Welcome to the Academic Office home page! During your time at Kuyper College, we expect that you will be in contact with us often about your course schedule and your progress towards graduation. We are the first place of contact if you decide to drop or add a class, change your major, change your advisor, or request a transcript. The Academic Office keeps track of your grades, monitors how close you are to graduation, updates your academic records, develops the academic calendar and determines the course offerings every semester. Kuyper College is also an official CLEP Test Center. Please contact us to register for a CLEP test.
We have designed our home page to be as helpful as possible to you. Here, you will find downloadable drop/add and transcript request forms that you can print off, fill out and send or bring back to us. You will also find information on Academic Policies, Graduation, FERPAand Accreditation. If you have any questions, or need more information, please call us, e-mail us, or stop by the Academic Office. Our contact information is below.
