Adding and Dropping Courses

A student may add and/or drop full term courses during the first two days of the term. This is known as the add/drop period. Adding a class after the add/drop period requires instructor approval. The form for issuing approval is located on the Registrar's Office web page. The form will be processed by the Registrar's Office following approval. The deadline for submitting instructor approval for full term courses is the second week of fall and spring term, and the first week of January term.

Changing sections of a course after the add/drop period requires permission of the instructor of the class a student is adding. This permission must be submitted in writing using an add/drop form to the Registrar’s Office.

Courses meeting for less than the full term, including 1 or 2 credit directed/independent studies, must adhere to add/drop, permission and withdrawal deadlines posted on the official academic dates and deadlines calendar.

Dropping a course after the first week of fall or spring classes is considered a withdrawal and will result in a grade of ‘W’ on the student’s transcript.
