Policy: The Add/Drop period occurs prior to and throughout the first week (7 days) of a session. During this period, students may add and drop courses. New students may be admitted during this period provided they attend at least one (1) scheduled class, or post a gradable assignment for online, during the Add/Drop period. The University would consider students registered in their session as an intent to continue with their studies and confirmed into the session(s).
Students dropping all classes may be treated as withdrawals or become inactive. Please refer to our Continuous Enrollment policy and Grading System Policy for more information.
Dropped courses occurring within add/drop period may appear on student’s transcript but will not be included in evaluating student maximum allowable time frame specific to satisfactory academic progress. Students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor before making changes to their schedules. Students should also be aware that there may be financial implications to schedule changes.
Teacher Credentialing Program Specific Requirements
In alignment with teaching credentialing regulatory bodies, for students to participate in student teaching and meet required hours set by state and accrediting bodies, late registration is not permitted. Students must ensure they meet all requirements for student teaching as detailed in the Student Teaching Handbook prior to the first day of a session.
Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to provide directions of the last day to add or drop courses in a new session without academic or financial penalty for that course.
Procedure:
-
Students wishing to add course(s) through the add/drop period are able to do so through the Student Portal. Students should ensure they meet all prerequisites and obtain necessary approvals before adding a course. Please refer to the University Catalog for additional information.
-
Students wishing to drop course(s) during the drop period may drop courses through the Student Portal. Dropped courses will not appear on the student's transcript.
-
Students wishing to withdraw from courses after the drop period, may withdraw from courses by submitting a withdrawal form through the Student Portal. Withdrawn courses may result in a "W" grade on the student's transcript and may have academic and/or financial implications.
-
Dropping or withdrawing from courses may impact a student's progress toward degree completion, academic standing, and eligibility for financial aid.
Scope: The scope of this policy applies to all university employees and current students.
