Drop/Add

Changes in a student's course schedule must be made through the drop/add process. This may be completed online through the end of the week in which classes begin. After this time, a Drop/Add Form is required to complete a schedule change (Drop/Add Forms are available from the Office of the Registrar in SSC-132). The student's advisor and the instructor of the course must sign the Drop/Add Form. The corresponding department chair or dean may sign in the absence of either of these faculty.

When a 16 week undergraduate course is dropped...

  • Before the end of the first full calendar week: No record on transcript
  • During 2nd calendar through 9th calendar week: W - Withdrawn
  • 10th - 11th calendar weeks: WP - Withdrawn Passing or WF - Withdrawn Failing
  • Week 12 through the end of the semester: Dropping a course is not permitted

Course changes are complete when the Office of the Registrar receives the completed Drop/Add Form. The effective date of the course change and refund is the date the Office of the Registrar receives the completed form.

Failure to properly drop a class will result in a grade of "Z" which impacts a student's grade point average the same as an "F" grade.

The department chair/dean signature is required to add a course after two weeks of classes.
