Add or Drop a Course

All registration takes place through WebAdvisor, but if you need assistance with a reqistration request, you may add or drop a course by filling out a Drop/Add form.  Changes can be made at any time before the end of the first week of class at no charge.  There will be a $15 charge for any class added after the first week of the term.

In order to process your request, the form must include your name, ID number, term, type of change (add or drop), and all pertinent course information (department, course number, section, title, number of credits, and instructor).  

Add/Drop Guidelines:

• If a course is closed you must obtain the signature of the instructor of the course before returning the form to the Office of Student Administrative Services.
• If you have not met a prerequisite you will need to obtain the signature of the instructor or your advisor before returning the form to the Office of Student Administrative Services
• If you are a traditional Undergraduate and plan to take over 20 semester-hours, you must also complete an Overload Application. 
• You may not add a class after the first week of the term without permission from the instructor. 
• You may drop a class without academic penalty through the fourth week of class. Classes dropped during this time will not appear on your transcript. 
• Beginning the fifth week of classes, you will be assigned a grade of W (withdrawn), and the class will be listed on your transcript.  A W is not calculated into a student's grade-point average (GPA). 

The last day to drop course with a grade of W depends on the length of the term

Term Length

After these dates, students will be assigned grades that are used in the calculation of their GPA.

If you decide to stop attending a course, you must formally withdraw from the course by completing a Drop/Add form. Mere absence from class and/or notice to the instructor does not constitute withdrawal.  A grade of DW will be assigned to unauthorized withdrawals and the grade will be calculated as an F.

Keep in mind that most student loan agencies and scholarships require you to be a full-time student.  Contact the Office of Financial Aid with questions regarding your financial aid status.
