Add/Drop
and Course Withdrawals
The specific dates to add, modify or drop a course are available from your academic
advisor. You may also find the information by clicking on the link for "Academic Calendars" to the right (then look for "Schedule Revision" for the specific academic term).
The following general guidance applies to 16-week
courses.
A course can be added or modified with your advisor’s
signature, provided there is space in the course, during the
first week of the semester. A course may be added or modified
with the signature of your advisor and the class instructor
during the second, third, and fourth weeks of the semester. The
signature of your advisor, the class instructor, and the head
of the department in which the course is listed, are required
to add or modify a course during the fifth through tenth weeks
of the semester.
A course may be dropped during the first two weeks of the
semester without the course being recorded. The signature
of your advisor is required. Courses may be dropped during
the third and fourth weeks of the semester with only the signature
of your advisor. A grade of “W” is recorded. A
course dropped during the fifth through tenth weeks of the
semester requires the signature of your advisor and instructor. The
instructor must indicate whether you are passing or failing
the course. Grades of “W,” “WF,” or
“WN” will be recorded. Students with a semester
classification of 0, 1, or 2 do not need the instructor’s
signature. Their grades will be “W.”
