Please read the frequently asked questions before contacting the Office of the Registrar. Reviewing the FAQ will likely answer your question sooner than waiting for a response from the Registrar.
How do I add or drop a class?
Students may add or drop courses independently through the student portal before the add/drop deadline published in the Academic Calendar.
After the full-term add/drop deadline has passed, any changes to Module 2 courses or issues requiring administrative assistance must be handled through submission of an Add/Drop form. In such cases, it is generally recommended, and may be required to obtain approval from your Academic Advisor or Program Director. Once submitted, you will receive an email confirmation within 1–2 business days indicating the request has been processed.
To view add/drop deadlines, please visit the KGI Academic Calendar.
How can I order a transcript?
To order your official transcripts, please visit the transcripts page.
Enrollment or degree verification: What is it and how do I do it?
Visit the enrollment verification page.
How can I cross register for courses at other campuses in The Claremont Colleges?
First, determine the specific course you want to take. Check out courses at Claremont Graduate University (including Drucker School of Management). *Please note, your program director will need to approve all courses taken at CGU.
For all courses other than Drucker MGT courses, you will need to get instructor approval. DO NOT contact Drucker Faculty for approval.
Email registrar@kgi.edu for the Cross-Registration form. Within 2-3 business days of receiving your form and instructor and program director approval, you’ll be notified by the registrar on your status for the course. ** Completing this process does not guarantee enrollment, as registration is based on available seats in the course.
If you decided to drop a course that you are cross-registered for, you MUST contact the KGI registrar in order to do so.
What if I need to make an exception to current KGI policies?
Fill out an Academic Petition.
I am graduating this semester. What do I need to do?
