DROP ADD GUIDELINES

An undergraduate student may change schedule by adding a course through the end of the first five class days of each semester or, in the case of a short course beginning later in the semester, may add the course before the second class meeting of the course. When an undergraduate student drops or withdraws from a class after the first two weeks but before the midpoint of the semester (or midpoint of a course that meets less than a full semester), the administrative mark of “W” is officially recorded.

An undergraduate student may drop or withdraw from a course after the midpoint of the semester (or the midpoint of a course that meets less than a full semester), only if the instructor or dean’s office finds extenuating circumstances that would make the assignment of the “W” appropriate.

A student who withdraws from courses, repeats courses, receives incompletes in courses or takes noncredit courses may not be able to complete the number of credit hours required for satisfactory progress;  therefore, the student may be jeopardizing his or her financial aid by withdrawing from or repeating courses, receiving incompletes in courses or taking non-credit courses.
