SCHEDULE CHANGES (DROP/ADD)

A student may make changes in his schedule of courses by completing a "Drop-Add" card, which is available in the Registrar’s Office; obtaining the signed approval of the academic advisor; and returning the completed "Drop-Add" card to the Registrar’s Office. Courses may also be added or dropped during scheduled registration periods. The Vice President for Academic Affairs must approve any change of schedule which causes a course overload.

The deadlines listed below apply to all changes in schedules made during the regular term:

The seventh calendar day following registration is the last day to register late, add a course, drop a course with no notation on the academic record or to change from the regular grading system to "pass/fail," or vice versa.

From this time until the midpoint of any course, regardless of the academic term, a grade of "W" (Withdrawal) will be recorded on the student's transcript. If a student withdraws after this date, the student will receive a grade of "F" in that course.

The last day to drop a half-term course is the midpoint of that course.  Students are strongly urged to confer with the instructor before making a final decision to withdraw from a course.

Students should pay particular attention to the procedural directions printed on the forms provided by the Registrar. No course is officially dropped or added until the required procedure is completed.
