No fees will be refunded to students who withdraw after the midterm date. 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 Student Volunteer Center, located in 206B Mathews Building, works to provide student learning experiences associated with student volunteerism in service to the community by organizing volunteer efforts and by matching prospective student volunteers with community service agencies needing volunteers. The Office for Experiential Education also operates a Shadowing program. This noncredit program gives students the opportunity to follow a working professional for a day.
