ATTENTION F-1 STUDENTS: The system will not allow you drop below the full-time credit load if you are an international student on an F-1 visa. If you want to drop below the full course load (12 credits for undergraduate students, 9 credits for graduate students), please consult with the Office of International Services BEFORE attempting to drop your course(s).
Overview
Students wishing to make a change to their course schedule may generally add courses, drop courses, and/or change course grading options during the first two weeks of the semester. Such changes normally do not require any special permissions or fee payment, but are subject to the limitations of space availability in the course(s) and, if applicable, course load requirements for maintaining legal status in the U.S.
In order to drop a course after the second week but before the thirteenth week of classes, the student must consult the academic advisor to request the withdrawal. The student must also submit a completed Add/Drop Form, including the signatures of the instructor and academic advisor, to the Office of the Registrar for processing. Dropping a course after the fourth week of classes results in a “W” (Withdrawal) grade. “W” grades do not factor into a student’s grade point average.
