Students may add courses only during the first week of the term. Dates for adding courses are in the academic calendar. A student may drop a course in accordance with the following conditions:
- Without a grade – through the published date for a 100% refund of the term
- “W” - a student may receive a grade of W in the regular terms (Fall and Spring) until two weeks before the last day of any course in the regular term. No one may withdraw from a course after this final date.
- Students who drop below the minimum number of hours (12 hours in Fall and Spring Terms) to be considered full-time should be aware of potential problems with both financial aid and on-campus housing. Therefore, part-time status for undergraduate students is strongly discouraged.
After the first three days of a term, students who withdraw from courses with special fees, e.g. applied art, applied math, etc. may apply to the Vice President for Finance and Administration for a partial refund of such fees if any refund is due.
Warning: Anyone adding or dropping a course without following the proper procedure will: 1) not receive credit for the course added; and 2) receive an “F” for any course not officially dropped.
NOTE: Choosing to drop one or more courses should not be confused with SEPARATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY.
