Drop/Add

After the initial registration period, students may make changes to their course registrations via Self-Service until the Friday before a semester begins. All changes made during this time incur no financial penalty. During the Summer, the drop-add deadline is the second day of classes.

Currently enrolled students' registration changes are completed in Self-Service; new-entering students must submit a signed Drop/Add form (requires the signatures of the student, faculty advisor, and instructor); new students must use the Drop/Add form, even if changing from one section of a course to another. 

Students registered in a course, who do not attend the first-class meeting may be summarily dropped from the course by the instructor. Students wishing to enroll in a course at or after the first meeting are admitted only at the discretion of the instructor, who will generally defer to the order of students on the waitlist for the course.

Courses that are held either the 1st Half of the Semester, or the 2nd Half of the Semester are typically one or two credit courses that meet for seven weeks. Students should register for these courses during the normal registration period but are permitted to add or drop as listed below.
