Anytime/Anywhere (ATAW) courses are right for you.<br />
New registration policy: First-time students in Anytime/Anywhere<br />
classes must submit COMPASS or ACT scores. Students with earned<br />
<strong>Kirkwood</strong> ATAW credit are exempt from this restriction. Find further<br />
details about this policy under the Registration Rule link at www.kirkwood.edu/distancelearning.<br />

any <strong>Kirkwood</strong> campus or center location. Students outside of the <strong>Kirkwood</strong><br />
area can test at any accredited testing center and have scores<br />
sent to <strong>Kirkwood</strong> prior to ATAW registration. Contact the Test Center at<br />

Anytime/Anywhere Registration Restriction: Students with a GPA of<br />
less than 1.8 for all ATAW classes within the previous three years will<br />
have a registration restriction placed on their record. The restriction<br />
prevents registration in ATAW classes until the average for ATAW courses<br />
reaches 1.8 or better, or a three year period has passed. The average<br />
for ATAW courses can be improved by retaking failed or low-scored<br />
courses in a face-to-face format. Retaking and passing courses removes<br />
previous grades from the transcript. Removal of failing grades<br />
may also be accomplished by approval of a petition for policy waiver<br />
allowing withdrawal from those classes. Note: This registration restriction<br />
does not prevent students from enrolling in face-to-face or hybrid<br />
format classes, only ATAW classes.<br />
Anytime/Anywhere courses have deadlines: There is always a start<br />
and end date. Instructors decide on any other deadlines. you must<br />
