No fees will be refunded to students who withdraw after the end of the fourth week of classes. Requests for refunds should be made at the appropriate office in University Extension. The request to withdraw must be made in person or in writing. If a request for withdrawal is made in writing, the date on which the letter or card is postmarked will be used as the official withdrawal date. Students earn academic credit by working in businesses, agencies, or other settings pertinent to their academic majors or career goals.
Students choose to earn credit through experiential education for many reasons.
Some wish to explore career alternatives and gain valuable work experience. Others participate in order to test theories they have learned in the classroom. The UK Service-Learning Program, located in 206B Mathews Building, acts as a clearinghouse for students who want to do volunteer work and area agencies who need volunteers. The office structures volunteer positions in a service-learning format in which the student volunteer is encouraged to reflect about the volunteer experience. The Office for Experiential Education also operates a Shadowing program.
