Once registered, 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.
Complete the form with the following information: your ID number,
your name, the term, the type of change (add or drop), and course
information (department, number, section, title, number of credits,
and instructor).

Important things to remember:
- You must obtain the signatures of the instructor
of the course and your advisor before returning the form to
the Center for Records and Registration.
- If you are a student in the traditional undergraduate
program and you are dropping below 12 semester-hours or adding
above 16 semester-hours, you must secure the signatures of the
Business Office and Financial Aid Office before a schedule change
can be made (whether or not you are receiving financial assistance).
If you are adding above 19 semester-hours, you must also complete
a Petition for Overload.
- You may not add a class after the first week
of the term without special permission from the instructor.
- You may drop a class without academic penalty
through the fourth week of class. Classes dropped during this
time do not appear on your permanent record.
- After the beginning of the fifth week of classes,
your instructor must assign a grade of W (withdrawn), and the
class will be listed on your permanent record. A W is not
calculated into a student's grade-point average (GPA).
- The last day to withdraw from a course with
a grade of W depends on the length of the term:
| Term length |
Last date to drop a course with a grade of W |
| 16-week, Fall/Spring semester |
The end of the 12th week |
| 7 1/2-week, Fall/Spring quad |
The end of the 6th week |
| 9-week, Summer semester |
The end of the 7th week |
| 4 1/2-week, Summer quad |
The end of the 3rd week |
| 3-week mini-term (May) |
The end of the 2nd week |
After these dates, students will be assigned grades that are used in the calculation of their GPA.
- Forms submitted after 4:30 p.m. of the last
day of regularly scheduled classes will not be accepted, and
the student will be assigned a grade of DW (dropped without
permission) and will be calculated as an F.
- 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.
- Please keep in mind that most student loan
agencies and scholarships require you to be a full-time undergraduate
student. Therefore, you must carry a minimum of 12 credit-hours
per term. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid (244-5520)
with questions regarding your financial aid status.
