Adding, Dropping and Withdrawing Classes


Alterations to the student's schedule involving the addition of one or more classes, changes in class sections, or changes in credit status may submitted by logging in to the web registration system or by paper form.  The "Registration Change (Add/Drop) Form" may be obtained from the student's college or from the One Stop Student Service Center (2nd floor, University Pavilion). After the seventh (7th) calendar day of the quarter, additions to a class schedule require both a faculty signature and a signature from the college offering the class (with the exception of A&S classes) and must be submitted in person.

Adding and Dropping Classes

To process a registration change, students should complete the following steps:

  • Enter the One Stop Student Service Center or a branch registration office to submit a completed "Registration Change (Add/Drop) Form" for processing. Add/drops are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • If space is not available in the section that the student wishes to add, the student may attempt to add try other sections of that class (if offered).
  • Frequently check your schedule online to verify classes.

  • Full-time students who add credit hours over 18 will be charged additional fees for those excess hours. In addition, the credit hours over 18 must be dropped by the eighth calendar day of the quarter in order to have 100% of the charge for the excess hours removed.

Withdrawing from Classes

After the 15th calendar day of the quarter (see specific dates for Summer terms), but within the quarter, the student may withdraw from one or more classes, as follows:

  • Students may withdraw from classes through web registration if the instructor permits web withdrawals (refer to the instructor's class syllabus).  Students and instructors both will receive e-mail notification of the withdrawal.  Students are assigned a "W" grade at the time of the withdrawal, but instructors reserve the right to change the "W" to an "F" through the final grading process.
  • Students may also withdraw from classes in person, as follows:

    • A "Registration Change" form must be presented to the class instructor for his or her signature and, in the case of a withdrawal, indication of the appropriate grade, either "W" or "F". The last day to withdraw from a class is the 58th calendar day of the quarter (See specific dates for Summer terms).
    • The completed form must be brought to the One Stop Student Services Center (2nd floor, University Pavilion) for processing.
