Adding a Course

Dropping a Course

Drop Period: Students may drop a class using the online registration tools in Self Service through the deadlines outlined below. Courses dropped during this time will result in no coursework appearing on the student's transcript.

Drop-with-W Period: Student must use the Add/Drop Form to request a drop with a W through the deadlines outlined below. Courses dropped during this time will appear on the student's transcript with the administrative mark of "W" (withdrawal).
