Adding and Dropping Classes
Students may add or drop classes through the 5th day of the semester as noted in the Academic Calendar via PROWL with no financial or academic penalties. Classes dropped by the 5th day of the semester will not appear on a academic transcript or tuition bill. Students are not automatically dropped from courses due to absence.
Adding a Class after the 5th day of the semester
If a class needs to be added after the 5th day of the semester, the student must submit a General Petition form to the Office of the Registrar with a written explanation explaining why the class could not be added prior to the deadline. Late adds are reviewed individually and are subject to approval before they are processed. PROWL should be checked by the student for confirmation of a late add.
Dropping a Class after the 5th day of the semester
A class dropped after after the 5th day of the semester but before the deadline to withdraw from classes as noted on the academic calendar will remain on the student’s transcript as "W" (official withdrawal).
Dropping a class after the last day to withdraw from the semester
Permission of the student’s dean as well as final review by the Office of the Registrar is required for a class drop after the last day to withdraw from the semester as noted in the academic calendar. A student who stops attending after this deadline without this permission and final review will receive a grade of "F" (failure).
All discrepancies within a student’s registration must be submitted in writing to the Office of the Registrar via the General Petition form, along with all applicable documentation, as soon as the error is noted by the student. General Petitions are evaluated by the University Registrar, and written responses are sent to the student. Submission of a General Petition does not guarantee approval of the request, and all General Petitions will be included in a student’s file for future reference.
