Semester Startup

I'm a new student. Where do I find important information?
A summary of the most important information is in your Fall Welcome brochure or online.

I have a question about housing
Almost everything about living on campus can be found here.

Calendars & Events

How do I find out about events on campus?
Check the calendar of public events or, for student events, visit here.

Where is the academic calendar?
The calendar is printed in the front section of the student handbook and the undergraduate catalog. You can also find it online.

Where can I find inexpensive entertainment?
For films shown at the Redfern Arts Center, rates for students are as low as $3. The presenting series events at the Redfern Arts Center are also discounted for students. Exhibits at the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery are free.

Where do I find the final exams schedule?
The schedule can be viewed here.

How do I find out my grades or GPA?
To view your grades or your GPA, you need to log on to MyKSC. Under "Student Services"/"Academic Profile" you can view the information.

Did I make it onto the Dean's List?
At the end of each semester, matriculated students who complete a semester with a minimum of six credits of indexable (not pass/fail) grades, earn a semester grade point average of 3.5 or higher, receive no failing grades nor grades of Incomplete, and have no missing grades, will be placed on the Dean's List.

Will my hometown paper learn if I'm on the Dean's List?
In January and May, the Marketing and Communications Office sends the names of Dean's List students to their hometown newspapers. Unfortunately, not all papers use this information, or they print it many weeks later. For more information, please contact the Marketing and Communications Office at 603-358-2102. Students with an "option 2 privacy hold" will not have this honor publicly acknowledged.

How many tickets can I get for Commencement?
Tickets are not necessary for Commencement unless weather forces it inside. Indoor seating will be limited to a small number of guests per student (4 or 5). A decision to move the ceremony indoors will be made by Friday morning before Commencement; it will be posted at www.keene.edu/commencement and on MyKSC.

Inclement Weather
The Commencement Ceremony will be held outside on Fiske Quad. You are strongly encouraged to check the weather forecast for Saturday and dress appropriately. We are known to experience all types of weather on Commencement Day. But, remember, this is New England and the weather can change quickly. Please check the forecast and dress accordingly. There are indoor viewing areas available for those guests who need to be out of the weather.

How do I find out if my class was canceled?
It’s good to be familiar with KSC’s inclement weather policy, which describes the campuswide response to bad weather. For a list of individually reported cancellations, click here.

Can I order my books online?
Yes, you can! Visit the bookstore online.
