Dates for System-generated KN Grades
KN Grade
If a student withdraws from a subject after two thirds of the teaching period has passed but before the end of teaching period, they will have a KN grade recorded against that subject. 'KN' signifies that a student has withdrawn with academic penalty (i.e. counted as a failure).
A student cannot withdraw from a subject after the teaching period has ended.
