DROPPING
A student may drop classes using WebEASI through the first week of classes during the Fall and Spring Semester. Students can drop classes for the Summer Term using WebEASI before the Summer Term begins. Once the Summer Term has started, ALL drops must be processed through the Office of Student Records and Registration.
If a student wishes to drop all classes AFTER a Semester or Summer Term has started, they must see the Registrar's Office (Undergraduates) or the Graduate Office (Graduate Students) to process the complete withdrawal forms.
Students wishing to drop part but not all classes after a Fall or Spring Semester or Summer Term has started and before the end of the drop period must follow these steps:
- Obtain a drop form at the Office of Student Records and Registration.
- Complete the drop form and get the signature of the instructor of the class that is being dropped. If the instructor is not available to sign the form, the Department Chairperson or College Dean may sign the form for the instructor.
- Return the drop form to the Office of Student Records and Registration for processing. Refunds are determined by the date that the form is processed in the Office of Student Records and Registration, NOT the date that the instructor signed the form. The transaction is NOT complete until the form has been returned and processed by the Office of Student Records and Registration.
During a Fall or Spring semester, the last day to drop a full-semester class is the end of the 9th week. For classes shorter than a full semester in length, the drop deadline is the mid-point of the course.
To drop a course after the Summer Session has begun but prior to the beginning date of the course, students can complete the drop form at the Registrar's Office or send a written notice or signed fax to the Registrar's Office. If the student mails the notice or sends a fax, the notification must be received at the Registrar's Office prior to the beginning date of the class. The class will be retained on the students schedule with a W grade and will be refunded 100%. If the request to drop was received by mail or fax, the Registrar's Office will send the student confirmation that the class has been dropped from the student's schedule.
If the student wishes to drop a summer class on or after the beginning date of the class, the student should obtain a drop/add form from the Registrar's Office, have the instructor sign the form, and return the signed form to the Registrar's Office for processing. During the summer session, students should consult the appropriate Class Schedule for deadlines to drop courses. Failure to pay does not in itself constitute a drop and failure to attend class does not constitute a drop from the class.
A student may not withdraw from a course after the course has ended or after the semester/summer session in which the course was taken has ended.
DROP POLICY - APPEAL PROCEDURE. See section titled "Appeal Procedure - Drop Policy".
ADDING - Courses can be added by using WebEASI at any time between the start of the Early Registration period and the time a Semester or Term begins. Also, courses can be added through the first week of a Fall or Spring Semester or the first day of class for a Summer Term.
After the first week of a Fall or Spring Semester or the first class meeting of a Summer Term, students must follow these steps:
- Obtain an Add form at the Office of Student Records and Registration.
- Complete the Add form and secure the signature of the instructor of the class that is being added. If the instructor is not available, the Department Chairperson or College Dean can also sign the form to authorize an add. After the second week of classes the signature of the class instructor, Department Chairperson, and College Dean are all needed to add a course.
- Return the Add form to the Office of Student Records and Registration for processing. If the class is the first class the student is enrolling in for the term, a late fee of $15 will be assessed to the student.
