Dropping, Adding, and Withdrawing from Courses

Courses may be added or dropped during the drop/add period by student request to the appropriate Program Director.

The drop/add period for each semester is listed in the academic calendar. If a student drops a course before the end of the drop/add period, the course will not appear on the student’s academic transcript, and the student will not be charged for that course.

A student who has attended a course during the drop/add period, and wishes to drop the course, must provide written notification via e-mail to his/her Program Director/Academic Advisor during the Drop/Add period.

A student who has not attended any session of a particular course during the drop/add period will be automatically administratively dropped from that course.

Students need to remember that by dropping a course, their financial aid may be affected. Therefore, students should contact the financial aid office before any decisions are made. No requests will be considered after the drop/add period is over.

A student may withdraw from a course up until the withdraw period noted on the academic calendar. Withdraws during the withdraw period result in the student receiving a “W” on their transcript.

The withdraw process requires written notification from the student. The failure to attend a course does not constitute a withdraw.
