The KSAP undergraduate course (ANTH 2100) is intended to meet the equivalence of the on-campus 3 credit Introduction to Africa course. Enrollment in the KSAP course will officially begin at the time a student registers for the program, but work begins as early as the first orientation meeting and extends until the end of December 2003 if a student needs additional time to complete course requirements. Students will be given an incomplete grade until all course requirements, assessments, and feedback have been completed.
