Strong Recommendation

In order to ensure every senior student will get a Diploma and Degree certificate in time (the end of June or the beginning of July), strongly recommend students should finish all the CNCC courses before their Junior Fall Semester.

The best plan is four courses (Approaching History, The Inheritance and Internationalization of Chinese Culture，Arguing and Thinking, Social Concerns) taken in the First Year and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is taken in the Second Year; Situation and Policies should be finished before the third year.

International students should finish all the CNCC courses before their Senior Winter Semester.

3. Attention: Students should do a good job in the management of their courses to avoid grades effects or other negative consequence. The following cases will be handled according to the corresponding rules. Please read them carefully and follow them strictly. Thanks for your cooperation.

  • If students registered for the course but failed to attend the whole course and will be treated as absenteeism directly. As a result that the final scores will be recorded as F;
  • If students did not drop the course within the time set by Registrar Office, and did not continue the course in that semester, they will be treated as absenteeism directly. As a result that the final scores will be recorded as F;
  • The students whose number of unexcused absences or requests for leave exceeds 1/3 of the total number of classes (including 1/3) unable to attend final exams or assessments and the final scores will be recorded as F; If students asked for leave but handed in the homework later, the corresponding homework score could be kept according to the course assessment requirements but the corresponding attendance score would be 0; Absence without reason will be treated as absenteeism and the score for homework & attendance is 0.
  • Email is a formal and effective way for WKU to communicate with students. As an extremely important tool for students to receive notifications and information from WKU, students have to check their Emails in time (including KU Emails and WKU Emails). If there are some problems with email or worry about have not received the email, students must ask some relevant departments for help or consultation through various ways. Otherwise, students have to bear the relevant consequences by themselves without any accountability.
