• Understanding Days and Times Classes are Offered
  • The earliest classes typically start at 8:00am and the latest classes typically start at 8:00pm
  • KSU offers a handful of weekend classes, but most courses will be offered Monday-Friday.
  • Choose what class times work best for you and your schedule. 

  M=Monday
  T=Tuesday
  W=Wednesday
  R=Thursday
  F=Friday
  S=Saturday
  U=Sunday

  • So for example, a class labeled as meeting on "TR" would meet on both Tuesday and Thursday.
  • "MWF" would be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
  • "F" would be just Friday.
• Description of Class Types
  Traditional

  All class sessions meet face-to-face

  Hybrid

  Classes are taught through a combination of face-to-face and online sessions

  100% Online

  100% online courses are those courses that do not require any on campus visits or proctored exams.

  95% Online

  95% online courses will have one on-campus requirement, typically an orientation or exam. A proctored exam alternative is made available for students at a geographic distance of 50 miles or more from campus. It is the student's responsibility to obtain proctor approval from the instructor prior to scheduling a proctored examination.

  eCore

  100% online courses offered through the University System of Georgia (USG). Classes count the same as KSU online courses, but sections may be taught by professors from other universities within the USG.

• Where can you view your class schedule?

  To access an easy-to-view summary of your current registration, visit Owl Express then follow these instructions:

  1. Click on the Registration tab.
  2. Click on Display Your Class Registration and Grades.
  3. Refresh this page often if you are making multiple changes to your schedule.

  If a class you thought you signed up for is not listed here it means you are currently not registered or waitlisted for it. Go back to the Class Registration page and try again while paying close attention to any registration errors or waitlist prompts.

• Did you register for classes that will count towards your major?

  Check your DegreeWorks in your Owl Express account!

  DegreeWorks will automatically update as you register for classes. Courses that are satisfying an area of your degree will appear in blue. Courses that are not counting towards the degree you have declared will populate under "Unused Courses" at the bottom on the page.

  Recently submit a major change?

  If you have requested  a major change that has not yet processed, you can still check to see if the courses you registered for will count towards your new major by utilizing the "What-If"  function.

• What is a Course "Section"?

  In the context of a college course, a section is a group of students who are enrolled in the same course at the same time, led by a specific instructor.

  Typically, we offer multiple sections of the same course at different times of the day or week to accommodate students' schedules. For example, PSYC 1101 may have several sections, each with its own meeting time and instructor.

  Sections are designed to provide a consistent learning experience for students, regardless of which instructor they have. Each instructor should cover the same material, sometimes even use the same assignments and assessments, and follow a similar syllabus, ensuring that all students in the course receive the same level of instruction and have the similar expectations.

• Table of Section Codes and Their Meaning

  Starting block courses (eligible for students attending orientation and first-time freshmen)

• Spread your classes out over the week.

  Taking all your classes on just a couple of days makes for a long day. You also increase the likelihood of having several tests or major assignments due on the same day.

• Schedule classes at times you know you can be up and alert.

  General education classes like ENGL 1101, MATH 1111, and ECON 1000 are offered morning, afternoon, and evening. Build your schedule based around when you know you'll be awake and can focus! 

• You can make it anywhere on the Kennesaw or Marietta campus in about 15 minutes!
  • Don't worry if you have a back-to-back class on your schedule
  • Students can take classes on both the Kennesaw and Marietta campus. Be sure to check the location when registering.
• But don't schedule all of your classes back-to-back!

  It’s okay to have a class or two back-to-back, but do give yourself breaks to grab food or study in between classes. You'll thank yourself as tests come up or assignments are due!

• If you are taking classes at both campuses, give yourself at least an hour to get to the other campus.
  • Slowdowns on 75 are common, so don't go by the standard travel time.
  • The B.O.B. shuttles runs between campuses all day, so you can relax and let someone else worry about the driving!
• Do not complete all your general education courses before starting major courses.

  Completing your Gen Ed first is a common piece of advice friends or family like to give, but doing this more than likely means you may get to a point where you do not have enough classes to create a schedule!
