Registrar Policies & Procedures
Drop/Add
With the approval of the Academic Status Committee, c/o Associate Dean, upperclass students may withdraw from a class and receive a grade of “W”. No one may withdraw from a course after the last day of class. A student who withdraws from a course without authorization will receive a failing grade of “F” for the course. No student may withdraw from a required course.
(The following was adapted from the Academic Bulletin)
No student may withdraw from any required course(s).
Students desiring to drop or add elective courses
during the Fall or Spring Semesters must submit,
in writing, a drop/add request (drop/add request
forms may be obtained in the Registrar’s
Office) to the Registrar’s Office during
the first week of each semester. Drop/adds cannot
be processed through the use of the Web Advisor
or any other electronic method. There is not
a drop/add period for Summer Sessions. Students
who have not officially dropped a course for
which they have previously registered will receive
a failing grade in that course. Students who
are not officially enrolled in a course will
not receive credit for that course.
A course which is dropped during the drop/add
period will not appear on a student’s transcript.
Students may not withdraw from an upper-division
course after the normal drop/add period without
the approval of the Academic Status Committee.
If the Academic Status Committee permits a student
to withdraw from a course, a “W” will
be entered next to the name of the course on
the student’s transcript to reflect this
action. Withdrawals from courses after the drop/add
period are only granted by the Academic Status
Committee for rare and compelling reasons. Under
no circumstances may a student withdraw from
a course after the last day of class for that
course. All requests to the Academic Status Committee
must be in writing (e-mail or fax requests are
unacceptable) and are to be delivered to the
Office of the Associate Dean. |
