Add/Drop Policies

Students who want to add or drop a course from their schedule of courses may do so only by filing a properly completed add/drop card with the Registrar's Office according to these guidelines:

The signatures of the students advisor and the instructor are required for all course adds. Only the signature of the students advisor is required for all course drops.

Full-semester courses may be added or dropped only until the end of the second week of the semester.

Half-semester courses may be added or dropped during the beginning of the semester periods as specified above for first-half semester courses, or during the period one week prior to the end of the first half of the semester until the end of the second week of the second half of the semester for second-half semester courses.


If, because of failure to attend at least one of the first two class sessions, students are refused entry to a class in which they are registered, they must still officially drop that course from their schedule at the registrars office. Tuition refunds that might be due will be made only on the basis of a properly filed drop card, regardless of the students actual attendance of the class.

The registrar will publish the exact dates on which all of the above deadlines fall. Exceptions to the procedures above will be allowed only upon approval of the Academic Status Committee.
