Dropping and Adding Courses
The "Drop/Add Period" is defined as the period at the start of each term when students may drop and add courses to their schedule without consequence. With the exception of the fall term, the Drop/Add Period will begin on the first day of class; for fall, it will begin the day before. After the Drop/Add Period ends, students may continue to add second half-semester courses.
When the Drop/Add Period ends, students may withdraw from courses until the midpoint of the term which is published on the Academic Calendar. Half-semester withdrawal dates are published separately on the Registrar's website. Withdrawals are indicated by a "W" on the academic transcript and do not factor into the GPA.
