Adding and Dropping Courses

You can make changes to your course schedule for any term until that term starts, and with certain limitations after it begins. The following information details 91社区福利’s course add and course drop procedures and guidelines. Please note that these procedures do not guarantee you admission into any course. We strongly suggest you meet regularly with your to plan your successful course progression through your whole program.

Course Additions

You may add classes to your schedule before the beginning of each term and through the first week of class. Without permission from the instructor, you cannot add a full-semester class after the first week of the semester, nor can you add quad classes after the first week of the class. A late registration and/or a change in registration fee may be assessed.

Attendance in class without registering for the course will not be permitted. No credit will be granted if you have not registered for the class at the appropriate time.

Course Drops

You may drop a course through Friday of the first week of class without financial or academic penalty. After the first week, dropping a course may result in financial and/or academic penalties.

If you stop attending a class, you must formally withdraw by submitting an Add/Drop Form. Simply being absent from class or notifying the instructor without completing the form does not constitute an official drop. Unauthorized drops will receive a grade of 鈥淒W鈥� (Dropped without Permission) and a grade point of zero will be applied.

Your official drop date is determined by the date the Office of the Registrar receives your formal written notice. The final date to drop a course with a grade of 鈥淲鈥� varies by term length. See the table below for details on how your grade report may be affected based on the course length and the date you withdraw.

Course Length Drop without an Assigned Grade Drop with an Assigned Grade of “W”
16 weeks End of 4th Week 5th鈥�12th Week

4.5 weeks (summer term) End of 2nd Week End of 3rd Week
