Adding/Dropping Classes: Procedures for Students

Adds

Adds: First Week of Classes

Students who are properly advised for class may add a class through the first week of classes which is the late registration period.  Instructor signature is needed only if class is full.

Adds: Second Week of Classes Last Chance to Add a Class

Instructor signature is required for students who are properly advised for class to add a class beyond the first week of classes but prior to the start of the third week of classes. Students who do not finalize their registration during the first 2 weeks of class may jeopardize their ability to earn credit or earn a grade for that class.

Adds: Third Week of Classes and Beyond

Only under extenuating circumstances may a student add a class beyond the second week. As noted in the Second Week Policy, students who do not finalize their registration for a class during the first 2 weeks of class may jeopardize their ability to earn credit or earn a grade in that class. During the third week of classes students must secure the Instructor signature and the signature of the Academic Dean (Office A204)

Drops

Drops: First 6 Weeks of the Semester

Students dropping  a class within the first 2 weeks of class will no longer appear on a class  roster.  Weeks 3 through 6 are referred to as the “Automatic Withdrawal Period.”  During this time period students may drop classes without consulting faculty.  These students will receive a grade of ‘W’ for both the mid-term and final grade.

Drops: Weeks 7 through 12

Students wishing to drop during this period must bring a drop form to their instructor who will assign a grade of ‘W’ or ‘F’. There are no other options. The instructor will sign and submit the form to the registrars office for processing. There are no drops allowed after week 12.
