Issue/Question
How do I drop a student from a course due to non-attendance?
Environment
Cause
The student in question needs to be manually removed from the course and course roster due to non-attendance.
Resolution
Typically the course instructor can complete this action via TopNet; however, the instructor should contact their office associate and the WKU Office of the Registrar because there are additional requirements in order to properly drop a student for non-attendance. Once student is dropped for non-attendance their account will be removed from systems like WKU Blackboard after the records are updated and synced.
Note: If you need to drop a student for non-attendance past the semester two-week introduction period, you must speak with WKU Office of the Registrar to complete this process properly.
- Log into TopNet.
- Click Faculty Services.
- Click Drop for Non-Attendance Worksheet.
- Select appropriate term, if prompted.
- Select correct CRN/Course for student that needs to be dropped.
- Click Submit.
- Locate student on roster shown, and select option to Drop For Non-Attendance.
- Repeat process for any additional students.
- One appropriate students are selected, click Submit Drops.
Note: All students selected will display for a final check to ensure they are the correct students. Please review this page carefully to avoid any mistakes.
- To make changes, click CANCEL Pending Drops. If all information is correct, click SUBMIT Pending Drops.
If you accidentally drop a student and need to re-enroll them in your course, you must contact WKU Office of the Registrar. Instructors are unable to resolve this issue themselves.
