Dropping A Class

Category: Student FAQs

How do I drop a class?

It is important to discuss dropping a course with your advisor, since this may impact your ability to graduate on time. To drop a course prior to the Friday of the first week of class, submit a completed Drop/Add form to the registrar’s office for processing. After the first week of class, classes can still be dropped. A "W" will appear on your transcript, indicating a withdrawal from the course. The registrar's office sets deadlines each semester for the withdrawal period.  After this period ends, a withdraw from a course requires an Exception to Academic Regulation form. See the University calendar for specific dates. Withdrawal from a course after the first week requires the signature of both the instructor and the student’s academic advisor or the associate dean/academic program counselors from the dean’s office.
