Class Schedule Change Add/Drop/Withdrawal Procedures

Add/Drop is an opportunity for a student to make adjustments to the courses she/he is enrolled in prior to the registration becoming official.  The Add/Drop period extends five class days into each semester.  A student may adjust courses during this period without a permanent record notation "W" for courses dropped.  Students enrolled in classes that meet less than the full-semester or Summer Offerings are subject to alternative Add/Drop Periods.  Please see the current calendar or contact the Records Office.
