Adding/Dropping Classes
Degree seeking students must be enrolled by the close of business on the first day of any academic semester. Non-degree students must be enrolled by the close of business on the last day of the first week of classes for any given semester.
Weeks listed below pertain to 16-week classes only. Actual dates for the current semester can be found on the Registrar's home page. Short-term classes will have prorated dates. Contact the Registrar's Office for prorated dates.
Adding a Class
1st week of classes — You may add a class with your signature and your adviser's signature. If you are changing only a section number, only your signature is required.
2nd & 3rd weeks of classes — You may add a class with your signature and the signatures of your adviser and the class instructor.
After the 3rd week of classes — You may add a class with your signature and the signatures of your adviser, the class instructor, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost.
Dean or assistant dean approval is also needed if you are overloading a class, a restriction is being lifted, or your schedule is overloaded.
Non-degree students will follow all the rules listed above with the exception of the adviser signature and the student overload. Prerequisites apply to non-degree students, as well as degree-seeking students.
Dropping a Class
Thru the 3rd week of classes — You may drop a class without a "W" grade or instructor signature. Adviser's approval is required. If dropping a class during the 2nd or 3rd week of classes, it is preferred that you visit the Registrar's Office to assure correct tuition reimbursement for the class(es) dropped.
4th - 13th week of classes — You may drop a class with a "W" grade. You will need the signatures of your adviser and class instructor.
After the 13th week of classes — Dropping a class is not an option without a written appeal from the class instructor to the Vice President of Academic Affairs/Provost.
"W" grades are not available in developmental courses.
