Online PD Course Drop Policy Because KDE, KVHS, and e-Learning Kentucky want to be good stewards of state general funds and grant money and do not want to pay for virtual services, which educators do not use, the following is the procedure to drop a course. Participants are encouraged to drop a course if: –the registrant determines this course is not appropriate or will be more work than previously thought or –a registrant’s professional or personal situation has changed since course registration. After 10 days (January 25) from the course start date, participants who do not complete the activities required in the first unit of the course will be asked by their facilitators if they intend to complete the course. Participants not responding to this inquiry will be dropped from the course.
