keckgrad" class="twitter" target="_blank"><span class="visually-hidden">X</span></a></li> <li class="nav-item"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/school/keck-graduate-institute/" class="linkedin" target="_blank"><span class="visually-hidden">LinkedIn</span></a></li> <li class="nav-item"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@KeckGrad" class="youtube" target="_blank"><span class="visually-hidden">YouTube</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-xl-3"><a href="/index.html"><img src="/_resources/images/kgi-tcc-logo-negative.svg" alt="Keck Graduate Institute"></a><br><h2><a href="/">Keck Graduate Institute</a></h2> <ul class="footer-address"> <li class="location"><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/hZa73Wdkt7S2" target="_blank">535 Watson Drive<br>Claremont, CA 91711</a></li> <li><a href="tel:(909) 8194544" target="_blank">(909) 819-4544</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-lg-9 col-xl-8 offset-xl-1"> <div class="row footer-nav justify-content-center"> <div class="col-6 col-md-6"> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a href="/careers/index.html">Careers</a></li> <li><a href="/explore-kgi/about/directions.html">Directions</a></li> <li><a href="/policies/index.html">Policies</a></li> <li><a href="/clery-reporting/index.html">Clery Reporting</a></li> <li><a href="/policies/title-ix.html">Title IX</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-6 col-md-6"> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li><a href="/accreditation/index.html">Accreditation</a></li> <li><a href="/institutional-research/index.html">Institutional Research</a></li> <li><a href="/policies/nondiscrimination-and-pregnancy.html">Notice of Nondiscrimination</a></li> <li><a href="/explore-kgi/about/the-claremont-colleges.html">The Claremont Colleges</a></li> <li><a href="/coronavirus/index.html">Coronavirus</a></li> <li><a href="/website-accessibility/index.html">Website Accessibility</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="copyright"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <ul class="list-inline"> <li class="list-inline-item text-white"><span aria-label="direct edit login" id="directedit">©</span> Copyright 2024.
