1. 1 Your science class needs a lab

   In the KU Core 34 requirements, the Natural & Physical Sciences goal is "4-5 hours; must include a lab". A lecture course on its own does not finish the goal. Before you enroll, check that the science course you pick comes with its lab, or that you add the separate lab course that goes with it.

2. 2 An Incomplete turns into an F

   The University Senate rules: "An I not removed according to this rule shall automatically convert to a grade of F or U, or the lapse grade assigned by the course instructor". The deadline the instructor sets "may not exceed one calendar year from the original grade due date". If you take an I, write the completion date in your calendar and finish well before it.

3. 3 Under a 2.0? You get one warning

   In the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences: "Students who fall below a 2.00 KU cumulative GPA for the first time will be placed on notice." And: "Students will only receive one notice semester." If your GPA slips under 2.0, treat that notice semester as your one chance to recover, and see your advisor right away.

4. 4 45 hours must be 300-level or higher

   "A minimum of 45 credit hours in courses numbered 300 or above is required for graduation from all KU undergraduate schools." A schedule full of 100- and 200-level electives can leave you short in your last year. Plan the upper-level hours into all four years.

5. 5 Record the lecture — Gus makes the notes, flashcards and quiz

   Gus is an AI college companion built around your actual classes. Record a lecture and it writes the notes, pulls out the key topics, builds a flashcard deck, and makes a practice quiz from what was actually said. The flashcards come back on a spaced-review schedule, so the thing you missed shows up again right before you would have forgotten it. It is free to try.
