Application for Change of School (PDF)
This form is required of undergraduate students wishing to change schools within KU. Change of School forms are included with applications to SOE; once a student is formally admitted the form will be sent to the Admissions Office for processing.

Course Repeat Form
Students shall be allowed to repeat for credit a course in which they have already received a grade of D or F without the consent of the dean of the College or School in which the course is offered. A student retaking a course in which he or she originally received the grade of D or F may elect to replace the original grade with the new grade, subject to the restrictions in 2.2.10. Students seeking to replace a grade of D or F in a semester-long course originally taken at the University of Kansas must register their choice in the dean's office of the school where the course is offered no later than the fifth and sixth weeks of the semester. In all eight-week courses, including summer session, students must register for course-retake no later than the third week of class. In courses of other duration, students must register their choice no later than the week that 40 percent of the class sessions have been completed. In courses shorter than one week, students must register their choice before the first class session. The original grade earned by a student will appear on the student's transcript, but it will not be calculated into the total hours earned. This rule does not apply to those courses for which it is assumed new work occurs during the repeated enrollment under the original title, such as independent study, physical education skill instruction courses, and thesis or dissertation hours.
