Class Schedule Changes - Add Drop Withdraw

The first six class days of each semester is the “Add/Drop” period. No courses may be added or dropped after that period. The “Withdrawal” (“W”) period extends until seven calendar days after mid-semester grades are distributed. Schedule changes for open classes can be processed by the Registrar’s Office. For closed and “permission required” courses, a signed schedule change form must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office for processing.

All students must register for classes no later than the second day of the semester. Students may add or drop classes from their semester course schedule during the first six class days of the Fall or Spring semester. For May and Summer terms, students may add or drop classes from their course schedule on the first two class days of the term. Forms for this purpose are available online at the Registrar’s Office webpage. All required signatures must be included on the form for the change request to be processed.

A student desiring to withdraw from a course after the add/drop period must obtain signatures of both the instructor and the academic advisor. When the signed form is returned to the Registrar’s Office, a grade of “W” will be recorded on the permanent record. No withdrawal forms will be accepted by the Registrar’s Office after 5:00 pm on the seventh calendar day after publication of mid-semester grades.  Withdrawal from May and Summer classes is determined by published dates on the Academic Calendar.  Students with severe illness or exceptional circumstances may petition the       VP of Academic Affairs for late withdrawal from a course during any term.
