All drop/add forms will be accepted no later than 2:00 p.m. on the last to add a class or drop a class.

Adding a Course

Students may add a class up through the 8th instructional day of the fall and spring semesters. Workshops, short-courses (including summer courses) and other nontraditional courses may be added within the first 10% (approximately) (This percentage is based on the number of days in a shorter part-of-term, i.e. 45 days in summer is 6% of the full term of 75 days) of the course subject to approval by the instructor. A student seeking to add a course that results in a course load of more than 21 semester credits requires the approval of the Dean of Academics.

Dropping a Course

Students may drop a class up through the 8th instructional day of the fall and spring semesters. A course that has been dropped within this timeframe will not appear on a student’s transcript. Workshops, short-courses (including summer courses) and other nontraditional courses may be dropped within the first 10% (approximately) (This percentage is based on the number of days in a shorter part-of-term, i.e. 45 days in summer is 6% of the full term of 75 days). Students are strongly encouraged to work with their academic advisor as dropping a class may impact progress toward a degree/certificate, enrollment status and financial aid status.

Withdrawal

Students may withdraw from a course on any class day during the regular class semester, but not after finals have commenced. If the withdrawal takes place on the 11th-60th instructional day a grade of ‘W’ will be placed on the transcript. A ‘W’ grade has no grade point average (GPA) value and will not change the student’s previous cumulative GPA. 

If the withdrawal takes place after the 60th instructional day a grade of ‘WF’ will be placed on the transcript. A ‘WF’ grade will be calculated within the GPA in the same manner as an ‘F’.

Students wanting to withdraw from all courses must complete a ‘Withdrawal From School” form and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. The form is available in the Registrar's Office.
